				 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. |
