What bug?
If you mean the AI not picking its skills at random, its designed that
way, so not a bug. I agree it's not ideal, but there you go. Until I can
work out how to make it a bit more scriptable, it's going to be hard to
tweek.

This would be really useful for me as well! Right now, I have two enemy sorcerers that turn people into animals through use of various skills. One skill set to transform units into random other forms would be so much better than seven skills, each of which can only do one transformation, and each of which is keyed to a different point so my sorcerer isn't just using the first skill over and over again. That AI bug could also do with a bit of work, but that's for another thread, ahaha.
