Default Flight.

How does this spell work. I keep scripting my Naga to cast it on himself, I put him away from other units so he has to cast it on himself and he won't. Just cast Air Shield instead. How do you make this spell work?

Here's another problem to ponder: units set on fire won't fly. I have this dragon, okay, so I set him to cast spells for four turns, and then leave him with "fire" orders (for his breath weapon). However, instead of flying over to enemies to breathe fire on them, he waddles over instead, and he's so slow at waddling that by the time he gets there, the battle is over.

The behavior of fire is a feature. Otherwise, the story goes, the unit would fly right up to the enemies, and get hit with melee weapons, which is not usually what you want. I find the current situation fairly satisfactory. Move the dragon toward the front, so he doesn't have so far to go to get into range. It's not like anyone is going to be able to hurt him in the first few turns

You can use "attack one turn" to get your unit to fly, but I find that this normally gets him right into melee and reduces his ability to use his breath weapon.

So I'm guessing you mean "doesn't work" as opposed to "th3 nutzzzz" or something. Ah, been playing to much Magic...

Yeah, but a waddling dragon is so ... demeaning!
