Funny mistakes

I kept thinking the Driller boss was in the SW corner of the map, when actually he's in the NE corner. I kept thinking that was the upstairs back to Montero when in fact it was the Driller's bridge. I was in no shape to take him on at all, and you can't run away.

Oh, there's the upstairs. Oh shoot! Reload...
Oh, there's the upstairs. Oh shoot! Reload...

For some reason, I insist on casting avenging angel on the phantom griffins the royal griffins summon, only to have it immediately disappear!

How about casting Berserk on the Paladins and then later realizing you have to wait 5 turns before you can Resurrect.

I'm really good about keeping my necromancers healed too

So I had a meatshield stack of summoned zombies parked in front of a stack of pirates and seadogs. I decided it was a fair trade to risk killing my zombie stack if I can do some serious damage to both pirate stacks, so I have my catapults rain fiery hell upon them. Luck decided to flip me the bird and then pull my pants off in public, so BOTH pirate stacks evaded the attack. Not only that, but the remnants of my zombie stack was utterly destroyed by the attack.

The miserable thing was, as I was cursing at the screen and shaking my fist in rage, those goblin bastards were cackling to themselves, rubbing their hands together as that familiar green aura envelops them. Right click on them..."Anticipates Trophies"...for what?! Missing both your targets and obliterating my zombies?! Goblin stew was delicious that evening.

Another little mistake began on my part, but quickly switched over to my favor. For some stupid reason, I decided to wait my archdemons when there were ogres in the enemy army. -_- So the ogres sap my archdemons action points and I'm all like "Oh shiz--". He loads up his ogre rage, stomping all around and then charges headlong across the field into my army, going straight for my...demonesses...who promptly evade the charging ogre's blow by simply moving slightly to the side. I lol'd whole-heartedly at the pathetic move as my troops swarmed over those cocky ogres and proceeded to beat the stolen action points right out of them before their buddies can even get a chance to help out. Bastard.

Pirates and Sea Dogs are the most annoying units in the game, they evade waaay too often, just when you are about to deliver a perfect kill combo they fu*k everything up.

This is probably an indication of me having played for too long that day... In any case when the battle was under control I start to dig up chests and let my Ogres pick them up as normal. Suddenly I got surpriced when I lost 5 Ogres picking up a chest. I had managed to dig up a Mine instead of a chest - the hex was covered with a body so the colored area was barely visible and I wasn't paying attension. It was a valid spot for the dig action and I played on auto-pilot...

Absolutely. A "funny" mistake I made in the starting games was taking both of those in my army, assuming that they will evade just as often and act as damage dealers that will support my Paladin tank. Well, suffice it to say that the AI's Pirates, Sea Dogs, Swordsmen, Dryads and Demonesses evade much more often than my own. It was like the AI troops evaded like 40% of the time (just a little less than 50% of the time, because of the new restrictions), while my own were evading 20% of the time, as stated in the passive ability.

Time to make a petition to the game master for unfair rules
