realm ; and finally realised that as long my mages upkeep was paid it was better to alchemize for other gems

Why does the mage's upkeep matter? Commanders don't desert when unpaid (I'm about 90% sure of that but my memory is fuzzy) so this is only an issue if you want to buy more mages.

Commanders never desert. I ran a long test with EA Pangea with 0 income for many many turns and they never lost a Pan.

Jazzepi is right and i agree with calmon, it was marginal in Dom2 and it just didn't get scaled up with the economy in 3.
