if only i could get a commander scripted like that as man. (tons of charmers with rune smasher+spell focus wipeing out commanders)

It was Attack Commanders or Fire Commanders, not Cast at Commanders! IIRC, even Dom:PPP had no targeting of spells.

This is known for quite some time: "Fire/Attack Commanders" was removed from the code early in the development process of Dom2 - yes, a big part of it's code comes from Dom1.

But this option was only removed for the player

So, you are saying this loophole has been known for some time and not closed? That seems rather stupid to me... Or did you mean that you and others knew the order existed on a Hell bind heart victim, but didn't tell the programmers? or that everyone knew that they existed for AI's 'and/but not' exploitable by obtaining that hero?

I'm curious to which version is accurrate.

IW has known about it for some time, my guess is they thought it wasn't a big deal which from my experience it isn't.

This is the type of thing that can really wreck a fun game if exploited. So, I view it as more of a deal. I am glad I know, and am able to make a house rule for it.

Interesting! I guess YMMV.

Bring back the attack magic users command! Its always bugged me that mages can cast till they pass out in near-perfect security without bodyguards, equipment or buffs.

I would prefer changing Attack Rear to actually attack the rearmost more often.

Having archers able to Fire at Mages was too much. Even having Call of the Winds-hawks decimate mages was too much. The only way I would allow mages to be targetable would be by commanders, and even that is WITHOUT taking SCs to account. It would be like more specialized version of Attack Rear, in a similar vein that commander (and only commanders) can Fire Rear.
