I usually play SP at 50 gold, resources, and supply, and very difficult magic research. This means that the spells I have and the spells the computer has, are around for a longer time, and empowerment becomes a much more valid choice, which means by mid or end game I can use most spells, and since I like to play against 18 or more opponents, it means that the computer is using more spells too-perhaps not very well, but they are using them. I'd like to see low-level spells become more useful too. It seems logical to me that the easier a spell is to cast, the more times it would have had to have been cast in the past, and therefore there should be more uses for that spell, if only through the power of creativity.
