Re: Magic gems, magic duel and returning
As you say, the only solution with the current game code is to give your mage enough gems that he won't run out even if he goes nuts with fatigue reduction gems.
And even if you give him enough gems, you can still get into trouble. If the opposing army only has 3 leaders, and they are all astral mages, you can rout the opposing forces. If the enemy is routing, gem usage can get turned off, so you: teleport in, fire off your magic duels, and now your immobile god (for example) is stuck in an enemy province with no way out, until you build a lab or the enemy attacks so you can actually cast returning.
It would be really nice if the combat scripting menu had just one more command, "Always cast a specific spell" And then no matter what happens: assassination, scout discovered in province, army attacks, your side routs, the enemy routs; if that action slot is hit and your mage has enough gems, he casts the spell.
I see what you mean about conserving gems so that the first 5 scripted spells can be cast, that would be nice too.
