I encountered this quirk for the first time on a custom map when a Titan's Thunder spell dropped from a tomb.

Once, in a "hot seat" game, Armageddon's Blade appeared on one of the standard maps, although I don't remember where it came from. The opponent's reaction was priceless!))

Recently, I decided to test the Invisibility spell. Usually, everyone says that it's completely useless and doesn't work at all. I conducted an experiment: on a test map, there are two heroes: one with an army of 1 Azure Dragon and 500 peasants, and the other with an army of 100 Archdevils. Without Invisibility, the second hero will definitely attack the first, but when it's used, the enemy doesn't attack.

A save file is needed to show this happening, preferably with the map. As far as I know, Invisibility really doesn't affect the AI because it takes information about the strength of our army "directly." You also need to consider the factor of randomness and other parameters besides the army.

On the other hand, you can make Invisibility the most useful skill if you want. For example, create a situation where we need to force the AI to attack us. We have 1 Fire Elemental, 30 mana, and the Armageddon spell. The AI has 20 Pikemen. In this case, it won't attack us because it takes into account the one-shot potential of casting Armageddon. Accordingly, the only way to make it attack us is to cast Invisibility until we have less than 20 mana. =)

But how do you kill it after that? One way is to have Titan's Thunder, because the AI doesn't take it into account. ;)

And yes, instead of Invisibility, it could be Scouting Air/Earth, etc. It's a matter of taste.
