Serpent's Blessing

[Psycho]

I don't think people are getting the point here. It's not about being attacked by a pack of black hawks. Instead of a spell that gives you BE poison resistance and costs one gem, AI choses another spell that gives AoE 15 poison resistance and also costs one gem.

ok Psycho, what you describe is evil. I hope this gets fixed.

I didn't describe it, Jazzepi did.

I had a similar thing, though. My Pan scripted to cast mass protection refuses to so, because the opponent is not enough of a threat. Instead he casts wooden warriors which doesn't require gems and does so several times. On third or fourth casting he uses up the gem he had for reducing fatigue. The effect is that the gem is still used up, but not all maenads are affected by barkskin.

Well Jazzepi and Psycho. Now I understand your point better.
Its not just that the AI overrides your script, its that AI chooses to do so for a clearly inferior alternative. This is very distinct from the returning issue ano has described in his thread. Since in the returning case its arguable whether the AIs decision to override is inferior or not (depending on situation). However choosing to cast a limited version of scripted spell (effect units instead global) is clearly wrong esp. if the limited version costs the same amount of gems as the global.

I can only hope devs will be aware of this and maybe, hopefully provide a fix.
