1>How are the 5 (10 w/ ring) body guards selected during an assassination attempt? Are the ones furthest to left chosen first or is it random or...?

2>If a Lamia Queen is killed with Twiceborn on does she revert to her snake form before Twiceborn occurs?

3>If a commander has a cursed werewolf amulet on and is then given the pebble skin suit which transformation would prevail or would the commander be transforming back and forth between troll & werewolf during the game?

4>Given the huge gold dependency AI nations have from the upkeep on all their hired chaff and it's limited summoned units shouldn't AI nations completely avoid casting Utterdark at all (aside from Ermor)? When AI nations cast Eyes of God does it help them at all or is it just throwing it's gems away?

1) I believe it's from left to right, but not 100% positive.

2) The safe way to guarantee the lamia queen gets the twiceborn to work is first have her 'change shape' outside of battle, then cast twiceborn. In this new form her magic might be weaker so she might need a ring of sorcery to cast the twiceborn.

3) Not sure... I believe it would keep switching back and forth, but the troll armor takes a long time before changing a shape.

4) Eyes of God... does very little for the AI. It only allows it to catch stealthy units more often. Ideally the AI should never cast this spell especially since a counter spell exists to cause the caster to go blind.
