 Once you're drowning in gems (relative to cash), you can start truly playing around.  Slashing the number of troops on the board also vastly improves the effectiveness of thugs and SCs.

 Your  AI  opponents are not able to hoard gem generators such as clams which provides you an unfair advantage.  Why don't you try a game where you don't use any gem generators and provide a distant AI opponent with a dozen or more SCs of his own.  
It's too bad more intelligence wasn't provided for AI opponents.
