I had a similarly funny message Last night regarding my Nataraja pretender...he waded into battle and after the dust settled, I was sad to find that he had three afflictions. One was "Lost one eye" and another was "And lost the other one as well". Ack.

This happened to a recurring villain in my first-ever game playing the Dominions I demo. There was an enemy horse archer commander who kept leading armies against my forces, and I couldn't finish him off since he would stay at a distance and fire arrows, and then run away if/when I managed to beat his army. However our archers did manage to take out one eye, and then his other eye, but he'd still show up leading armies against my forces, but now firing arrows in random directions since he couldn't see anything!

This was one of the things that convinced me early on that Dominions was a classic and wonderful game. He's one of the most memorable and amusing characters I've encountered in a computer game, and he was auto-generated by the detailed game engine and the events of play!
