Well i was recently playing a little game as Arco, just for fun and to try out the Nataraja as a SC. I was at the point where i had accumulated a small but impressive army of about 35ish heart companions backed by a firing squad of about 8 astrologers mass casting soul slay
So i rolled over the indeps for awhile and then pangea declared war on me with my funsquad right near their borders. Well i immediately made for their main army and smashed it. About 100 satyrs with centaur support. About now your probably what unit gave me my comeuppance... some pans maybe? Some Claymen? Maybe some Kithaironic lions? Nope, it was harpies. Harpies. I engaged a force substantially smaller than the one i had just smashed (without losses, though i didnt mention it) and was caught completely with my pants down when their harpies turned out to be on good old Dom1 'attack commander' orders. Or at least that what i believe they must have been on, because instead of making for my wonderfully resilient decoy damage sponge heart companions (who were there for that very purpose) they waited 2 turns and jumped right into my astrologers, killing them all in one turn and causing my companions to rout.
Whoops
anyone else have some fun stories of the same variety?
