Funny mistakes

[RYTEDR]

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...

The fight was finished so I left one shooter standing and started ressurecting, sacrificing and digging. One chest was next to a Holy Cross that gave bless and heal during the fight. My Bone Dragon went to pick up the chest and was zapped by the cross. Damn!

Moral of the story: if you have a pet Bone Dragon, don't put one of those electric bug zapper things on your back porch.

Well, dragons are so lazy that they prefer to
walk over the trap instead of flying over it.

Arghhhh........

Why can't they fly when there is a trap around,
even if it is just a few steps.

How about this ? Not realy mistake, but funny thing.
Got all archer army with Trigger as my companion and fighting Ancient vampires. I saw them evade my attacks 12 times in a row, before figuring out wtf is going on (their death deception, and my 100% crit

I, like most, have probably failed more then once by casting
avenging angel on angelic guard.
Also discovered another thing today. Not really a mistake, more of a bug.
My ancient phoenix died at the same square where enemy heros dead phoenix was. When he used rebirth it was my phoenix that got revived.
Then it died again and so he rebirthed mine again! Never moved it cuz I wanted to keep his phoenix "dead".
Ended up having this phoenix die 5 times!

I attacked an enemy troop with a unit of Red Dragons, then I attack that same troop from the opposite side with my Black Knights, feeling a bit overconfident about the easy battle. Of course, the enemy chooses to attack my Red Dragons who incinerates both the enemy AND my Black Knights who also gets a burn debuff(which I didn't notice at first) for 500+ damage and I had a limited supply of that unit. >.< I was quick to hit the reload button.

A word of advice: Keep your dragons a few hexes away from your own troops.

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
