Snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory

I was storming the last castle of one of my opponents. I had a rather powerful
arch-devil, a warlock loaded and scripted for hellbind heart and a few commanders
ready to pick up any items that may still be around. It seems that my opponent
was running out of gold or food, because all I found inside the castle was
a dwarven smith with a random in nature.

I'm intrigued... How the expert smith will defeat overwhelming forces this time?

Turns one-three - the smith buffs. My warlock decides that the opposition is
not worth a hellbind, so he casts buffs. Everyone else is scripted to wait, to
give the warlock time to roll against his targets' magic resistance.

Turn four - the smith casts swarm. The warlock decides that, all of a sudden,
the level four arch-devil is in danger of being point-blank anihilated by the
terrifying dragonflies. He casts 'Summon Imp'.

Turn five - the imps rout. My whole squad routs. Oop-tee-doo-dah.

And yet another point for the expert smith

to cast Rain of Stones, and kill a hundred Machaka slaves and a thousand golds
worth of mages from his retinue. Etc... Etc... Etc...

Or a Tartarian who is scripted to cast Rain of Stones, but decides against it just because I have few thousand gold worth of mages there. What does he think his buddy casted Fog Warriors for?
