I've got water gems if anyone wants to trade... I can do 15 water for 15 fire gems. I'm open to other trades if people have some cool items.

ARG, beat this unluck

Fort going up, only 1 turn left. What happens in the Luck 2 province its in? Hydra. A single, ****ing, hydra unexpected event.

There goes 800 gold and 3 turns of building. Atleast the province isn't worth much (swamp) and makes a nice hydra barrier between me and Bandar.

OK, you get my vote for "least lucky Nation to date" based on that anecdote.

Ah, you cede the province to the monkeys?
The Monkeys thank you!

Yeah, I've had nothing but crap random events so far... my country is a veritable brigand factory.

Sigh barbarian invasion next to my cap. Its not like I needed those resources or anything.

I think my favorite experience with absurd rolls on the RNG would be the time I was playing kailasa and sent 20 yaksha sacreds with a yaksha commander to take an indie province with 20 or so infantry and 6 archers. I was running a strong air bless (70% airshield) and that was the first thing I put up. Turn two a single arrow is fired that avoids the airshield and hits my commander for 6hp damage (out of 28). It then proceeds to give him the battle fright affliction and he promptly fails a morale check and runs away with the whole force =/

It is a funny thing. While events like that are terribly annoying at the time

, I think they are also a large part of the game's charm.
