For every 10 seconds that you didn't deploy any weapon you get a coin penalty of let's say 100 coins. If you don't have that kind of money then game issues an auto surrender.
This goes hand in hand with the pause game feature suggestion.
Also if you think you are so smart to waste time in a timed game where time should be the most valuable commodity then make sure you are rich enough to do so!
This would be an incentive for devs to make smarter bots because the ones just running around headless are boring and with money disappearing bugs don't really motivate me to spend money on the game while in beta.

We are aware of issues with the AI and have fixed those problems which will be updated in the next build, to be released soon.
The don't move penalty is an interesting idea, one I'd be hesitant to follow through with but will keep an eye on. We don't want to penalise players, but if it does become a problem later we can revisit and discuss.

If each player had always the same amount of turns, time penalty would be acceptable. If not, why should I give my opponent an extra turn to hit me and win the match?
There are people complaining about this even when they had the same amount of turns as the adversary.

Yuki is correct on this one, I'm afraid that there is no correct answer. We can't keep everyone happy. Some people will run down the timer, others just get on with it. We looked into giving players the exact same amount of turns each, but quite frankly it was boring. The time limit is much more exciting as you never know who's going to get the most turns. And it's not really about the amount of turns you gets, it's what you do with them! ;)

yep, but its lame and killing gameplay.. Especially in few situations, like if you are alredy heavily leading and opponent have nothing out of wasting time, or when opponents turn starts @ 00:35, and it waits till 00:05 and then trow an granade or whatever, which takes another 5 seconds...

I think that the ''final time waste'' is a kind of strategy of the game, since you could do the math and have an ideia of what move you could make that gives you an advantage upon the other player. I do not agree with the ideia of the penalty for those who that do not moves within some seconds, 'cause they could have been thinking about what to do and maybe, they could been having conection issues. The point is, the penalty will be just a annoying option to "confort" you about your loss by a strategist player.
That's my opinion :)
