Gemgen alternative idea.

I think this is a great idea. It directly addresses two major problems with hoarding:

1) Clams are not detectable - fixed

2) Clams could never be destroyed (they would just be moved by lab to a diffent location) - fixed

Actually, clams can be destroyed... Armageddon destroys them together with their holders. Lost tons of clams that way recently.

Yeah but that was basically the only way you could get at them. Now, you can seige/storm the fort where your enemies clams are and wipe them out. Additionally, making them fragile means they are vulnerable to regular remotes: seeking arrow, flames from afar, disease, etc.

Can't you assassinate a clam-holder and take/destroy his clam?

Not if you put them on a scout.

Wrath of God (?) can kill them, too, I think.
