Clams overpowered?

So, now Mictlan and Abysia can do something about it if the clam hoarder hasn't been smart enough to put domes on his provinces.

IIRC, domes won't stop Astral Corruption.

Sadly, tons of astral gems *will* stop Astral Corruption, and it's also very expensive and a very high research level. Also, it does nothing to the clams you already have.

I still feel that if there is any problem (and not just insufficiently aggressive play against a turtle strategy), it is that water magic doesn't do enough other worthwhile things, perhaps partly because cold immunity is so common. It's easy to find other uses for astral gems, but not so easy to find other uses for water gems.
