Phoenix Pyre, ARGH!
I'm playing with the Dragons mod, it's got some F3 dragons. I had a group of them scripted for Phoenix Power, Fire Shield, Cast Spells.
This had been working quite well. They would spend a couple of rounds buffing themselves and then start dropping various nastiness on the enemy.
I had deliberately left them in a group so the attackers wouldn't spread out. They're tough enough arrow fire wasn't a big deal.
Anyway, this battle several of them cast Phoenix Pyre. I was facing an enemy pretender, he managed to nail one of those with a spell.
Given the amount of damage they had rained on the enemy (2/3 of the enemy units were already dead) my guys were of course at pretty high fatigue. The pretender's spell got through--kablooie, 80% of my army goes up in a big blast of fire!
I think this spell needs to be scripted-only! Had they done what they were supposed to I would have lost only a couple.
