Hall of Doh!

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!

Hey, that could actually be useful. Give her water breathing and you don't end up with an expensive but rather useless troop.

Todays lesson for me...
Doh! is
When your last try to break the siege of your capitol (trn 21 early era. enemy is Tien-Chi. a lot of infantry (near 250, 11 mages or so, near 10 elefants... my troops are last 6 niefel jarls with abductor and Son of Niefel (pretenderand some other troops.)
Our forces were ready for the las fight (well I seem to have some problems with art of placement but I try to learn it)
Nevertheless. Pretender.. chill 30(or so) during prepares my most and last hope to win this battle says "stoneskin"
Fin. I've killed him.
He frosted himself till death(
Doh!!!

This is apparently a fairly common mistake, actually.

My biggest D'oh! was spending the better part of 10 turns acquiring the materials for making some artifact-level gear for Taurotyrannos (the Pangaean blood minotaur hero, I think that's what his name was,)along with a Black Heart to make the most powerful assassin known to half-mankind, sending him into a province and having him seize upon a generic commander...
Only to have him cast tangle vines incessantly because I forgot to script him. And watch him die. And watch the commander get ahold of the Manreaper and all sorts of other nifty stuff.
D'oh!

How did you manage to get him?

Attacking an army with a big communion of MA Marignon, scripted to rain fire on the enemy...

Battle starts... What the?! Why aren't they casting fire spells? Oh rite... Those enemies are Abysian

Result: A lot of Royal Guards and Mages dying of exaustion

Teleport a dozen penetration boosted astral mages onto a group of mostly non-GOR'ed tartarians for some enslave mind spam figuring they'll quickly start fighting each other while my mages keep plugging away. Was short on boosters so I got everybody up to S3 and scripted the first guy to cast light of the northern star....then didn't give him any pearls. Result: 6 paralyzed tarts while the rest strolled over and squished all the astral mages I had.

D3 Lamia Queen with a Skull Staff (boosting her to D4) & 4 Death gems. She's scripted for Darkness & leading an undead hoard.

I�m curious to know what her second shape (snake form, i.e. handless) stats are, so I change her shape...looks good...change her back. I order the attack.


COMBAT!

Lamia Queen: "BARKSKIN!...EAGLE EYES!...ETC!"

Undead Hoard: *Hacked*...*Slashed*...

Me: "D3?!? What the fudge^ happened to the Skull Staff?!? ...oh...Doh!"

That there province is just independents. Indies, shmindies, we'll kill'em all and let the head honcho sort'em out!

Battle Report
Ulmish force
Independent force

The battle repost should say it all. Two of my three hall of fame mages died and if not for them, I'd have had absolutely nothing left. Bloody troglodyte events...

Kaljamaha had another nice one, he's playing the new LA Abysia and one of his slayers is clearing an indie province. Kills all commanders and we're talking about the final attempt to ensure there are no more commanders left, when the indies get the Celebrant of the Faith event. High priest casts holy avenger, slayer (hall of fame, naturally) takes a
swipe, misses and is annihilated by the smiting power of an independent heathen god. That was in a game where nothing he did turned out right anyway while I was just basically rolling along and tripping over Doom Clouds, Underworlds and other extra bonuses every other turn.


Finally, this one is not really Hall of Doh material as such, but I might as well post it here to save making another post.

Ooh, I bet that hurt...
