Default Hall of Doh!

I hereby nominate myself to the Hall of Doh!, for suiciding a Scout with a load of reserve gems and a clam.

Here's the routine: click the province my army is in (with the scout), hit 'a', select Storm Castle. Forget to de-select the scout. And he's still scripted to Retreat from way back when he was actually a Scout, and not a Bearer of Precious Reserve Gems and a Clam. And I've got no province to retreat to, because I sailed/flew to the castle.

Doh!

Casting Black Death on my capital is up near the top. Wishing for death by accident is another.

My succubus, outfitted with neat gear (if seduction fails), successfully seduced an enemy commander and returned with him to my capitol. Alas my capitol was underwater... both drowned. Duh!

Attacked an army sieging my cap with my huge stack of mages. Forgot to actually move any troops with them. A few arrows later,....

Fully kitted out Ulmish hero accompanying a huge army is accidentally the only one scripted to attack right away.

Charges out in front of my entire army into the loving arms of a bunch of Shinuyama trolls and is immediately ground into Ulmburger in front of my horrified troops. I imagined they received a -5 morale for witnessing this event

Hopefully that is a good thing.

Ouch. You would think the game would warn you about this.

Recently in an MP game I somehow forgot to click end turn when I finished my orders. I had several flying raiding armies that were bouncing province to province. During my stale turn all my raiding armies were wiped and the all the provinces I raided flipped to the enemy. It was a pretty devastating stale turn to say the least :/.

Got another one for the Hall of Doh! This really hurt.

Had a HUGE sacred dual-blessing Eriu army - all 2/3 star vets from wars with Ermor chaff. They were hiding out deep in enemy territory, ready to spring the final attack, when their commander, my prophet, got mind hunted. Commander dies, and troops have nowhere to go since they are stealthed in enemy lands.

Entire army that took whole game to build - > up in smoke.

That was my first and most unforgettable lesson on the importance of:
1. astral defense
2. magic resistance
3. multiple commanders
