Default Re: Why Don\'t My Mages Cast the Spells I Tell Them

Sometimes I think that the RPGers have an advantage in Dominions over the strict strategy-game people. Maybe not in winning, but in our stress levels. When something happens in the game that I dont like I role-play it out in some sort of logic and continue on.

incorrect battle reports:
"Stupid followers are too afraid of me to report correctly"

mage wont follow script:
"I keep that idiot on a far flank or use him to test province defenses"

troops get inflictions:
"these guys have earned a retirement adding to the PD of this province now that Ive recruited replacements for them

I do a pretty good storyline AAR in my head. If only I wasnt so lazy to type it out.
