What is your nastiest surprise ever in Dom III?

Seems pretty tame compared to these, but:

I have a mage with boots of the planes (teleport) and the Chalice. He teleports around to different armies and reduces afflictions. This is necessary as all my mages are ancient and keep getting more and more afflictions, and mages are the basis of my armies.

Anyways, one turn he just disappears. Can't find him. Overview doesn't list him. Can't remake the chalice or the boots, so I am pretty sure he is out there somewhere. No idea what is going on. Except my extended armies are falling apart, and my mass of researchers/caster in the capital are dying off quickly now.

Lost in Space and Time, perhaps?

Yea, the boots can cause that to happen iirc.

That sounds like a good guess to me. Darn it.

Nothing big, but this turn in a game I've lost a two times empowered mage with an about 80 gems worth gear, including hammer and 3 boosters. He was forging in a lab in a dom 8 province protected by an astral dome, there was a garnison and lots of other mages, he had bodyguards, he wasn't old, I had no particular message about his death... It seems the wrath of god global has chosen to kill Him among my hundreds of units (the "funniest" thing is I had 17 units wounded and only one killed by the ligthnings this turn and it was this one).

Ha ha, if I were you I would dispel Pangaea's Wrath of God, I considered dispelling it but choose not too as it would hurt all other players in the game as well as me. Good call by me.

That really is what I call bad luck...

I think the nastiest surprise I've seen so far was seeing the Hunter of Heroes eat multiple of my non-horror-marked HoFers before the HHNerf mod.

Starting in the dead center of a random map and rapidly needing to deal with war on six fronts was also a very unpleasant surprise in one game.
