My personal favorite is, of course, attacking with 2 armies and forgetting to change "sneak" into "move" for one of them... Unfortunately, hadn't got anything like this in current MPs...

I had one of these on the King of the Island game. I was playing C'tis (without much efficiency I confess...) and was planning to attack Machaka. I move several stealth armies (mainly shades & shadows) on the provinces I wanted to seize and where my scouts reported no or very few DP... and I forgot to make them move instead of sneak. The turn after, I attacked at least. but the time was over : the main province and 2 other had received armies, the main province had also a beatiful fort built, just under my nose

Of course, bad times were only to begin since Machaka was one of the power nations of the game, while I was one of the poorest ones

how about all those times you turn up the tax on turn 1 and then forget to turn it down?

in one of my first MP games it wasn't until around turn 40 when a spy arrived in my capital and was caught that i realized i had huge unrest and that was what had caused my queue to stop producing. doh!!!

the player who sent the spy, saw the unrest in my capital and asked me after he was defeated if i was at war with someone (assuming someone else must have been sending spies to my capital and that person might have made a good ally).

i had to confess no -i created all that unrest by myself.

[11:58] TinyTurtle: Oh. little green numbers above your soldiers = bad?
[11:58] Sombre: Poison.
[11:58] TinyTurtle: haha, oops.
[11:58] Sombre: Damage inflicted by poison.
[11:58] TinyTurtle: so I had this Hydra running around with my Pythium dudes, and I was all "wow, it's healing them, i had no idea it would do that"
[11:58] Sombre: lol
[11:58] TinyTurtle: so for the next couple of battles I was extra careful to keep it in the group.
[11:58] Sombre: That's awesome.
[11:58] Sombre: Your group is probably hideously afflicted.
[11:58] Aldante_Fax: That's wonderful
[11:59] TinyTurtle: oh god
[11:59] TinyTurtle: I'm looking through them
[11:59] Sombre: I have to post that on the other board.
[11:59] Sombre: That's classic.
