Allow to see the income of players updating each new round.

NO! because then Spectators could "leak" this informations to some of the players!

I dont think people are lame enough to do that... In many games this is possible but not many cheat with it. I think it would be more fun to spectate if you saw the income/money.

I have an idea: Make it possible to see the income/money, but 1 minute delayed? So even if spectators saw the income and money, that info wouldnt really matter much even if they leaked it to the players.

You can also prevent leaking by not allowing spectators to chat with players at all.

I agree with EasyX and seeing the income one minute delayed isn“t much better, its nearly the same.

Like a poker game, sometimes the player can called the bluff by saving a round or 2 and send bigger or more creeps. Or they can keep low profile by sending weaker creeps, and suddenly attack with stronger creep afterwards.

Leaking the income will seriously flawed the game. Someone will bound to leak the info out, one way or another.

I also don't think that this is an good idea. If you clearly watch a game you get an intention how much income a player has anyway.

If you can know it without seeing, then where is the problem showing it to spectators directly? ;)

If i think someone has 1k income i can tell the opponent, but neither I nor the opponent will know the exact income before the end of the game. Additionally normally only average or good player can evaluate how high the income of someones is and they propably won't tell it to an opponent.
Another point is that nearly everybody will be logged in with his twink and like this see the income of his opponents
