Yes, but only in long games. 29 32.95%
Yes, but only sometimes, e.g. for patala, who also get easy hammers, or with wish, or alteration sites etc etc. 5 5.68%
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?

I think clams are fine as they are, but I wouldn't mind seeing some anti-clam/gem producer spells just to add another layer of tactical complexity.

Maybe a global that stops all clam (maybe fetish and stones too) production while it's up. Or paradoxically makes them only function outside of a water province. A global that destroys 5% of them every turn it's up would be nice too, without, I think, being overpowering since any clam producer worth his salt has tons of astral gems for dispel.

Or maybe a province targeting spell that would shatter a certain % of items in a specific province, with lower cost items being more vulnerable and items over a certain gem cost being immune. A spell like this would not only add a clam-counter, but would be tactically useful elsewhere and limited by your ability to scout.

I also think clam income should be added to the graph.
