Where to put the gold
Right now, when you search for a match, it costs you gold and it disappears from the game.
It might be a good idea for the gold to go to the person you just found in the match, possibly to some type of obstacle similar to the loot cart. The new obstacle could gold for each time you are found in a match and would accumulate over time until emptied.
Not only would this keep more resources in the economy, it would also reward well defended base because they are often skipped over by someone looking for an easier base to attack.
