True, Wish has to be researched.
I really wonder how can somebody make enough mages to produce clams, produce army that will conquer more land to get more water gem income, cover your borders so someone just doesn't walk over you (it shows in graphs if you have small army), get mages to search those provinces to find magic sites, research all the way to level 4 construction and level 9 alteration and do it all in 40 turns.
I'm sorry to say it but I just don't believe that is possible. It may be possible to get such gem income but you research will be practically 0 and you will have no army to speak off after first 40 turns.
