Should we increase the gold on the map to delay trash war a bit

Yes but the stone costly castles and towers then should have some extra-ram attack aswell.
Need to check the values of the OG Boiling Oil tech, but I think some bonus vs Rams for Towers and Castles in addition to the current murder holes effect can should work quite well.

I don’t want trash units to be able to bust through heavy paid defences like it was nothing. There’s a reason they cost so much stone.
