I hear that the 1,000 points isn't worth it yet I've had more than one player, when deciding settings, ask to exclude it. If it's not worth the 1,000 points, then it would seem people would WANT me to waste them. I can spend those 1,000 points and still get around 130% off/def, and 3 other special traits. So, in the future, if it's a waste of points, then let me waste them and don't propose we exclude it from choice...
There, that's all that needs to be said on ancient in KOTH from me.
