Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
 

Well, a while ago got hit by Kraken King suddenly appearing in my capital. With 25 (IIRC) Kraken. With me having Luck 3.

I didn't know there even where Kraken Kings :o Looking at the horde of Krakens (with that dreadful Kraken King leading them) I gave up that MP after considering things for a few moments (game was in the early stages stil, my capital was still my only fortress...).

If you are playing EA R'lyeh, you just got yourself a bunch of free Kraken bodyguards. ;)

Sorry to tell you. That one is not a random event. Enemy is casting spells at you.

I know. I think I know which of my enemies did it too. I´m sending a horror to Caelum for kicks.

In one SP game I had a vampire count attack my capitol with his minions on turn 2, right after my starting army was badly mauled by a group of indie-barbarians. So I was unable to lift the siege on my capitol and had very little income/resources to raise a new (indie) army. Even though I was playing the AI, it was pretty much game over.

Bogus freeing blood slaves and the master theif stealing gems are some scary ones, probably not the worst, but definitely painful.

I'm also surprised the fountains only have 10 hitpoints and are size SIX. They must be made of glass.

Read their descriptions and take a wild guess. :)

Kirke is the one who seduced Skögu, then kicked him out later, so if they happen into the same province and the event happens, one of them dies. I don't know which one as I haven't seen the event in question, but I expect Skögu kills Kirke.

Got this one at first turn of my first dom3 mp game. :doh:

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
 

Not true honey. Losing a lab first turn, with an imprisoned pretender, and no mage build is a disaster, especially for nations that *have* to build commanders that require the lab.

I really think that some events should not occur in the first 3 turns. Sure, I realize that people take bad luck - but... you go to a lot of effort to setup a game - and then someone drops due to getting truly horrendous random events in the first turn.

There are just 5-6 events that shouldn't happen in the first year.

How about hydras... size SIX with SIZE hit points. Just ridiculous. And to think it took hercules to kill them.

Whereas, from memomory in Dom 2, they had what.. 60 hp?

Overall, I still prefer Dom 2 I think. Liked themes.
