[830][Gen] spikes op

fwiw i completely ignored this thread before making the changes because i knew it'd be full of exactly what it's full of - but I'm glad you like the changes. I got the gist of what everyone was feeling about them ingame and on irc.

the new spikes are most overpowered thing since velociraptors. strange that there havent been a thread about that already, probably because this issue is so obvious. every hall turns into a fucking porcupine. hell, even porcupines have spikes only on the outside, while halls in kag have them outside AND inside. i like that they are team-based, hard to spot and retract on contact, but this is just too much. either make them hurt both teams, so some more sophisticated designs including trapblocks must be used or reduce their hitpoints, so they are faster to remove. builders die trying to remove them even when there are no enemies around. the only way to cap a defended hall now is to reduce it into smoking pile of debris and ash using bombs, kegs, catas and carpet bombings (if available). and that leads to stalemates that lasts for hours or until the server crashes :/

Personally I think the old spikes were just too easy to remove, 2 bombs and they crack away, so why waste 100 stone to put stone blocks and spikes if they are going to be destroyed by 2 bombs, now they have more meaning.
