Well, this may not be much help. In fact, it may not be any help at all. But here goes:

I'm no good with numbers. In fact, almost failed Algebra 2 in high school. But I can judge a battle and what my commanders will do. How do I do this? Because I have played Dominion for like 5 years.

I dunno. It's just intuition now, based on many years of playing the game. I know my mages are going do crazy stuff. I build that into the turn script. If I want them to follow script, I don't give them any gems. They get crazy when they have gems. If I need a specific mage to do a specific thing, then I give him just enough gems to do it, and script it for the first action.

Wow. Longest post in months.
