I don't mean lacking from the game. I mean when my Sovereign decides to annihilate some weakling with a fireball and does 0 damage with a Miss.
The ability to use magic is what separates your Sovereign from the unwashed masses, right? It's the reason he's ruling a nation instead of plowing a field somewhere. He can raise land out of the sea, cause floods and earthquakes, summon giants out of nothingness, has an Intelligence of 30... but he can't kill a 7 HP spider with a fireball.
Is this annoying to anyone else? Direct damage magic in combat seems way underpowered. Am I using the wrong spells? Do some of them have a higher chance to hit? What affects the chance to hit anyway? It seems like a high defense on the opponent leads to more spell misses, but is there any way to counter that?
