Sure but like, it's not a massive enough gift that it's a problem for game balancing. It's not exactly the end of the world to dig out more space and use mansions instead.
This is an utterly terrible take. What is the purpose of having an entire structure in the game that is functionally locked behind bot-fed infrastructure? Yeah, it's very viable to just opt for mansions, yeah it's viable to opt for great halls, but at this point I'm pretty sure I will never build a tower unless it is literally impossible to fit another structure in the space.
That's not at all what I meant, but I didn't finish my thought and it definitely reads the way you interpreted it. My bad :/
I just wanted to comment that "of the various things that factions abuse, this mechanic isn't super impactful". I did not mean to say "It's ok to have mechanics and benefits that are 95% only accessible to botters".
I see no reason why 5 wrought and 500 stone is an unreasonable cost for stone towers. It would not change when I build them, and it would still be a notable amount of effort for the average player to construct. People still gonna bot it, but your average joe will be able to make them as well.
