Jim: Hmm. The dynamics are interesting. I do think that Bow of Botulf-wielding summons would be just as good as what I propose. (BTW, did I mention that the Feeblemind spell is supposed to have godawful accuracy?) But then, how hard is it to get a Storm up to protect your SCs?

Also, I believe it is an exaggeration to say that removing SCs _in late game_ would necessitate a return to early game. Surely, having 2 300-piece armies face off against each other when both sides have attained level 9 research will be very different than both sides having attained level 2 research, no?

Here's another option. Is there a way to _offensively_ cast Returning on someone? That is, place the Returning 'buff' on a unit, so that when it's hit, it's teleported back to its capital?

That might have the same effect.
