Why such a high price?

There's no way to directly control magic targeting, but (from what I've been told and have read about Dom I) the AI does seem much smarter about where to put the protection spells in Dom II as well as which ones to use.

No AI is perfect, but I've noticed it takes into account both vulnerability and value (i.e. those vulnerable but sacred flagellants would get a higher priority for missile protection than vulnerable but cheap militia).

I'm not sure about this, but it does seem that mages and priests also slightly favor troops in squads under their direct control. That Last might just be a misleading fluke, however.
