So, is a contact on day 126 a harsh reality? As far as I remember, the earliest contact I've seen was on day 127 (several times), but that was thanks to control from the first utopia. In most games, a contact before the 3rd or even 4th week is rare.
Now imagine this situation: a final is being played, and it's intense because it's one of those "rare" games with a contact at the end of the 2nd week. I agree - it should be on mini-nodes up to 125, and on Jebus - up to 116 inclusive (breaking your own and the opponent's growth and gold on 117 is not that rare).
