Should we ban the Griffin Conservatory and the Hive of Serpents?

Even so, it's still very frustrating when you have to work hard like a locomotive to get troops, capture resource points, build in your castle, and extend supply lines to earn money for their recruitment, while your opponent gets all of this for free and in much larger quantities...

On the other hand, there are many things one can talk about... resource points, for example – some people get them for free... gnomes, nagas... – ideally, the ability to defend resources in a chain, as well as the ability to break enemy supply lines, shouldn't be the defining indicator of skill.
IMHO - Skill mainly determines the ability to prioritize – here and now – in the face of continuously incoming new and emerging information, while the overall picture of the world usually remains undefined.
