I was playing a recent game with an amusing battle. I was playing as Pything with an awake Imperial Emperor as my god, which I often choose over the Great Sage simply because it feels thematic. I didn't bother giving him any more magic past S1, and in retrospect I could have just made him imprisoned or gone with a fountain, but it was too late to decide that. So I was using him as a second commander.
In one battle he exhausted himself casting useless S1 evocations. The army routed the defending indies. Two turns before the indies routed off the map my pretender roused himself to cast Blink and came out right in front of the retreating enemies.
I found this amusing because of his stature as an Emperor and the fact the he had spent most of the battle asleep. I imagine the aging general waking at the end and saying, "I want a closer look at that..." and BOOM!
