Re: Gem Income?
I rarely have gem incomes above about 20 per turn in any particular path until the game is effectively over, unless I've got a global up like Earth Blood Deep Well. Your gem incomes sound pretty normal. Of course, it all depends on your empire size.
Consider, though, that an astral income of 30 gems per turn IS enough for monthly castings of Acashic Record. Teleporting 5 commanders is only 10 pearls per turn.
By the way, your gem incomes will of course be slightly higher if you have site-searched with spells or high-level mages instead of low-level mages. I'd guess that searching to X3 (for any magic path X) nets you 30% more gems than X2, and 80% more than X1. Roughly. At a guess.
