Untrue, especially for LA Pangaea. 90 gems, especially for LA, means you will be able to get Mother Oak up way before 90 nature gems have been collected. Mother Oak at 50 nature gems is *much* more useful, especially for LA Pan (nature gems are needed to summon the carrion commanders).
Just because Carrion Woods in vanilla is possibly the worst global in the game does not mean just moving it from Ench8 to Ench0 would have made it good
When the price was 50 nature gems it was worth it, at CW at 90 gems makes Mother Oak the sane mans choice.
Carrion Woods destroys the economy, so saying you get free units is untrue. You pay through your nose for those manikin created by CW. The extra gems is *the* reason to get CW up. If you want manikin troops, then the correct route is to summon the carrion commanders and let them reanimate masses of manikins.
