Combine with the fact that there aren't all that many uses for water gems

What I typically do with water gems is first save enough to get a Sea King (and his 15 sea trolls). The king alone will then give me 1W gem/turn thereafter. Then the king can, with his own gem income, summon another troll every turn. This adds up nicely. I find this a must when I play as R'leyh, but I tend to also do it for other nations with my water gems and casters. The king can also make Quick boots as needed.

Please bear in mind that I do this in addition to making clams with the water income. In the mid-to-late game I burn through quite a few astral gems summoning Angelic Hosts. I just love those move-3, fire-3, holy-4 avenging angels. I can never have too many.
