Default Re: doh! ..Self inflicted idiocy....

I've got one that ssj is quite familiar with, as he was my opponent. He had breached the walls of my cap and another fort. Of course I was going to defend my cap at all costs. However I no longer had the resources to defend the other fort and decided to cast vortex of returning to retrieve the mages and SCs I had there.

For some unfathomable reason I decided to give the vortex caster extra gems. So, the secondary fort was stormed, vortex was cast and those forces returned to the capitol. Then the battle for the cap was fought and of course the vortex caster cast the spell again ... with no cap to return to. It was an impressive act of suicide.

V,
That was indeed a ten. However I think I may have you beat in shear volume as far as "dohs!" go. Here is another.

I have at least twice attached last minute turns... from the wrong game.

Yeah, I really outdid myself on that one. Squirrelloid, that was when I subbed in to your C'tis position in Momentum 3. Other than that move I think I put up a good fight but I was just speechless when I watched the battle replay.

I think I've only done that once, but had time to receive the message that it was an incorrect file and send the correct one in.

Some other nice moves. Casting mass protection ... as Abysia (and no, I didn't cast a FR boosting spell to counteract it). I also really like scripting battlefield wide spells and then not giving mages the gems to cast them. Adds that nice bit of randomness to battles.

Here's one that's kind of embarrassing. Towards the end of YARG2 WL's R'lyeh attacked my Ermor. He was storming one of my forts but no worries since I had master enslave ready to go. You know, because it works so well against a bunch of mindless lobo guards and soulless and high MR aboleths. Guess I should stick to playing TNN/Eriu.
