Two black widows against my army, the one tried to web my spearmen. The other beguiled my Panca Archers. They were still able to shoot at the spiders and cause damage.
Maybe if they changed beguile to affect any kind of unit? Or just change it to possession of the unit?
I agree the units attack ranged units seems silly. I'm also excited that Stardock has fixed much of the AI tags and it allowed me to successfully test out this little change to the beguile spell. This should tell the spiders not to attack ranged units and still maintain the same AI tag of beguiling units with more than 10 HP. I wonder if this will fix the problem

The bolded part is what I changed to get the functionality that I wanted. If the tactical range is 2 or more then the calculation of the current hitpoints will be negative thus the target is not worthy of beguiling. So far my tests have concluded that the spiders do not target ranged units.
Nice! Could you make it where the spiders can web/beguile and then move in the same turn? That would make them pretty scary! 
I would like to see the move then spell with the AI, but that is not in my ability to add to the game. That is something that Stardock would have to change, but I'm not sure they are going to add it, since that would probably be a lot of work on their part.
