Useful feature or smoother gameplay. Its a tough balance, but I think this and many other micromanagement sinks could be plugged safely. Winning by overtaxing someone's available free time or even by powering through something really boring just to squeeze out an advantage, should be reserved for the hardcore audience only.

I propose a solution. Add a settings option for "normal" gameplay or "hardcore" gameplay. Hardcore will let you spend hours fiddling with gems.

Also, I would rather not give the AI access to my gem vaults. I like being able to control just how many gems it can choose to spend.

Yes thats a valid concern. With a fix like this, the AI should never be allowed to use your gems, unless you have scripted it to do so.
