Default Re: Question about Mages and Gems

The AI must have a different set of perameters going when it comes to spewing out elementals like Pez, most of which never even make it to the front lines before the battle is over, and even when they do, often do more harm then good (in the case of fire and ice elementals especially).

I find I have to send a "gem bearer" along with my mages, and dole out the gems one at a time to keep the mages from going crazy and blowing their wad every battle.

Grrr, I wish there was an option to disable specific spells, preventing the mages from casting them at all, regardless of any scripting, or any wacky tactical notions the AI might get.
