I see. Well it would seem that a small flag near commanders script titled "Force casting" or "Disallow overwriting script" that defaults to false would satisfy all. Who he wants serpents blessing cast even when attacked by a pack of black hawks will be able to get what he wants. He may repent it when later attacked by a real army but then again its the player's decision.

Same goes for returning. Though as I said earlier for returning this would change the current balance somewhat. Since teleporting astral thugs would be virtually impossible to catch making them raiders on a level currently not in existence in the game.
