[BUG][0.983] PERSISTENT AND MAJOR: Auto-resolve use of spells and special abilities

from Elemental Forums

Despite the efforts to fix it in 0.983, the bug which prevents AI and Monsters to use special abilities when auto-resolving battles seems to persist!

Specifically, this bug can be seen with the dark wizard's despair spell and also poison damage (see thread https://forums.elementalgame.com/433518)

For the AI players this is a huge imbalancer since AI gets real strong when using combat and much weaker when using magic

For the player it provides a major cheat option and delivers a critical hit on gameplay, immersion and battle resolution.

PLEASE go deep into this and make sure it gets fully resolved before final release...

It's on our list.  983 fixed offensive spells.  We'll be adding the special abilities up next.

Brad, is the Dark Wizard's Despair spell an offensive spell? If so, then your statement above about 983 fixing offensive spells does not hold true... if it is considered a special ability, then OK...

I think he probably means they fixed direct damage spells.
