Really? Because bigger maps mean more gems period. Gemgens would be drops of water in an ocean.

Bigger maps mean longer games, longer games mean more time to accumulate gem gens. Moreover, due to the way gem gens subsidize gem gen production there's a bit of a curve to rate of production, which quickly leads to site income being largely irrelevant. When you have 200 clams, whatever astral you might pick up from your provinces doesn't really matter that much.
