What is your nastiest surprise ever in Dom III?

[Twan]

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).
