And also, I thought for a long time why diplomacy was so firmly removed from my arsenal, and then I realized – we played almost exclusively online, and there sometimes you skip pathfinding in favor of air magic. Mass acceleration on old maps will be more expensive than many other perks. And we used magic like this: Armageddon, Portal, Flight, Dimension Door, Prayer. We edited maps to remove randomness and so on. Otherwise, one guy beat me simply by sending kamikazes at me. Every week, several Warlocks with 1 gold dragon and Armageddon. The economy just couldn't handle it.
