Obscure the mage

[Kaffa]

hi guys,
I didn't found answer in forum so I ask you:
"How work Obscure (A2) the mercenary mage?"
I've noted that in battle this mage is always hidden ! ...too much coward? ...his only usefulness is " search a magic site" and "research" ...ok is good!! but He don't cast a spells!!!
Advices for my situation?

thanks

When you move him, make sure that his order is "move" and not "sneak".

You can use Ctr+left click to force a normal move for stealthy units.

I'm sure
order was "move"....I've tried for three turns "move" and automatically in following turn show me "hide" (???)

the problem with stealth vs move is a common one for new players. Even worse for nations where the entire army is capable of it. This is one of the limericks from the limerick thread...
There once was a cocky guy
thought Pangaea would be fun to try
He amassed quite a force
and marched them all forth
but half stealthed and watched the rest die
