Todays lesson for me...

When your last try to break the siege of your capitol (trn 21 early era. enemy is Tien-Chi. a lot of infantry (near 250, 11 mages or so, near 10 elefants... my troops are last 6 niefel jarls with abductor and Son of Niefel (pretenderand some other troops.)
Our forces were ready for the las fight (well I seem to have some problems with art of placement but I try to learn it)
Nevertheless. Pretender.. chill 30(or so) during prepares my most and last hope to win this battle says "stoneskin"
Fin. I've killed him.
He frosted himself till death(
Doh!!!

This is apparently a fairly common mistake, actually.

My biggest D'oh! was spending the better part of 10 turns acquiring the materials for making some artifact-level gear for Taurotyrannos (the Pangaean blood minotaur hero, I think that's what his name was,)along with a Black Heart to make the most powerful assassin known to half-mankind, sending him into a province and having him seize upon a generic commander...
Only to have him cast tangle vines incessantly because I forgot to script him. And watch him die. And watch the commander get ahold of the Manreaper and all sorts of other nifty stuff.
D'oh!

Just did this one in a practice game of mine...

I have two Sidhe lords rampaging some indie Water provinces then I though "wow I should site search these provinces!" I then Cloud Trapese a Lucky Tuatha Sorceress to one of these provinces.... Without waterbreathing. She Is dead and I lose her awesome picks too... <doh!!!>

I've made the mistake of bringing a Druid along my Abysians. Unscripted. Who promptly cast Protection -- area Barkskin -- which lowers fire resistance...

Had a mage with two globals cast manifistation.
The angel came ....for my mage. ooops.

In a sp game, very late in, I teleported my pretender (oracle S11) into a huge enemy army. Cast master enslave. All went well, caputure almost the entire army. between turns my pretender was attacked by a ninja assassin and killed with posion shirkens. Doh! Enslaver of entire armies killed by a lowly assassin.

I lost an Oracle too after a Master Enslave, when he hadn't any gems for vortex of returning
