Mass flight bug - wrong script processing

[Jazzepi]

This has been pretty frustrating for me.

I've had the exact same problem. Arrow fend instead of mass flight, especially in castles.

Personally I think any castle battle where you're storming should give a boost to mass flight.

Probably more effective to clamp down the abusive boost to Arrow Fend. Other wise you'll wind up storming a castle planning on Storm + Wrathful Skies and having your Storm overridden by Mass Flight because of the boost.

In other words, I'd much rather have the scripted behavior win, unless it just can't work, than try to tweak the AI to make better choices when it goes off script.

The simplest solution to all these problems may simply be to boost the favspell bonus. I wonder what the debug logs look like when the script includes spells that are useless (no valid target or no target in range) or battles that aren't worth wasting gems for.
