If you want water gems, you're likely going to have to find them, if your nation doesn't start with any base income in that area. If you want time, you're going to have to fight off your neighbors who want to take what you have. It's never as easy as it sounds.
For a clam hoarder to win against a non-hoarder, he only needs to fight his opponent to a stalemate while making clams in the background.

For a non-hoarder to win against a clam hoarder, he needs to conquer his opponent's provinces and he needs to do it quickly before the hoarder's gem income becomes overwhelming. Fighting your opponent to a standstill actually means you are losing ground.

"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else -- if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."

"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"
