Re: Fire mages casting Rage on Umbrals
 

The AI seems to think that low fatigue spells are going to be better choices than high fatigue spells. So it casts banishment on single MR 26 undead for an entire battle to no effect rather than casting thunderstrike twice and killing the SC.

would be interested in seeing the log on that. are you sure there are no range/precisions questions?

Re: Fire mages casting Rage on Umbrals
 

Logs show some of that. Here is a short bit of one...
I think that was on the lowest log setting. Setting it higher might give more info.

If you add a -d or -dd to the line that calls dom3.exe on the icon that starts the game for you then it will keep debugging logs.

Re: Fire mages casting Rage on Umbrals
 

For what it's worth, on a subsequent turn I did eventually see what I believe was Rage taking effect on an Umbral. An Umbral turned around and started attacking another Umbral, which certainly seems like Rage in action. While there was no icon or status indicator that I could see, I can't think of anything else that would have caused it.

It's possible that Rage had worked other times as well without me noticing it. I figure that if an enemy is affected by Rage, and that enemy is a larger unit type that is pressed against your front lines and adjacent only to your troops, then I imagine that even with Rage he'll still be attacking your troops anyway. Which makes the spell often a wasted cast even if it does take effect.

But anyway, at least now I know Umbrals are not immune.
