IIRC, mages ordered to "Stay behind troops" cast spells but stop before they are unconscious. I can't verify this yet, as I don't have my Dom3 manual yet, but I seem to remember it being this way. "Stay behind troops" would also be a good enough command for mages who you don't want to cast spells , wouldn't it?
Mages on stay behind act the same as mages on casting spells, at least they cast and get unconscious. But the fatigue thing is not that important.


Today i noticed some other things that might be improved:

whirlwind spell description

First it would be nice if the type of the snatched commander would be shown so that its simpler to notice what you have lost. Second I'd like it if there it would say if the commander survived or not (Or can i assume that when a commander drops down in an other Province than the start he died?)

AI should build more Province defence

AI almost never has big province defences, and i think it might be worth something if the AI might build at least 20 or so. (I think you get lots of troops for just 200 gold)

AI should consider strong Province defences as dangerous

What i noticed is that the AI attacks provinces always with too less troops. Last game i was against Tien Chi and they wasted every turn about 100 units on a province with 100 defence. If the AI would notice the province defence and build corresponding armys (I did only have PD in that province) i think she (is AI feminine??) would be a lot better.

Friendly fire

I'd like an option to order your archers not to fire where own troops are in the adjacent square as in a lot of the littler battles my only losses are from friendly fire. (Especially funny is the friendly fire when your archers kill the units chasing routing enemys :/)
