Default AI dispels?

OOC, has anyone ever seen an AI dispel a global enchantment (such as Foul Air)? Just curious as to whether I should bother with getting rid of it myself, as there are plenty of other AIs who the spell has got to be hurting worse (I have GoH up so it's not a major problem for me).

Default Re: AI dispels?

I've never seen the AI specifically dispel anything, although they will cast stuff even when the spell list is full, which can sometimes cause one or more random spells to be dispelled....

as well as creating odd random bugs where you can't cast a global enchantment even when there are empty slots. AIs are a pain about this.

I saw the AI cast Dispel against another AI's Burden of Time, after only one turn of doom.

However, later in the same game, it didn't help (or didn't succeed - I don't know if you get notified of unsuccessful Dispel attempts on enemy spells, or not), against Foul Air and Wrath of God. Though, maybe the one who dispelled earlier was the caster later.

Did it specifically dispel, or simply overwrite with another spell? I've seen the AI perform overwrites, but I've never had it explicitly attempt to dispel anything I've cast.

It specifically dispelled. There was only one global enchantment at the time, and after the dispel event, there were none.
