Well, it *could* be done that these infos can be overrided by the map 
settings or by the server's local txt file settings... The questions are:
- Are the added gameplay possibilities worth the work [because this 
feature is probably not so fast to implement and our two coders still 
have few time].
- Do we really want to do that? I mean that if that is done, there will 
be a much lower interest in improving the default configuration file if 
we say "bah map designers can change it afterwards if it's not perfect".

But in spite of that, it would still be a very good feature to have a 
way to change these settings, especially for less standard gameplay 
modes. Couldn't the script do that?? Just an idea...

By the way, if there are rules you would like to tweak, change them in 
your config file and test them. Then you can suggest your modifications 
to be merged into the official config file.
