Your biggest Doh moment...

[bbz]

I seriously hate you for that one!!!

[parone]

here's one that happened today.

i am a super newbie. i took a really good early game nation, and things were going really, really well. good diplo, some real sight searching luck, blah blah blah

one of my expansion armies marches into a province and is surprised by some indi death mages. we whoop em anyway. i notice that there is death sight that spawnes disease. i high tail it outta there so my expo force doesn't get sick...

but i gotta sight search cause i have a rainbow with D2, and i just KNOW there is a cool death sight there...

and there was. and i can even recruit indi mages there(found it on the search) who can diversify my woefully indiversified nation.

whee is the DOH? one turn in the province, and my rainbow, who is all that stands between me and magical poverty, is diseased.

poor dumb newbie...

Site, not sight...

Most of my Doh moments have to do with domes. Putting up a dome and teleporting in casters all in the same turn.

Forgetting to upload the turn is also always a big Doh.

In a SP game I had an expensively kitted Kitsune that I was planning on using to seduce enemy commanders. In one turn I ordered her to sneak into an adjacent province to start targeting the commanders of an enemy army. I then realized the enemy army was likely to move into her current location next turn so I canceled the sneak command with shift+d (like I do when I'm telling an indie commander to stay put).

My intuition had been right; next turn the enemy army moved into that province... where they met my defending Kitsune and promptly flattened her.

Shift+D = "defend" which is NOT the same as "hide".

Putting a wraith crown on a solitaire water queen. Several times over, even (there were months between turns), until she had nowhere to flee when her stupid skellies get splattered. An item I will never ever use again.

While I've had many mistakes in the short time I've been playing, I haven't done any that were facepalm-worthy yet (yet being the keyword).

However, one of my friend who started playing last week did make one that he's still upset about 3 days afterward. We are allied against the computer, mostly fighting against a huge late-age Ermor. To help in the underwater part of the war, he decided to teleport his well-equiped Father of Frost pretender god to his underwater lab so that he can summon some helpful creatures... but forgot to reequip his ring of water breathing. Death by drowning feels like such an insult for what is supposed to be a powerful god!

[parone]

LOL. that is funny. my pretender is basically dying of the measels. another ignoble end...

Here's a few more from a recent thread.

My biggest doh was not equipping an astral gem on my pretender after scripting returning (only way to forge safely with astral corruption up). Anyway... He ended up worse than dead... The dreaded doom horror spin cycle...
