Re: Dud nations
Sparks does cost an earth gem. That's why the fatigue is set to 100.
Earth Magic can go in construction if it wants - why is Legions of Steel in construction instead of alteration or enchantment? Weapons of sharpness, likewise? So, both Purified Lance and Shrapmetal work on constructed materials, so they can go in Construction if they want.
As for Ulm not wanting spells - well, that's fine, but I don't think it'll fix the problem. With a minor improvement in Ulm's military, especially a toughness related improvement, you still do most of your killing with Magma Eruptions.
It's a magic-heavy game. If you want Ulm to make more use of her troops, give her national-troop buffing spells.
