They're about right, and shouldn't be changed. 29 32.95%
No, their utility is balanced by the research investment/cost in mage time/gem cost or whatever, especially if you want to wish (or other high level spell-spam.) 16 18.18%
No, they're no longer worth the investment/bother, especailly now tha I need nature/water mages to get them. 5 5.68%

Default Re: Poll: Is Clam Hording Too Good?

An army with proper magical support can take down most SCs with little problem. I don't see why anyone would really want to make the 100 gem investment most SCs represent any weaker than they already are. They're great for raiding and killing PD since their strength is in their mobility, but they fold up and die to a significant enemy magic presence as it is. (Earth buffs on the troops, the other elements if they lack resists, mass horror marks or soul slays, disintegrate/drain life, and charm (not optimal due to MR and short range, but a scary prospect for the SC's owner)
