Default Re: Aaargh the AI!

Maybe it was stupid, maybe it was not - either I didn't make myself clear enough, or you left out the fact that the mages where there all alone in the back of the army:
The mage was casting "berserkers" at maximum range (1) .. maybe he just missed the neighbouring square ... . On the other hand, we all know the tendency of mage commanders to cast all those nifty boost spells on themselves first ...

Btw., go through the spell list - which other spells are there the Shaman could have cast, other then eagle eye? Keep in mind, the target must be in range, what often is not the case at the start of battle!
