Guest | In my map, the sorceresses belonging to computer players will cast slow on the enemy, but not polymorph. They do have the spell and they do have enough mana to cast it, but they wont do it even on wimpy skeletons. Ive seen neutral hostile wizards in melee maps use polymorph. I havent tested it but I suppose this means that the priests will cast heal but not inner fire. Is there any way to get these casters to do spells other than their first one, preferably without making them neutral hostile? |

You could try removing Slow. =) But that aside, I assume that you'd have to edit the computer's AI, because it's that AI that tells it that slow's more useful than polymorph. BTW, the dark wizards in stromguarde (which I assume are the ones that you see doing polymorph) has raise dead too, which obviously isn't useful at the start of the battle... |

Guest | It may also be that since Polymorph/Inner Fire required two upgrades, that you need to pre-research it for the computer so they could use the spell. If it's not researched, they can't use it unless you give them the neutral hostile ability. |

Guest | Yeah those dark wizards in Stormguarde are the ones I was thinking of, nasty guys. Actually I pre-researched it AND gave them the neutral hostile ability :) Anyways I did some more testing and they DO use polymorph, but it seems that they dont want to waste it against smaller units like skeletons. They will use it on abominations. Also I think they only use it if they have full mana. |
