Returning script ignored. Bug?

[Xietor]

I am playing pythium in Fallacy. my mages have 8 hps. They have never failed to successfully cast returning this game for me, except once.

When i put in a large pd and the attacking force was small.

I've had the same problem, except that I had a seraph with a sickle and was attacked by shadow seers casting magic duel. This one is completely deterministic. I tried it in SP a dozen of times and the seraph never cast returning (always personal luck), when attacked by a group of 3-4 shadow seers. The same goes for golem, but not for a lowly guru mage, who did cast returning. I thought that it had something to do with the fact that shadow seers are stealthy, but maybe that's not true. I also tried it with gurus instead of shadow seers on the attacker side and both seraph and golem cast returning in this case, so I don't think it's related just to hit points. I tried it even with a scout empowered to 2S and again no returning from seraph or golem. I didn't look into the logs though.

My solution in MP was to always script phoenix pyre as the first spell for seraph, but my golems mostly became obsolete.

Anyway, I agree that this spell should never be overridden with another spell if it is scripted.

Well look at it from the Ai's perspective.

Why in the world would a serpah run from anything? Of course the Ai is not attuned to look at spells that instant kill.
