Defensive game

What I have heard over the years of playing Supremacy, is that the game moves too slow and takes too long.
I disagree that it is too slow, real time should be expected, and Bytro has made speed maps an option for those with a Donkey Kong mentality of have to be busy.
What I do take issue with is that the latest changes to the game features not increases the defensive abilities even more than they already where, making the game drag on longer due to the hesitancy to make an attack unless overwhelming odds are in one's favor with melee, or massed arty after nearly 1/4 of the map time is already expired.
I would suggest rebalancing this to the benefit of the offense. Give me the option to go and play "Hulk Smash" rather than "Go ahead. Waste your troops."
Speed up the game. It is slow enough already.
Also, after 10 years of service to Bytro and the community, I would think I have earned the respect and the trust to have my threads or actions here posted rather than held up for some review. Lets look at some reality here shall we? If the Smods do not know how to do this, let me know. I can walk them through it.
