Casting "quicken self"

That's really odd. I have lots of S1 Ktonian Necromancers, and they never override my orders to cast battle magic in favor of Astral Shield. Maybe it's something about the Tarrasque "knowing" it's a melee unit.

I wonder if the prioritization algorithm includes path levels of the caster? After all a s10 w1 unit must know deep in his heart that he has a much stronger affinity for astral magic. Maybe he wouldn't override the order if he were s3w2?

BTW - How the heck does one get a s10 tarrasque?

My pretender did something similar to me recently, paths were E2 S10, I teleported on top of a army consisting of mostly magical units and scripted Arcane Domination, Returning, equipped with 20S gems.

So what happened? He cast Astral shield, returning...doh.

Its all very, very annoying...especially as it makes absolutely no sense at all why it would happen.

My golems scripted to Astral Tempest, Body Etheral, Personal Luck, Resist Magic, Astral shield, cast spells always work 100%.
