View Poll Results: Is clam-spamming too powerful?
Yes, always, the astral gems are too damn good, especailly at the current price! 4 4.55%
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%

Slave Mages do have a shot at 1N but it's one chance of 4 possibilities from their random pick. If they do get 1N from their random pick, they will still need a +1 water item or empowerment to be able to make clams in the stock game.
This is a rather negligible difficulty, barring extreme misfortune in randoms.
While not exactly difficult it's not negligible either. It's 1 in 4 of a random pick and then you still need to also get +1W on top of that 1N as they only have 2W. And I've had it up to 10 slave mages in a game with zero N before.

And I wanted to place more stress on the fact that you have to pay even more gems upfront to get clammers rather than any actual difficulty.
