Yeah, I am also glad they are gone in the CBM. I never spent the time massing them before so always felt I was missing out on something. This wasn't a big deal with single player, but in multi-player it could put you at a big disadvantage.
Now that I am finally back in the game and trying out MP for the first time, I am glad they aren't there
. Now I don't have to worry about fitting them into a strategy.
