Classic Mistaeks. :)

I still forget to take armies off sneak even now. Im using an summoned vampire army to take high str independants and I keep slowing my progress by forgetting to turn to move.

and thinking about it, Ive hit on my armies with aura's before too.

Another classic mistake is going hell for leather to get a particular level in a magic to unleash a spell on the world !!! and then discovering you were a number of skill levels short on any of your mages to cast it once researched. (Well of misery comes to mind from a few days ago)

I just fashioned some boots for a general that doesnt have a feet slot too. Sheesh, Im feeling denser by the minute thinking about all these.

"Patrol" and "Pillage" both start with a P... but I've learned that's about all they have in common.

My best mistake story is probably the one I posted at the start of the thread here:

I have done some of the ones you guys mentioned. Ooops mummies... I saved my commanders with regen rings and eventually GoH.

Another one I did fairly recently was decide to do a "hit and run" archer/recon strike using a mercenary company... ordering mercs to retreat has a major disadvantage... ooooooooooooooooooooops...

not setting a wrym with earth magic to attack, he casts flying sharts, fatieges out, and dies to light infrantry on turn 3.

I like that story PVK, I tend to play Mictian pretty much solely and although I have won well, no games at all since I started playing, I just cant resist the Blood Fountain.

In fact as an aside, following advice on here about jacking up my Inde str I am pretty much walking over a game currently. So thumbs up, Gandalf I think it was that gave it.

Anyway, problem with saving them with regen rings (which was my instant thought) was the fact that the main 3 generals all had lifelong protection and eyes of aiming, hence I had no slots to put a ring in and I didnt have any other items available to build that gave regen.

I do love Mictipocti though. I played mainly on Orania and Im always on a mission to land him on Skull Island..hehe.

Quick question how DO you get unholy priests other than via national troops like ernor or heros like Micti.

Mound Fiends are Unholy-3 and can be summoned by a D3 mage at Conj-7 for 28(?) death gems.
