Re: Spell Targeting
I just wish my mages would loose their obsession with Legions of Steel...
god i hate that spell. I'm sure some nations find it quite handy, but for Agartha, I would MUCH rather kill a bunch of annoying little chaff units with a bladewind or two than add a few lousy points of protection to my already plenty durable Ancients.
Nothing rages me in this game like watching my mage knock himself out casting Legions of Steel over and over while a horde of barbarians charges into melee range unscathed. (yeah, i can usually keep them off the LoS until round 6, which helps the battle situation, but not my rage, because they invariably insist on wasting rounds 6-8 making darn sure EVERY unit on the screen is good and LoS'd)
At this point I have an utterly irrational loathing of that spell, to the point where I have considered modding it out of existance for my SP games. grr! rargh!!! hiss.
I really really want a "the following spells are an abomination before god, and shall not be cast by any mage in his service" list where people could "blacklist" spells that they disliked for either thematic or strategic reasons, without blocking their availability to other nations/players.
Sorry about the somewhat off topic rant here, but it seemed kinda-sorta related, and, well, I also wanted to vent at Mr Smarty Wizard a bit...
