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 ?
