Default Re: Reasons why the computer will not cast the spells you script

Yes.

I wonder how the "doesnt merit it" is calculated. In the example in my original strat, I was storming a castle in which the enemy's pretender was sitting, a Titan surrounded by a few ( but only a few) beefy units. It seems the computer calculates numbers, not power. I had tons of gems, I really wanted to make sure nothing got screwed up -- and I *think* that because flaming arrow, antimagic, wind guide, arrow fend (I think it was a hill fortress and there wwere tons of javs coming at me) were not cast as I had scripted I got hurt badly (many troops but also prophet and 1 other nice general died) when I should have taken only minimal cannon fodder losses. Kind of dissapointed in that, it really makes me think: ah, great planning here by me muhahah -- argh but what for!?
