This has come up on the discussion boards before... The AI is insanely bad at choosing targets for Berserkers/Touch of Madness, often casting it on your own archers or even mages, where it is actively harmful.
I continue to wish those spells were shifted into "only if scripted" status, as I believe is the case for Breath of Winter.
I wish the range of the spell would be halved. Right now, it's much too hard to
make sure the right squad gets targeted. Yes, an AI fix would be great, but I
would not hold my breath - a lot of bugs and quirks are way more important.
