Default Area of Effect = 1?

In the spell description for both Iron Warriors and Iron Will, (as well as several other buff spells) the manual says that the area of effect is 1. Does this really mean that the caster buffs a single unit each time he casts these spells? If so, doesn't that make those AoE 1 buff spells pretty useless? Or is there some trick to using them that I'm not aware of?

Also, what spells *are* good for buffing a large army? I'm trying out Pangaea, and I'm trying to figure out *some* use for those hordes of Maenads that I get for free. With 0 protection and only 10 hit points, they never Last for long, and they usually don't do much damage before they die. Should I stick high protection units (such as war minotaurs) out in front of the Maenad horde, or are the wild women pretty much a lost cause?
