design LA Ermor (AI)

Im told there is a bug with #startspell altho I havent verified it.

Changing the troops would take a mod. I can add troops to the starting setup with map commands but I cant make changes.

I went with Ermor first because I wouldnt mind creatng a downloadable scenario where its a better idea for multiple human players to ally against the AI than to fight each other. It would be the only major challenge in the game.

Even worse by the way, I was going to add ally commands so that any other AIs you added to the game would automatically be allied with Ermor

Sounds like this would be a lot of fun.
I was teaching a friend of mine how to play via a pbem game and the only house rule was no direct player vs player combat until all of the ai players were defeated. Made for a very interesting game. I spent the first third of the game helping to keep him alive, and the 2nd third pummeling him with subversive spells and tributing nasty magic items to his last ai opponent.

Is there a map command to specify awake / dormant / imprisoned gods? I can't find a reference to it anywhere in the exe or the docs.

While I'm at it, #scale_order should be #scale_chaos.

Below are some of my notes that others might find helpful:

Scales: (-3 tips left, +3 tips right)
scale_unmagic -magic/drain
scale_unluck -luck/unluck
scale_death -growth/death
scale_cold -heat/cold
scale_lazy -prod/sloth
scale_chaos -order/chaos

Magic:
mag_priest
mag_earth
mag_air
mag_water
mag_fire
mag_blood
mag_death
mag_nature
mag_astral

No there is no command for dormant/imprisoned
