Default Re: General Tipps / Things not to do / Scripts

Sorry, even in this "all powerful, dont make me pissed" pretender god thing.. there is still free will. You can TELL your commanders "this is how I picture the first few rounds of combat going" but if they decide that its not the best thing to do then they will change it. Usually there is a reason. They dont have the gems they needed, or they had too many gems so another spell tempted them more. Or the target was out of range. Or another target was closer and more tempting. Or the target was on the battlefield but because of where they were they were unable to see the target.

By the way, on the gems thing. One tactic that alot of people start using is sending scouts along to hold the gems and blood slaves. They stay out of the combat and wont use those up. That way you can replenish just a couple of gems to your mages after each fight. It can also be a good idea to have them hold important equipment that you dont want lost in a battle.
