I thought that almost every pretender design and it's spinnoffs had either Watchtower or Wizard's Tower?

I think that is more because Admin, Defence and Supplies are hardly worth the extra cost of a few days of construction and gold.

I agree. I've never seen "mad castling" as a problem at all.
In some of my games, it's not a problem... it's a necessity. If you don't have a castle on every province, you're going to automatically lose it to Ghost Riders and a batch of Spring Hawks.

CB. But keep in mind that Ghost Riders was made *more* difficult to cast in CB.

That's why I was asking, in vanilla dom Ghost Riders are a serious threat, but in CB they are hard to spam.
Are those games with "normal" settings, or more extreme stuff (gigantic maps, lots of players etc.)
Actually, now that I think about it, even in CB they are spammable by summoning demiliches and giving them path boosters.

Bingo. In my case, I had the possibility of huge armies, but they were never worth it since a wrathing Air Queen could Trapeeze over the instant they peeped outside a castle. So the Ghost Riders escalation begins... not complaining really, it was a fun game... but I did get blindsided on this one much to my chagrin, only to have all the "old-school" players nod and smirk.
