I\'d like the opponent\'s gems.
After they're killed. This has been niggling on me since my newbish inception. Do gems somehow bond to the carrier and melt away when they croak? Why do the lower level magic items often survive combat if gems can't? Sure sure, routing gem carriers can keep their gems. But dead ones?
Perhaps I'm missing something.

Re: I\'d like the opponent\'s gems.
This seems like it would have the biggest impact on SP games, making beating the AI even easier (since the AI loves to cram lots of gems onto their mages).

ICurrently, when I lose, I usually don't give anyone my gems but if the invader were to receive them I would surely send them to someone else.

He doesn't mean from capturing the cap, he means when a mage carrying gems dies.

Re: I\'d like the opponent\'s gems.
It would be nice. But probably game-changing.
Nice and game-changing?

I would not call it game changing. Usualy in MP you burn all gems you have equipped very fas.

Re: I\'d like the opponent\'s gems.
Unless of course you catch one or more of the gem carrying scouts following around the defeated army. I once uncovered 5 such scouts (packing 30 gems each) after a particularly massive battle. My opponents loss of 150 gems brought a smile to my face. Imagine if I could have recovered all those gems for my own.  |

Re: I\'d like the opponent\'s gems.
or perhaps when gems fall on the ground they materialized into the the earth, air, or whatever, and the number of gems that are lost by a carrier adds to percentage of a random event in which to gain gems
