People used to complain when AI didn't abandon scripts and wasted gems in underwhelming forces. Before the script override you could teleport in a single commander before you walked in a separeate army, thus depleting all the gems of the spellcasters before the main force arrive. This was a complaint from dom 1 that was remedied for dom 2.

I understand, but blood is specific in that it (almost) always requires "gems" to cast it. This kind of puts it at a disadvantage, since something like HH is not exactly Army of Lead to be considered a waste of gems. I don't know how plausible it would be to make the AI consider low level blood spells just like any other that don't require gems (something like low path requirement or the ones that only require 1 slave to be cast with respect to caster's level), but it would alleviate the problem in this case.

Yes, it was the capitol, so I guess the 25 PD is considered an overwhelming force. I might try it later with a single Skratti somwhere without any PD, but it might be that a regular commander still won't look too impressive in comparison to him.

Thanks to all for the replies.

Cheers,
