Re: Why Don\'t My Mages Cast the Spells I Tell Them
You are a God (in training).
You give them suggestions. If they dont follow them, then kill them.
Actually thats what it amounts to. Your instructions can be overridden if they
A) cant see who you wanted them to attack
B) seem to know that the enemy is fairly resistant
C) dont have the necessary ingredients (gems/slaves)
D) feel that would be otherwise wasteful
They dont always make GOOD decisions but you should check things like that first. Did you block their view with other troops, or forget to give them gems?
Also, unfortunetly, they might decide that the spell you had them do was not a very good idea but that doesnt mean they will pick a better one. They seem to go from "not too good" and drop to the bottom of their list which means sometimes they seem pretty stupid.
