I have another few hundred annoying moments, but my therapist is calling.

And since it is an hourly rate, I need to go, too.

All my master assassins keep getting Unequaled Obesity. Which is cool and all except I keep hoping for some whirling death-machine, not some cunning, deceptively quick blob. The next one I get I'm renaming Mad Pierrot and equipping him with a Rune Smasher.

"*belch* You, sir, *birrrrup* your *wheeze* life ends *wheeze* here tonight!"

[HoneyBadger]

Joining my very first MP game (Perpetuality), getting the nation I wanted (Niefelheim) out of 60+ in a random draw, and then having my closest neighbor be Ashen Empire-the one nation out of all of them that I was least prepaired to fight, who was fielding a Ghost King which destroyed my best army-by causing them to run away from fear after I captured and successfully held one of Ermor's 3 castles. Then, having held Ermor off from my capital for about a year, killing said Ghost King in the process and doing serious damage to some of his best armies, getting sold down the river by Pangaea.

But I'm not bitter.

Sugar rush assassins. First they are ever so quick. Then they get fatter

Having your leaders killed by mind hunt, and not knowing who was killed because it was 30 something hours since your last turn, and the name means nothing to you. WHen they live, they get an icon, at least telling you what they looked like/type. When they die, you just get a question mark. No clue where it happened either. Front line? Capital? All I know is it hurts... *weeps* Mommy.... please take R'lyeh's astral pearls away from them, pwease?

Meanwhile, R'lyeh wins a battle. The only one of my commanders who die? My pretender, who was doing much better than the wyrm until a lucky Gift from Heaven actually hit something. And against 60 Star Children, a Lead Shield doesn't help much against paralyzing mind blasts. Every other commander survives the battle just fine. Bah.

I feel your pain... and have been thru those moments. What I've done for my important mages/SCs/commanders is give them a name which helps me identify them if such a death occurs. A name such as SC_WaterQ... it's not very creative, but at least I know who's died.

Depends on the game, but often my SCs and my prophet are the only ones who *have* normal names. "Polyphonius the Prophet" and "Graveskull," etc. Although I did keep an indy priest named "Ruprecht" in my current game because of the movie /Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/.

Teleporting my Kraken pretender onto the land- but forgetting to have him put his Amulet of the Fish on. Visualize...

Getting a fully armored Knight of the Stone killed by a single lucky shot from a goll-derned slinger on the very first turn of a battle.
