Your biggest Doh moment... - Page 3

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!

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...

My biggest "Dohh!" moment came in one of my first games. I had to stop a big mannish communion. I did not have many tools at hand but I eventually came up with a bold plan to have a mage cast Foul Vapors. I had previously noticed that the enemy mages used the spell "invulnerability" to protect themselves. This spell also gives the recipient 100 points of poison vulnerability so the plan was to distract the communion with all manner of spread out chaff while the enemy died from poison and suffered a Pyrrhic victory.

Everything worked wonderfully! Although I lost a lot of troops, the enemy mages were also dying in droves! But they did not stay down! Apparently the enemy had snuck in a Death mage that cast Life after Life on the army and every fallen mage rose again as the undead. Not only did I waste a huge amount of troops in order to screen my mages, the only thing I managed to cut down was the enemies upkeep costs, by a huge amount! It was terrible.

I don't think that counts. You did nothing wrong, and just got outplayed. Though, shouldn't the newly undead mages die again? Undead start with poison immunity, but invulnerability takes that away. Unless your opponent forsaw you using foul vapors and switched to ironskin or something, in which case you really got outplayed.

Here's another. I wanted to give a thug a hero's blade so he could go after some ettins. Turns out I handed him the stone sword. He killed himself on the first swing.

I wasted 4 fully penetration gear equipped mindhunters turns blasting a GoR'ed crusher with the stone sword. (Guess what happened).

Not my biggest doh, but frustrating the none the less.

Eventually penetrated resistance only to find out that it`s immune?
