Is this normal spell-casting ai behavior ?

[Boron]

Yeah i have the same impression that the spellcasting Ai loves to spam troops .

Since the theurgs are so fragile i thought it would be a good idea to place them rearmost cause i thought pan has a few longbows too or similiar .

Still i feel a bit cheated that my about 25 theurgs did cast no single mind burn in a 50 turn battle ... .
Everyone buffed with body etheral , astral shield etc. after the 5 scripted spells but then continued to spam the horrors + phantom warriors .

So if i want to place a mage far behind and casting mainly artillery spells if the mage has either death or air i can forget this after the first 5 scripts anyways i fear
