"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:

http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...4;t=001035;p=2

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.

the mound fiend, conjuration 6 or 7, 28 death gems, or one of the ice devils, all have unholy, as do the natioal summons of CW and DT.

Mound fiend is a summonable unholy priest.

Btw, you could try to go for construction 6 to get Hydra skin armor for regeneration (nature 2 is all that's required).

Heh, triple posting at the same time...
