Two changes that I’d recommend:

1. commandGriffin
   • Have your griffins target the warlock first (as you are doing)
   • If there is no warlock, have them attack nearest, rather than defend
2. commandPaladin - As the comments state, don’t forget that your paladins can shield too
   • Test to see if the paladin can cast heal
     • heal lowest if can
   • otherwise, if paladin’s health is below a certain level
     • shield
   • none of the above are true
     • if enemy
     • attack nearest
