n+3 meaning an extra 3 hours over the multiple of 24. Keeps turn creep from killing someone who plays after work.
Comfortzone was difficult research and it worked well. Ask in Sombre's forum about very difficult research games, they have a few going over there.

I think gem gens break large games. I would keep them out, otherwise you can take all of someones provinces (except one very heavily domed/defended castle) and not affect their gem income at all. This is bad for finishing games.
Small games they can be fine, since those tend to end much more quickly anyway. I would definitely have EDM for a big game otherwise it will just be tarts. a jam of them, if you will.
