But I thought I explained everything quite clearly... apparently not. I was talking about LARGE maps, where development takes longer; there, you don't even need to build a town, and you have money.
As I wrote, it's not effective at all on small maps... but on large maps, if you capture it early, it will either be at the expense of your own development or later. And later, it won't give you that much, maybe just a couple of offspring, I agree, that's not so significant... it's unpleasant, but tolerable.
And regarding spells, I already wrote about it in the previous post... 8))
