did you mean to reduce the average number

Edi,

You are better at the game than me! I think this has a real influence on gem use. Also, I just don�t play that much, so when I get a chance to cast a new spell or summon a new creature, I do it, just to see what happens. BC (before child) I played more. I also drank more, went out more and had more friends. On the plus side, I now have more dirty diapers�

Edratman,

I am with you, more magic! Especially diaper cleaning magic.

I always play SP games with 75% magic sites, I love a magical rich world. I still never have enough gems...

Also I do not empower mages usually unless I am desperate. Nature gem shortage is always a particular problem.

Having said that I have'nt really noticed much of difference. I have a tendancy to be lazy in SP and cast Arcashic Record to find my gems.

I can't see it giving too much a advantage to blood, it takes alot of micro to get 100 - 300 blood slaves and ties down alot of mages.

I think its a very minor problem overall.

Hardly. I know more about the game from an encyclopedia perspective, but in a multislayer game I'd be likely to get squashed flat. Since I mostly play SP, I like having bit more of a challenge, which is why I prefer hard research and sites at 30 or 35.

I need to figure out how to have time enough to start an MP game and then the new to intermediate players can get to play "Whack the sage". The veteran crew would have me for breakfast before moving in on each other for lunch.

As someone who enjoys the aspect of army/troop tactics I welcome the lower gem income.

Hope you enjoy fending off hordes of dual-blessed demons with your national armies. ))
