That could be fun, but that's not quite the same experience as a set piece battle. 

If anything goes they can just receive "gift from the gods" and get on with it.

More Updates on the World Rising Mod: Units and Technologies!   Hello everyone! I'm pleased to share further progress in the development of the World Rising mod! The focus of this update was to further enhance the troops and technological progression: Units with New Textures: I bring you new images of the units, now featuring completely redone textures! They are more detailed and faithful to the historical period. New Technologies: I have added 12 new technologies to expand the options for development and strategy in the game. My goal is to finish all units by the end of this week. I hope you like the work! Please take a look at the images below and leave your comments!

How about just starting with tons of resources (is that still called deathmatch?)
