AI spell casting priorities

[Jazzepi]

If you're going to include barkskin, you might as well include Protection, Wooden Warriors, and Mass Protection.

I didn't go through Nature spells yet. Protection could be included, perhaps, but Abysia shouldn't have enough nature to cast Wooden Warriors or Mass Protection any way. Also, if Protection has lower priority than other spells the mage might cast (if it's just N1 random on an abysian mage), it probably won't be cast any way.

for astral you have light of the northern star quite high.. it cost a gem right? and it's not like that gem will be worth it most of the time (if it only gives +1 astral magic). IMHO light of the northern star should be one of the never cast unless scripted for powerfull casters that benefit from it in multiple paths)

Power of the Spheres and Light of the Northern Star are different. I think I didn't have PotS at all. Light of the Northern Star gives +1 Astral to everyone on the battlefield, and because it's battlefield enchantment it can only be cast once per battle, so even in the worst case a lone S3 mage wastes 1 gem to become an S4 mage.

Ahhaahahhahaa

Try telling that to sandman. His random nature mage there to cast relief for his abysian army cast mass protection out of nowhere. I don't think I should have to tell you what happened afterwards. Most of his mages had also cast the fire spell that makes them explode when they die, and he lost like 23 mages in one round of combat.

That Barkskin is mostly the case when fighting against Abysia, especially with Fire Storm up.

Just for that particular reason I never include ANY nature mages in my Abysian armies. So if anything should get fixed it is this.

Oh, also ironskin casting Eagle Kings...
