Aside from being able to hit ethereal targets - and my own experiences have always suggested that missile attacks hit ethereal targets anyway for some reason - what's the difference between a magic and normal attack? Not that I can change it anyway.

I think you're getting lucky with the multilaunchers. 10 of them will roll over independents, absolutely, but 500 gold worth of anything will generally roll over independents. Then again, you're talking about spread - I think sheer statistical grouping makes them not look so 'wild' - there's just so many arrows, they look like they're together.

I've never seen anything shoot backwards, no matter how bad its aim.

The cost of the priest is because the second they give me the command to do it, I'm going to give iron preachers vastly increased leadership, and lower the leadership of the mages. The priests are supposed to be your only real commanders, I just don't have the tools to code that yet.
