Let's talk about our Red Rush strategy...

Maybe it would be simpler to just leave the ban on Resource Production (RR) everywhere and not worry about it? It's effective and very powerful on medium maps and skirmishes. On high-level (HL) maps, it can work on turn 131 – allowing you to kill with a growth bonus, or if you have 10 cities with full buying, you can kill someone in the main city (if you're a Necromancer, that's +500 bones, not counting the rest of the army). Out of 200 games with RR, no one complained? Well, that's because it was allowed. Otherwise, I would at least have +10-20 games on HL+Ultra maps where I could simply kill my opponent on turn 2 with a full buy in the city.
