Too many mages?
[Playing SP, vanilla, normal gem settings.]
There is no way I can produce nearly enough gems for the mages I can build.
I own the larger part of the map, and have fully site searched. Say I can produce 5+ mages per turn. I'd like to equip each one a tiny bit, and give them some gems to play with. (Not to mention whatever rituals I might wish to cast in a turn, and I can never afford Empowerment.) I have something like 25 nature & 25 death gem income. (And if, say, I decide each new mage should spend a couple turns forging himself some things, next turn I have yet more new mages arriving.)
Consequently, I tend to prefer building troops over mages, whereas I think you guys usually prioritize mages, I read about pumping them out each turn.
Am I missing something? Should I just be settling for pumping out base mages with no gems/items? If you have limited gems, would you prefer to send out a mage with 5 actual gems or with a 5-gem-forgery (I know that one will be a "depends", but is there any general pereference)?
