1.07 ai actually used magic against me now?

Some minor improvements to AI at least. I didn't have much time to play tonight, but when I was fighting the Umber leader he actually got in close and used the one of the ice spells a few times on my troops. I was rather shocked to see him actually cast a spell. I thumped him for it but still good show!

Yeah, someone used a spell on me too. I was shocked. I think instead of using end turn all of the time to make the units come to me to wack them i'll only use that method some of the time now!

Same here, one of my very first games an enemy Sovereign killed my Sovereign with ONE spell. 

So, as far as I can tell, they've always cast spells. 

Hmmm, now that I think on it.. maybe it was one of the golems that cast that weird rocks falling from the sky thing.

Ive seen them cast summons, but never saw one actually cast spells in tac combat. Then again I don't usually let them live out the first round, but he attacked me.

I've been hit with spells since 1.00 as well.

Guess why as soon as I have 5 mp to spare I cast "Protect Friend" my Sovereign and important heroes ;), it happened in my first game too...

does that work? i think i casted that spell on both hero and sov.. and tried to engage the vigilant spy thingy that does the arcane doom.

still died. or is that not a spell? (then again. that was in 1.05 i think)

I think protect friends just rises your def against spells, since the vigilant minion does "true damage" it bypasses def, full damage!

This is just a supposition...

Nothing is changed in v1.07 in regard to the "spellcasting AI" as I see.
