Sure, maybe they attract chaff. I have no problem with that.
But using that to weaken them seems wrong to me. It'll just work to frustrate and annoy players.

Witness the eternal kvetching about Golems dying at the autorout, even though they could have easily won. Limiting SCs like this will more common and more broken.

Fair point, players will certainly get annoyed by routing SC's when they haven't even been injured. Like with many things I guess, it all depends what the aim is. If it's to stop solo SC use, then it might work quite nicely, and force player to use them as support for armies only. Of course some players might just refuse to alter their play-styles, and end up being frustrated game after game. So it'd be a bad change for the stubborn players.

Not that this thread has anything to do with SC stuff So apologies to the OP for the O/T hijacking. Carry on.
