Arcane Nexus -- Bugged?

No, no monthly rituals. I also have a very significant clam revenue, but the gems here is independant of clam revenue.

You should get the gems underwater. I do. Sounds like just a weird bug.

Speaking of bugs, I dont know if this has been posted elsewhere also, but:

When the caster of Enchantments if killed, thus killing the Global Enchantment, the enchantment stays active, but doesnt work.

For example, my well of misery doesnt give me gems, but attempting to cast another well fails with the already active message. There are only 4 global spots filled right now, so it should just auto fill slot 5. And no, no one else cast it in the meantime, the enchant list still has 4 globals, even at turns end. Seems like the programming routine for destroying the globals doesnt perform as it should.

How can you be in a loosing position in a SP game with all 5 GE's yours?

My armies are ALL outnumbered about 5 to 1.

Pangaea has a ton of massive stacks, Man is harrying me on 3 fronts, and Vanheim owns 2/5ths of the world, not to mention Ctis is on my other border, not sure if they are about to attack Vanheim or me. If my Nexus was working, I'd be churning out Ether Gates, but it doesnt seem to be. I will likely win the game, in the end, but I am losing ground badly right now.

I am throwing murdering winters and tidal waves at the opponents right now, and its slowing them down...

The truth is, I'm used to using Ermor, and as I say, I made a bunch of mistakes that cost me a ton. I have only about 18 provinces, and several of those are under attack, or about to be lost. my income is awful, which doesnt allow big armies to counterattack with. Magical might is mine, and I have the gems, but I cant cast most summons from below the waves, and I havent got a safe tower above ground to cast from.

Sacrifice expansion for research and mages.

And one of my previous enchantments, Riches from Beneath, doesnt appear to work from the Ocean.

At least, I didnt get a single gold piece, or resource point more with it, than I had without it.

For references purposes, I am playing Kingdom of Karan, and I own the oceans, and waters, all of em, but the world above ground, I have little more than a beachhead, and I keep losing that beachhead.
