View Poll Results: How do you use gems in general ?
Only for globals or other endgame things, if my mages are not yet able to cast them I tend to have big stocks of all gems types 3 4.29%
I usually make stocks for some gem types as my strategies often use endgame globals (or wishes) 2 2.86%
I mostly use gems for forge and summons, but use them a lot since midgame 35 50.00%
I mostly use gems to have an advantage in big battles, having well provisioned mages on the battlefield is my first priority 3 4.29%
Gems I've not used for forge or summons this turn are given to boost my battlefield mages, I rarely have stocks 6 8.57%
My priority is to build a magical economy (clams, fetishes, hammers, low level gem producing globals) I use gems for other matters only once my production is huge 9 12.86%
I alchemize or trade most of the gems my national mages can't use, so in 2 or 3 colors I can have stocks and use a lot of gems at the same time 2 2.86%
I don't really have a tendancy like all things it's nation dependent 10 14.29%

Default The big gems poll

The way I use gems has changed a lot in my dominion carreer.

In the beginning I was very gem retentive and often stockpilled them to cast undispellable globals in a far future, the only items I forged were boosters, clams (a need in dom2) or SC pretender gear -except if I could have artefacts-, my mages had just the minimum number of gems to follow their script, and I summoned only endgame creatures (the problem was I wasn't very dangerous before).

Now it tends to be the exact contrary, I forge a lot more, summon in midgame, and often give gems to my battlemages even if they are not scripted to cast gem spells, and even with high gem income I rarely have stocks of more than 20 or 30 at the end of a turn (except when I plan to cast a global, and it's very rare if I don't have a natural very high level caster to protect it).

And you what are your tendencies ?
