Hilariously unlikely combat

[Edi]

One of mine was in LeafNosed Bat when a C'tissian banelord attacked my capital (EA, I was Ulm). Fully kitted out, though not optimally, it had been kicking my PD and some minor armies around like nobody's business and then attempted to to shut me in my capital. The first brave PD warrior who attacked it got cut down, but the next ones simply hacked it to pieces. A couple of minor hits and then one warrior delivered 26 points of damage through a protection of around 25 or so.

The C'tis player was not too pleased with losing his HoF wraithlord.

In the same game, pretty early on, I was next to Vanheim and had nothing really to counter his horde of much better quality troops that was backed up by a thunder strike squad of four or five vanadrotts. I managed to forge a ring of tamed lightning and ship it to the front lines for my awake Prince of Death pretender, who was equipped with a forged black steel plate and hunter's knife and a snake bladder stick I'd gotten from an event. I sent him where I thought the Van army was going and the resulting battle saw 80 out of 120 van infantry dead, most from poison. It's a wonder what repeated aoe 5 poison strikes and +19 fear can manage. I even managed to kill three of the five vanadrotts when they exhausted themselves casting minor spells from non-air paths. The PoD picked up a couple of minor afflictions, but that was all.

The Van player especially was not pleased, that battle essentially wiped him out when he was fighting Abysia at the same time.


Then there was, in a co-op hotseat game against the AI, the heroic Abysian PD warlord who singlehandedly defeated a Hinnom raid of 10 or 15 dawn guards by charging fearlessly ahead and killing the commander leading them. Not so special, but it was memorable.
