A bump for KO and his empty inbox

I hope this manages to be added in the next patch. It likely fulfills the requirements for patching (being in demand & easy to do).

+50% or +100% when alchemizing the gems seems fair.
A nice idea could be : include this ratio in the game settings, along with the magic site frequency and so on.

If alchemy is supposed to be a *process* of some kind... maybe we can make it more interesting by allowing you to use different combinations of gems.

So 10 earth gems gets you 1000 gold, but so does 4E4F, as does 1E1F1A1W1. Depending on which nations we wanted to help (Ulm comes to mind) we would set the combination accordingly.

Ooohhh, mysterious formulae could be fun. Such as converting Air+Fire to Water at a slightly better rate than normal, or perhaps Nature+Death to Earth, that sort of thing. And nothing too outrageous, just a bit better than 4-1 if you happen to have the right combinations.

Mysterious formulae is very good idea. Not sure whether it can be implemented under Alchemy command but it could be added as researchable spells as was already pointed out...
