Re: Alexander\'s Ever-Expanding Tome of Knowledge,
I agree in principle. However, some globals, clams, and even low level summons can be useful at times.
Globals are risky since they can be Dispelled so easily, and cost so many gems, but gem producing globals will pay themselves back quickly. Most others are very situational, and some I would probably never use (Ghost Ship Armada for example).
Clams are an investment to the future. Most of the time it's probably best to use the gems for something useful right then, but I would't say they are useless.
Low level summons can be used if there's a war you are losing and need every bit of help you can get. Saving gems does no good if you are wiped out.
