Default Best way to get in range.

I am playing Tien Chi and I am being attacked by Caelum. (EA) He has an army of 40 or so Spellcasters who all fly and power up and cast thunder strike. The backbone of his army is about 10 Eagle Kings which I notice are magical beings....

I notice the nice little spell that Tien Chi has called Celestial Chastisement. Allows me to either harm (if they pass mr roll) or takeover magic beings (if they fail the roll) problem is that it only has a range of 15. And he puts the eagle kings in the back rank.

How do I get a few celestial masters to move forward with the troops to get in range? and how many attack orders would it take? Normally I would have to worry about the celestial masters flying in and getting wiped with an attack order, but he always has a storm going. So they would just run forward a little.

I would have to script air shield (he has archers accompanying him), Lightning immunity, attack, attack, then celestial chastisement. Of course after that I am assuming the combat ai would then cast buffs instead of the celestial chastisement. grrrr.

If I manange to get an eagle king with this spell would it be a troop or would it stay a commander?

Is there another long range spell that just targets magic beings that I could use on the battlefield to snipe his eagle kings?
