SC's usually have only one weakness. So there is only one spell that will work on them. And the computer is too dumb to know this.

Now, I'm of the opinion that the 'sitting in the back 5 turns' technique is widely underestimated, but that analysis is pretty flawed.

First off, there are very good reasons 10 hp commanders are almost never SCs, any significant battle and they are likely to run into a bit of bad luck and die.

Also, almost any SC has a number of weaknesses (though MR is usually the easiest to go for). Getting all elemental resists plus high mr and everything else a SC needs is almost impossible. Further, while there are usually better ways of going about it, but you can order your mages to move forward for a few turns before casting.

... however, if your point is SCs in SP are ridiculous I have to agree. Changing human scripting options doesn't change that though.
