It is not really open to debate. If the developer says it is a major bug and is on the short list to be fixed-it is a major bug.

While you may agree or disagree with whether or not it SHOULD be fixed, I do not think you can argue that it is not a bug when the developers say it is.

As an aside, what is so wrong with sacrificing a mage to take out an enemy army? Sure you lose the mage, but if he kills more than the cost of the mage, the battlefield spells are still worth it.

In one of my mp games I use mages to cast foul vapors and left them on the field of battle until they died. It is still worth it when you cripple a big army and only lose a few mages.

People wanting to kill a whole army and not even risk the mage casting the spell seems like a bit much.
