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

I'm also surprised the fountains only have 10 hitpoints and are size SIX. They must be made of glass.
|
How about hydras... size SIX with SIZE hit points. Just ridiculous. And to think it took hercules to kill them.
Whereas, from memomory in Dom 2, they had what.. 60 hp?
Overall, I still prefer Dom 2 I think. Liked themes.

Actually, Oracle has just 10 hp in DomII. They weren't changed.

"A tribal chief has donated some gold and a magic item to the awakening god."
In this particular game this happened around eight times, and each time said magic item was a slave collar. I don't know who this particular tribal chief was, but his nefarious plans to overthrow my Divine, Just and Righteous rule would not go unpunished!

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
Clearly your fountain was far too brittle, I'd recommend going with one of the metallic options rather than stone. Just make sure it won't corrode in blood - stick away from iron or low grade stainless

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
Well, a while ago got hit by Kraken King suddenly appearing in my capital. With 25 (IIRC) Kraken. With me having Luck 3.
I didn't know there even where Kraken Kings  Looking at the horde of Krakens (with that dreadful Kraken King leading them) I gave up that MP after considering things for a few moments (game was in the early stages stil, my capital was still my only fortress...).

If you are playing EA R'lyeh, you just got yourself a bunch of free Kraken bodyguards.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
I know. I think I know which of my enemies did it too. I´m sending a horror to Caelum for kicks.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
In one SP game I had a vampire count attack my capitol with his minions on turn 2, right after my starting army was badly mauled by a group of indie-barbarians. So I was unable to lift the siege on my capitol and had very little income/resources to raise a new (indie) army. Even though I was playing the AI, it was pretty much game over.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
Hydra has 6 hit points for each of its lesser heads, and the greater head has 40. That's 8*6=48+40=88 HP. What's more important, no matter how much damage you do, you can only kill one head per attack. So they laugh off soul slay, or single attack SCs.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
Yeah, I remember in one game, a guy's capital was attacked by a bunch of knights on turn 1. He lost all his starting army (they were on patrol) + PD. He cannot recruit, has no army to fight and cannot really do much research. That's tragic.
