AI spell casting priorities

I personally think all spells which require gems (other than blood spells) should be 'script only'. The only problem there is the AI nations obviously wouldn't cast any combat spells requiring gems, which is a pretty big problem I admit.

Oh, that would be *so* nice! Then you could actually give your Antimagic caster 3 pearls when he is supposed to storm a castle, and he'd actually cast it in three battles (magic/break siege/storm), instead of blowing all the pearls in the magic battle phase.

Armies of the AI nations could be allowed to use gems unscripted -- the game knows which nations are AI and which are human.

I don't know if it's that easy, allowing the AI to use gems unscripted. AI nations currently use the same battle casting AI as humans I believe.

It just needs to set/track/compare a flag indicating whether the nation is controlled by human or AI.

If the nation is human, and spell fatigue is over 100 and it's not favspell, set score to zero.
