Legions of Steel - can someone explain me this?

[zzcat]

Legion of steel has range 10, so the bandars may be out of range at the third turn.

The real problem is why AI cast LoS on archers. As we know LoS is totally useless vs unarmored unit. IMO AI should only cast a spell when at least a valid target is found. IIRC AI will try to find archers before they cast wind guide, and if no archer in the BF, the command will be ignored. Obviously the procedure is omited in LoS script

Yep, casting on the further forward reachable units should be a must for this kind of spells IMHO...

the problem i find with sending in a mage in the front line is that you won't always catch ALL the bandar (especially with larger groups), if however you mix in a number of markata you are likely to have the spell shot onto you're bandar until all/most are hit with the spell provided you script it to be cast a few times, with a single mage the spell will stop being spalshed over you're bandars as soon as the mage gets the buff.
