Most of your observations seem to gibe closely with mine. But this one, I am quite positive that the AI flip-flops the layout occasionally. I've noticed this especially in regards to their cavalry placement, sometimes they flank left, other times they flank right. |

Re: Low Cost Tactics
Battle placement is up field and down field. Not left and right flank. If you place units at the top of the screen, they will be at the top regardless of being the defender or the attacker.

That's too drastic a modification, I am afraid |

I'm pretty sure they do flip.

It's still 5 gems for something that will only help you if your Nature-and-some-element mage spends several turns summoning creatures that aren't very good even at a lower price. Dragon Master only affects summoning spells for Cave, Fire and Frost Drakes and Wyverns, not Tarrasques, Iron Dragons or any other "dragon" summons. |

Re: Low Cost Tactics
They don't flip. Top is always top and it is left when you attack and right when you defend. But the distance from the enemy is always the distance from the right side of the placement box. Yes, it's a bit weird.
