Script several mages to cast same spell in combat?
 

Is there a shortcut for scripting mages to all cast same combat spells? Like if you have 20 dwarven smiths in castle being attacked and want them all to cast summon earth then 4 magma bolts?

Yes.

Enter the spells you want to cast on one of the dwarven smiths, bring the mouse over that dwarven smith's sequence list, and type <ctrl> #. Then bring the mouse over the 2d dwarven smith's action sequence and type #, you will have duplicated the script.

You have to move the mouse pointer on the line where the scripted orders are displayed.

Ctrl + 1-9 to copy
1-9 to paste

Or, if you have an azerty keyboard or another keyboard for which you have to press shift to type numbers :

Ctrl + Shift + 1-9 to copy
Shift + 1-9 to paste

The # of course refers to using a number on the keyboard. (just in case someone wasnt sure)

Yes. Make a script for one of your mages. Mouse over the script and press CTRL-<nbr> where nbr is 0-9. That will store the script in the appropriate number slot. Then mouse over the orders of a commander who doesn't have a script and press the number you want.

Thanks for the quick reply! My gorgon died in an enemy domain, So I am back to playing my staple Ulm today with ghost king pretender. My self imposed rule is if my god dies i lose the game if it against the computer.
