Hey, I don't like Orc Nests either. I don't really like any Orc-themed building that they have come up with. I know you like it, but the Orc Chapter was the thing that made me come closest to quitting playing this game. It took so long and I was constantly being asked to turn my city into a messy, nasty, muddy mess. I can't imagine what the attraction of that is.
So, visually, I don't really mind between the two things. Orc Nests I slightly prefer because of the early-collect, plus they are a bit more subtle looking, sitting in the corner of my city. I've built 5 Orc Ships now because Nests aren't too easy to come by, but I will rip them straight back down as soon as I've collected up the number of Orcs that I want to.
