my mages cast crap spells?
what's with the summon lesser fire elemental spam? I am playing as EA Abysia in a SP game vs a mix of mighty and impossible AIs, and I back up my armies with 4-5 annointed of rhuax stacked wtih fire gems. I researched to evocation 9, and was fairly satisfied with my mages' ability to wreck an army. I then researched into conjuration to allow my mages to pheonix fire and cast fire storm, or flame storm. However as soon as I researched conjuration all they do is quickly blow all their gems chain summoning lesser fire elementals. I can't imagine why I'd ever want to spend a gem on a lesser fire elemental instead of a fire storm, especially when my armies are immune to fire! In most battles I'd rather they cast the free spells such as falling fires, fire pillar, fire cloud, then summon lesser fire elemental.
My question is am I screwed? Can I get them to stop without scripting out spells for them? I can only script so many spells anyway. Do I have to resort to forgoing firestorm and flamestorm by not giving my commanders fire gems?
