Re: Gem Income?
Your gem types sound normal.
Some of the guides get a bit carried away with themselves, often giving you the impression, 'look you can do all this', when in reality you have to choose between strategy A or B.
To get mega amount of gems in a game you after plan to produce blood stones, clams, fever fetishes or get 1 or more global gem producer up.
Any province which produces a decent amount of gems, consider a castle there, to guarentee the income.
I play alot and constantly encounter a shortage of astral and nature gems. Even on 50%+ magic sites maps. The nature shortage has become alot more apparent since all those extra sites got added in a patch some time ago. Searched 50+ provinces for astral in 2 MP games recently and only got a lousy single figure astral income. So thats 100s gems in astral searching to get a income of 7s or so. Not good and very annoying.
I never have a shortage of death gems which seem far too plentiful and is usually my highest gem type income or close too it.
