never mind, I didn't read the topic thoroughly enough :D
but for the record: I don't agree with Renaud, less gold wont lead to longer games
another "timer"-like idea: after certain time point (90 minutes for example), every player will receive gold penalties over time (every minute), like 0.9*X/Y (where is X is a current gold amount, Y - number of minutes in which players will lose 90% of their gold), it will force players to spend their gold and not to sit on it
In the aspect of long games with lengthy periods when nothing happens have you considered drastically reducing gold amount in expands (like x/2 or 2*x/3)? It will naturally lead to faster, more aggressive and intense games with less towers (due to reduced economic efficiency of mass towers) and without shady factors of point calculation, additional pressure of timer and questionable admin's decisions
