Hall of Doh!

I got a lesson to be careful with equipment

Equiped my Tartarian Cyclops with standard SC stuff that included Boots of Quickness. He wennt to do his job, conquered something easily, then surprise - he got a meeting with Arch Devil. He lost, so I check the battle report. And something is wrong - why he is suddenly in front and self-buffs there? I check the equipment - Sandals of the Crane! Blinking Tartarian!

That was the most stupid battle I have EVER seen. My Cyclops is superior in strength and should win that without huge problem. But Arch Devil regenerates. My Cyclops hits him, tries to make final blow - but nah, he gets blinked somewhere far and walks to Devil. Arch Devil flies to him, they fight couple round, then my Tartarian blinks somewhere again. And they do it for over 30 turns. So my Cyclops run out of most of HP and decided to retreat. But it isn't so easy - he needs to get till the end of battlefield. He walks, just 1 more tile... but no! he gets blinked somewhere far and hast to start again. It took him about 30 turns! to rout!

Built an Amulet of the Fish to send my big ole high power Kraken god off to slay on the land. Unfortunatly...i forgot to put it on first- DOH!

D10 crone pretender with twiceborn waltzes out of my Dominion alone, no bodyguards... Ritual summoned Earth Elemental turns her into a mud pie. No more blender drinks when taking Dom turns...

Anyone else notice that barkskin amulets and fever fetishes look somewhat similar?

Doh.

Time to redo my turn from the start.

I record this one for posterity as a reminder to check your fort admin scores before laying down a fort -

I built a fort adjacent to a province where I had set up a lab and temple to recruit indie mages. No big deal.

Unfortunately, this province had another adjacent fort, the combination of which sent my resources in the indie recruiting zone down to zero.

So its either forget about the indie mages and the 900 gold invested in recruiting infrastructure, or tear down the 1200 gp / 5 turns to make walls Mr. Gorbachev.

Doh!!!!!

Hey, just build another fort on the indy mages! You can never have enough forts .

[DonCorazon]

Good point though in this case it might be throwing good money after bad since the indies in question were simple shamans to get me N1 access, and it would be cheaper to build a temple and lab (900) on another province than pony up for another fort. Although once i have more money it could make sense to throw a fort on their just for recruiting more national mages.

[vfb]

Yep, the only reason not to throw up another fort would be if (A) it would prevent you from recruiting more capitol-only units (if one of the 2 existing provinces is your capitol) or (B) if it's a lab on the front lines where you need to sit a bunch of mages who are there for defense, but you'd like to have them research instead of patrol.

Oh yeah, (C): If you haven't got the cash!

My most recent and most tragic entry into the HoD:

Dr Doom, the death turkey, had cast Burden of Time, and then after empowering, Utterdark too. Wait a sec, why am I wasting this Starshine Cap on him when he's just summoning some longdead horse! If I give it to this other guy, he can cast Send Lesser Horror, and I might get a free upgrade to a real Horror, since AC is up.

Yeah, that's a good idea!

Well, it would have been if Dr Doom had S2, but he was only S1. And a horrible Horror objected to his little summoning spell, and Dr Doom could not follow his returning script, so he just raised a few skeletons. And that was the end of Dr Doom.

DOH!
