[Gandalf Parker]

I agree that in MP I rarely use it. The smaller maps puts a rush on you that makes extensive searches of every province a luxury I cant afford.

But there are times I consider it. Besides those mentioned, if a lab randomly pops up in a province where Ive found no magic sites then Im eager to see if there might randomly be a good use of it. It might not be smart use of gems but its far too tempting to quickly see how lucky I might be.

Or if Im about to build a castle in an important strategic location. I particularly love having a search give me a castle there. Sometimes I do acashic on two provinces next to each other where I want to build a castle but cant decide which to build on.

But the size of the game will often decide how many acashics Im willing to do.
