Default \"Doubling\" an existing global

Just to be sure : if someone casts a global enchantment and I try to cast it also, I think that the casting is resolved as if I try to dispel the existing one (die roll with opposing additional gems + caster level as modifiers). Then either it fails and I get nothing, else my global replaces the former one.
Can someone confirm I'm right (or else what happens) ?
Thx

Had that happen to me as well. That's one of those "bang on the table and scream noooooooooooooooooooo!!!" moments.

Thanks.
Additional question ; how many additional gems do you usually put in a GoH by mid-game (turn 45 or so in a not-so-competitive MP environment) ?
So I'd adjust my casting

Heh. While I was the lucky one to override someone else's global spell the very same turn the other player cast it.

grmbl, I would put at least 300 gems to be sure that no evil Man nation that has enough globals anyway can override mine...

How dare you PDF!

Huh, I didn't know you came here from time to time ...
But well, I can't let a neighboring Miasma Ctiss having a GoH on... Why do you think I've put a Mother Oak some turns ago ?
