Have you ever seen anyone forge, say, a weightless scale mail in Dom2? My guess would be no, since there is no need for what that item was intended as: a cheap way to give a mage some protection.
I'd rather not have to go through the massive micromanagement that would cause for the lack of truly effective protection that it would provide.

thing is if mages could be targetted they would all spend ages buffing themselves (luck, mist form, invunrability ect) even though i buff anyway and scripting them like this would require even more micro manegement

Not only that, but with a limited script, it makes it very difficult to buff, and cast more than a couple specific offensive spells.

i can't seem to get cntl-1 to work at all, what screen do you do it in? doesn't seem to work on the overland map, in the army select screen theres no way to select the commander.

sorry its a feature I haven't used in the past and I need more info on how it works (I can't get the quick tip to come up either)

Do you mean ctrl-1 as in the commander order's save/load functionality? If so, go to the army screen (t) and point at the order scripting for a commander, ie: Quickness, False Horror x4. While pointing at this script, press ctrl-1 to save it. To give those orders to another commander, point at that commander's script and press 1.

So I guess the "attack big monster" command doesn't work? Are mages automatically "smaller" than anything they summon?
