Subtleties of global spells

[Gateway103]

Regarding the issue of dispelling, here is an excerpt from the thread, "What determines whose Global spell sticks?" located here,

There is an openended six side die added to the gem input of every global and dispelling attempt.

In your example, then, this means that it is possible to dispel/replace your 100 gems Mother Oak with less than 100 gem used. This also means that spending more than 100 gems to dispel the Mother Oak isn't fool-proof, but simply more likely (than say 50/50) to succeed.

Okay, thanks for the info. The 6-sided die thing
explains some of the goofy behavior I have been seeing.

Any idea what determines the ranking of the global spells?

I dunno. But I wish there was a way to adjust, at the beginning of the game, how many enchantments were allowed, for games with 17 players to have more and 2 to have fewer. It's nearly endgame a lot before global enchanments stack up in some of my smaller games.

Is this certain? Because if so, it is a bug for sure.
