Can't you assassinate a clam-holder and take/destroy his clam?

Re: Gemgen alternative idea.
Not if you put them on a scout.
Wrath of God (?) can kill them, too, I think.

Re: Gemgen alternative idea.
I'm guessing no is the answer, but can commander units be modded so that they are forced into doing a specific order each turn? If so, then maybe gem generating units could be forced to patrol each turn, thereby making them very vunerable, and always a target for attack by simply attacking the province they are in.
Just a thought on this topic, although I personally have my doubts about the idea itself. Mainly due to negative income being a very managable thing, especially in the late game.

No, and that also brings up the issue of all those commanders sitting around with no orders mucking up the n key. |

Ah yes, the eternal question of what to do with mages once research is completed that doesn't involve pressing 'n' several hundred times every turn. |

Good plan.
- "Mages, all of you grab your staves and head northwards towards the battlefront".......
- "Sire, a messenger has just come fresh from the battlefront having ridden for two days to reach us. He reports that our Mages are causing much devastation to the enemies ranks"
- "Excellent".......
- "Sire Sire"
- "What is it?"
- "Some large monsters, presumably under the magical control of our enemy, have just arrived at the castle boundaries, and are breaking through the gates as I speak."
- "Send forth all the castle mages immediately to deal with these pests"
- "But Sire, you sent all our mages to the northern battlefront. There are none in the castle now"
- "Oh Arse"
