Info: Blood stones and MR

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.

Yea, hurrah for no gem-gens! And no dwarven hammers! I still play around with them in SP (MA Agarta is a blast and a half with bloodstones...), but MP is much better off without them. As llama has pointed out before, with gem-gens/hammers available, you can't afford not to make them part of your strategy, and that makes the game less interesting.
