Mixed difficulty, race mode, and delay timers

[echinodermata]

You might say mixed difficulty is still not balanced, or you might not.

But either way, race mode just makes it ridiculous.

We have different "delay times" for the spawning of the next wave. I believe the current set is

d_ve=30s

d_e =22s

d_n =15s

d_h =9s

d_vh=4s.

(side note: Quadratic?? Seems arbitrary.)

We need delay times for race mode too. Otherwise its pretty much instant win for the person on lowest difficulty (that is, if he doesn't die first). For example,

r_ve=16s

r_e =12s

r_n =8s

r_h =4s

r_vh=0s.

(Again, rather arbitrary; can be adjusted.)

An alternative solution is to give players on higher difficulty more race points per first finish.

Discuss.
