If I had an empire and armies big enough to lose 1000s of gold EACH turn to BOT, I wouldn't care - because it would mean I have won the game already.

On the other hand, losing 1000s each turn to Utterdark is easy.

Not if you play on large maps.
Even smaller maps then Faerun (like Cradle) will produce significant loss. The trouble on larger maps is that it's harder to actually get in and kill offensive mage so you usually have to take the losses or try some long-range attack. Long-range attacks usually don’t do much good against BoT casters since they are usually either pretenders or powerful mages that you can't kill with seeking arrows or flames from afar.

Then there are losses you get if you collect fetishes, clams, etc and your carriers keep getting killed from old age.

Not arguing Utterdark, though.
