There goes 800 gold and 3 turns of building. Atleast the province isn't worth much (swamp) and makes a nice hydra barrier between me and Bandar.

OK, you get my vote for "least lucky Nation to date" based on that anecdote.

Sigh barbarian invasion next to my cap. Its not like I needed those resources or anything.

I think my favorite experience with absurd rolls on the RNG would be the time I was playing kailasa and sent 20 yaksha sacreds with a yaksha commander to take an indie province with 20 or so infantry and 6 archers. I was running a strong air bless (70% airshield) and that was the first thing I put up. Turn two a single arrow is fired that avoids the airshield and hits my commander for 6hp damage (out of 28). It then proceeds to give him the battle fright affliction and he promptly fails a morale check and runs away with the whole force =/

It is a funny thing. While events like that are terribly annoying at the time :mad:, I think they are also a large part of the game's charm. :)

Well, I've met Agartha's pretender Zend Kuh and for an guy whose been dead for several decades he seems like an OK dude. Although he did keep muttering something like "brains, brains" and trying to chew my face off, but I figure that's all part of the charm.

Agarthan mythology long predicted that from the Mountain Deeps, a new Force would rise, able to defeat Death itself, and that it would bring a new life to the crumbling, abandonned Halls.

I guess that Ermor was a bit too curious, and has just checked and confirmed the reality of the prophecy. :)

Ah, you cede the province to the monkeys?
The Monkeys thank you!

Hey, all... daughter had a fight with some glass, and she lost lol. Anyways, we just got back from the emergency room, so I'll be sleeping in a little later than usual, so I'm going to put a 4 hour delay on the turn, just in case.

I guess I just forgot to read the part of the prophecy about the skeleton guy chewing my face off and then stealing my harem :o

Well what can I say... after centuries of dusty undead nolife in the depths of the mountains, these sexy pimpy ghosty vestals may not have been in the prophecy, but surely come as a nice re-awakening gift :p
