Yeah, thanks. And regarding the first question, is it even worth trying, or are there any solutions?
If you need this to work for a human player, do as recommended. Take a hero and change their class from "Barbarian" to something else in Shared. Then remove the class skill and replace it with Blood Fury. It might actually work. But I don't think so.
As for AI… I believe that simply giving a Barbarian spells will make them use them. I’m not sure, but it seems like someone did some research on this topic with such results.
Unfortunately, the links no longer work (sniffle-sniffle).
