No doubt about that! I'm rather referring to lower level spells...

Hmm, I should check that aim-spell, good hint, thanks!

I did not want to complain that much, but I just feel that a single high seraph will not deliver as much as I expected (as compared to 17 rear-attacking iceclads which cost the same amount of gold, as I usually do not care about resources but supplies). Maybe my main problem is that I'm lacking the understanding of range:

What does a range of, say, 25+ mean? 25 squares plus one square per extra path/gem? Does the range affect precision? Where do you place your mages then?

I think placing them among archers is a bad idea, as targeting enemy archers is one of my own favourite commands. So I place them a good way behing them. Maybe thats my problem why lightning always strikes invisible foe's...
