Yes, and I’ve been rushed by those same angels many times, once the opponent literally got 5 cons with an external dwelling of angels just on the starting respawn :rolleyes: , but I would never ban either them or the Hives, because what really ends up happening? One player gets a generator that throws both external dwellings and treasure chests for buyout and construction, while the other just gets Hives and cons with some other useless junk for change (and believe me, that happens, and not that rarely) :D ! Having allowed :) cons and Hives adds a special thrill to the game — if you don’t see them on your side, don’t whine — head toward the opponent faster (from the end of the first, start of the second week at least) and snatch them from under his nose, or find other paths of development. And what’s the point if you’ve looted all sorts of free crypts and gnome huts (let’s say a total of 5-10 of them on a couple of respawns), built up, bought everything — came and killed your opponent with his banned cons and his pockets full of cash.
There are already more bans than enough in the rules, and I think a new ban in the GENERAL rules won’t lead to anything good; personally IMHO, like many others, I’ll either stop playing entirely or will secretly :D make deals and play by the “pre-revolutionary” rules :p . Although I myself take these buildings not like I’m cracking sunflower seeds, but with losses, and very rarely as handouts, as most of them should be taken (:o I only recently started slowly taking Hives on week 2 in online games...).
