It may be possible Dominions_3 added more wishes...
Do you know what those are?

In Dom 2 you were able to wish for a certain type of gem as well, in which case you would get a large number of that type of gem (maybe 250) Which I thought was pure cheating. You could wish for astral gems and you end up with 150 more then what you used for the wish spell.

Hardly cheating when you need to research the spell and have someone able to cast it.

It is cheating. Once you get the wish spell you are essentially invincible. You can alternate between wishing for astral gems, and gold. Then you get a huge army in no time. It is way overpowered compared to the other 9th level spells.But get rid of the wishes ability to wish for astral gems, and then everything evens out.

Cheating? The spell may or may not be overpowered, but it is not "cheating". Having a large income of pearls and gold (at the cost of tying up one mage's time) does not make anyone invincible.

Wish DOES NOT give you more than 100 pearls! And EVEN THOSE have to be alchemized! It might've been different on DomII.

If you think wish gives people too many gems then try casting arcane nexus on a map with 10+ other players.
