They aren't particularly impressive for level 9 spells though, when compared to what is available in other paths.

Major Fixes Needed:

1) Attacking Units are Auto-Killed when they are not able to retreat after X-turns. (40 or 50 turns)

---This really should be fixed so that attacking units are auto-retreated into neighboring provinces.

2) AI opponents should not be sending their pretender into the death match events. Also a better prize should be introduced for the death match event... most agree it's not worth sending a commander.

Check the thread subject. How would YOU solve the latter? And giving numbers for the first would help too...

The prize should have a base level prize of 10 gems of a random type. Also the prize should be increased based on the number of nations which participate... example= 50 gold prize per nation which attends.

Interesting. How about if it was also an entry fee. Each nation participating has to cough up 10 gems.

Are we trying to encourage people to participate, or make participation even LESS attractive?

On this one, if they'd just put the "Put Into Lab" option at the _TOP_ of the list it'd be a life saver, especially for those times you have a scholarship of mages researching and forging in one spot.
