Thanks, Cherry! This is *SO* cool. I wish I'd known this weeks ago! It'll make my AAR write-ups a bit faster to do.

Too bad the grid makes the terrain disappear. I was expecting bright red/yellow/blue lines or some such overlaying the ground, instead of the an entirely different battle map.

This feature is definitely needed... hopefully available in one of the upcoming patches.

Arryn, if you want to keep the background use "G" instead of "W".

Well, I do not agree.

For one, this would exponentially increase the micromanagement from scripting mages.

For two, such absolute control would require a re-balancing of many spells.

Thanks! That's much better.

No, his strategy is to rely on his own mages casting spells as often as possible, such as the very useful raise skeletons/drain life/ raise skeletons/drain life combo that the AI is very good at doing.

Thank you, Graeme. I got so damn pissed when I read this comment by Arryn. I was going to explode in flammage until I read your comment.

POOF!

Isn't this what happens to your undead when they are confronted by semi-competent priests and mages?
