well the idea was to scout if you had spend insane amouts of cash on PD there too... which you did.

THe other idea was to
cast mistform (which they did)
then cast a few thunderstrikes (which they did) to kill the lonely troop that was there (if you didn't have PD)

and after 3-5 rounds before your troops could reach them (which they didn't in that time) RETREAT (which they didn't, DAMMIT) the last round, with your troops all around him.. he cast RESIST POISON...

WTF RESIST POISON???

The more often I think about this, I think you're the victim of the AI.

I was just reading the FAQ forum, and it says that the AI will ignore scripted commands if, for example, it thinks them wasteful.

The example they give is that if there's a spell, particularly one that uses gems, that can only target a weak target (according to the scripted command) then it'll do something else. Agree, however, that casting resist poison instead wasn't the AI's finest moment, but definitely funny!

Couldn't you have just used a scout to figure out my PD?

And I take it there's no way to arrange your PD - they tend to just make a big blob in the middle which hinders their effectiveness...

Well if it was weakly defended 2 galdermen should've conquered it.. that was the idea (I mean they killed at least 20 persons in PD.. not just scouting
