Random move armies and casting sequence

[MaxWilson]

It would be interesting if the initiative system were more flexible and random. Not likely to happen in a patch, though.

Clarification on casting order:

1) Casting order in battle is based on unique ID (UID), which is separate from monster ID (MID) such as 862 Vampire Queen

2) Casting order for ritual magic is random.

I guess veto wanted to say that when action order is determined by some ID (which nothing at all in the game mechanics should me dependent by, IMO), it is much worse and inflexible than if it was determined by player. ID-based order will be perfect in this case as defalt one for those who don't like all that micro.

I think it's supposed to be conceptually a random order. The fact that we worked out that the "randomness" is actually just the unit ID just shows why you can never trust a pseudorandom number generator.

This is basically what Dominions does, IMHO.
