The most dreadful (random) event?

[Foodstamp]

I dread the event that gives me 453470 militia . It cripples your economy and can be a pain to dispose of them all. Fortunately Dwarf Fortress has taught me how to kill unwanted refugees in the most creative of manners.

BTW, the most feared event for my own is a feared events
In one game (LA), I had a continued serie of "population goes elsewhere" / brigands / "you've got a f..king plague man what a bad luck aint'it ?" on my capitol. Between turn 20 and turn 30, my beloved capitol raised < 14000 pop.

And I have Luck 1 / Growth 1 as pretender scales.

In other words : pop killing events on capitol now just drive me instantly mad

Especially when they appear in some backwater province of yours, and you need to start doing to micro to scuttle them away to the front line over half a year, where they're basically disposable cannon fodder, anyway. That sucks away at you income all the time. It has improved a bit with the recent nation-specific militia events, though.

It's nasty having if a vampire lord decides to take over your capital in the very early game. Another unfortunate thing is when something "gives" you a new magic site like "Deep Cavern" or what it was called or Silver/Gold mines, but overwrites a far better magic site - I think that it can do that, yes?

Shouldn't be able to overwrite magic sites. Those events can only happen in provinces that do not have the full four sites already.

As much as I love ridiculously high Blesses, I won't play a game with negative Luck-the bad luck events are ridiculous and can easily cripple a nation if you expand slowly-which I tend to do.

I dunno. Having Bogus and party drop in on the same province your rainbow god is sight searching and you forgot to give him "retreat orders" is pretty bad news. Or,having "retreat orders" on your rainbow god and getting hit with a random assassin or ninja attempt.

I have a better one for you.

I was attacking with my Cylcops god into some random unknown territory, with one free space behind him. He defeated the indies and then got into a fist-fight with a bunch of bless Abysians. You know, the ones dual wielding flails? Nasty stuff. He retreated without any afflictions, but on the same turn, the troll and his merry band attacked the province directly behind him, cutting off his retreat route

This one made me angry. (WTF? how can an arrow kill a statue???)

Sorry to tell you. That one is not a random event. Enemy is casting spells at you.

Bogus freeing blood slaves and the master theif stealing gems are some scary ones, probably not the worst, but definitely painful.

I'm also surprised the fountains only have 10 hitpoints and are size SIX. They must be made of glass.
