Tactics: How can I use my Commanders and my Pretender efficiently in Battle?

[Wauthan]

1. By choosing "Cast specific spell" you can command your leader to use your selection of spells. Only for a max of the first five rounds though. However if the spell doesn't have a valid target, like say a fireball with no enemy in range, the computer will try to use a spell it feels appropriate. Range can be solved by making the commander "attack one turn" once or twice before casting spells.

2. I'm sure you noticed that the scripts are split between round specific and general. Order your pretender god to cast for two rounds or choose the specific spells to cast and then command it to attack closest. She will powerup and then stomp the enemies.

3. No overall tip here but I usually use a "pointman" squad that stands on the top corner frontline on hold and attack. The cavalery is then placed on the downwards flank a bit back from the front on attack archers. With a bit of luck the enemy will move towards the top and the cavalery can gallop past without getting into range of the enemy infantery.
