Monthly site searching

Micromanagement is always better: up until the point you quit the game in disgust because you can't deal with it.

I've noticed this when I have a bunch of casters doing remote site searching.

Say I have 12 earth gems and a monthly income of 6 earth gems. I have 5 casters casting Gnome Lore (costs 2 earth each). Next turn only 1 of the 5 casters will still have the monthly ritual of Gnome Lore still active; the rest will be defending.

The reason for this (near as I can tell) is because the 5 casters perform their rituals (12 earth gems get reduced to 2) and then the game sees that I only have enough gems to support a single caster. THEN I get my gem income of 6 (bringing me up to 8 earth gems). As such, I would have to manually re-assign 3 of my 4 unoccupied casters to cast Gnome Lore once again... and repeat each turn hereafter.
