Default Re: Guide to Marverni

From what I understand the AI does several theoretical test castings of a spell and sees how many hitpoints damage are caused for a given spell against a given target. Farstrike is largely mitigated by armor, so if you have several mages behind heavy infantry blockers the mages will exclusively be targeted. For gifts from heaven you have to consider the accuracy as well as the number of units affected. If you've got a clump of 10 hitpoint humans which over several theoretical tries the AI usually manages to mostly hit vs a moderate hitpoint leader that the gifts tend to miss then the AI will target the infantry. If you've got a 150 hitpoint tartarian though....
