Whats your most unlucky moment.

[azz505]

Hello everyone.

I couldent find a thread saying what your most unlucky moments were so i decided to make one.

I'll start off.

1. When playing as Egypt my leader died on the second turn.

Have fun.

[Dash]

When my best general and faction leader died trying to push into a heavily fortified castle. I had worked on him for a long time too...

Lol, that happened to me in my Egypt campaign too.

Also from the Egypt campaign :

I put a family member and quite a lot of troops to a navy(a reasonably good navy for early game) to capture Tripoli. I send them to the sea, do other things in my empire and hit "end turn"-button. A byz navy shows up, engages, my fleet retreats after being defeated near another byz fleet,same thing happens, and my fleet retreats defeated near third byz navy that kills the fleet, my army and the general onboard. Damnit Byzantines, he was a 4-star bloodline Night Fighter for Christ's sakes !


Also, had another "coming of age", sent the guy immediately with a large army of my current best troops to capture Jerusalem. What do you know, he goes instantly rebel at age 16, along with the large army. After I recovered from his insolence, I tried to forget him and move his father(and 2 arab cavalry and a handful of Desert cavalry) from Cairo to reinforce Acre. Midway of his journey, his rebel son attacks him , so I retreat,but the horrid rebel youth chases him, attacks him again and since I couldn't retreat,the Rebel guy slaughtered his own father in battle(well not personally, but still, quite cruel) . My forces(and dignity, not to mention!) were cut to shreds and I sent a few cav units to "assassinate" him while gathering enough strength to engage the bulk of his forces face to face. needless to say, he survived all these attempts and got even stronger as a result.

Right before his final battle against his uncle, Nasser the Mad, he was 19 years old, had 10 command stars,was quite a capable night fighter and had a "Dread Knight" in his retinue(I don't know how he got that but would like to know). What a waste.

E: and in my old England save, when I wanted to move my King to Caen, he was burned by an inquisitor the very next turn after he got off the boat =/.

A cannon ball from my bombard bounced off the inner wall of a fortress and killed my general who was chasing down some fleeing archers. Up till that point I didn't even know cannons could bounce off of walls.

In a multiplayer game my general was killed by cow parts flung from a trebuchet. Talk about demoralizing.

[townie33]

playing as sicily i sent my heir to attack the city on the island of crete (i cant spell the name ) because it is a crusade target. Before he takes the city the king dies which makes him the new king. He captures the city and then sets sail back to naples in a large fleet. A byzantine navy, who were my allies, attack his fleet which runs away only to be attacked again which destroys the fleet and kills the king, game over within 30 turns!!!!!

[azz505]

Thats unlucky.

Here's another one of my unlucky events.

I had two armys (this was my full force, includeing kings and all royal blood lines) setting out on their first cursade set by the Pope to capture a city.

So... i though a boat would be the fastest way and thus get two boats to put both armys in and i travel them together incase of another faction attack. Ending the turn.

And now next turn a storm spawns on both my boats and kills half my troops on both boats.. and the rest leave the crusade becuase of lack in progress.

i was playing the vanilla brittania campaign as scotland, i had a 9star general that i was planning on attacking england with. i get to my border and he goes rebel with a full stack of units. i got my revenge though.. after wallace emerged and i destroyed half of england i ran into him, wallace was in his mid 30s and my old general was now pushing his mid 50s, wallace had a full stack of modern troops and the old general still had the full stack of beginning ones. after destroying most of his his men with my army i sent wallace alone against him. wallace won but it was a hell of a fight

[zeuxis the mighty]

so im winning a battle with the french by a lot with my 8 star Danish King leading the battle then right when i was switching targets to charge my king at the artillery, said artillery fired a large stone which crushed my king. needless to say after the battle i spammed huscarls, viking raiders, and norse swordsman and annihilated every last french province. the good thing was they were excommunicated so the pope supported my actions 100%

[saglam2000]

in my byzantine campaign i went into a battle with the starting emperor. i outnumbered the turk forces (they had like only 2 units of spear militia and 1 group of horse archers) i charged my emperor who had a bodyguard wtih 26 men (small unit size) and silver chevrons. i loose 2 men and one was my great emperor. i should kill myself for playing with the byzantines.

[Monsieur Alphonse]

Playing Denmark in the Teutonic campaign. I started this game to check if the patch worked so I didn't play at my best. Hamburg was attacked by the HRE with two stacks. I attacked with one stack containing all my generals but one. They all died except one who became king. I had an other general with an army heading to Visby. Next turn the remnants of HRE armies attacked Hamburg. My king was killed by his own archers. I won a heroic battle but lost the campaign because my family became extinct. The general near Visby was only a general and not a family member. Game over in some 20 turns.

[Adhamh Ashashi]

Most irritating chain of events.

1. I send my faction heir to take Crete. Sea storm kills him.
2. His brother is made new faction heir and dies 3 turns later taking Sinop.
3. The King is 59 and with no adoptions available he dies of old age.

That= End of Kievan Russia

[Leutrim]

Killing my own general with arrow fire. You can imagine how peed off I was.

[ckmucha]

I had an army of all musketeers and Cross bow men and some horses..

I though i turned off skirmish, but it was fire at will. So i fast forwarded it..

And by the time i realised it was too late and they were killing them off

(with good foot Knight type units)

[locc2]

I canceled a lengthy and difficult siege battle (castle) when I thought I had won it, but I had not, ONE enemy soldier was remaining. Not unlucky, just stuuupid.

[Guard_Commander]

My best general was killed by a monster bombard

[locc2]

Coolio.

[Retribution]

My best general was killed by a monster bombard

Exactly the same thing happene to me.

[Orisian]

I was about 90 turns into the game, playing as England I had their last few castles besieged and their king was just mindlessly rraoming around the campaign map, so I get my 9 star general with about 5 units of Retinue Longbowmen, 9 or so units of Armoured Swordsmen, and 3 units of Feudal Knights. I charge my general and the Fuedal Knights to kill off the french crossbowmen, everything is going great until I call my cavalry back and my entire bodyguard unit gets massacred by my own stakes...

[Viking Prince]

This may be my luckiest moment -- kinda anti thread, but in the spirit of the topic.

I just completed a short campaign as Sicily. I am at war with Venice. Egypt, and the Moors. Venice is at war with me, the Byzies, Milan and Hungary. The Moors ask for a ceasefire and agree to give me Algiers. the next turn Byzies take Crete, Hungarians take Sofia, Milan takes Venice but loses remaining nobles and is now out. Sicily is at 14 territories and Ragusa contains the last Venician noble (now ruler) and no troops but the bodyguard. Sicily takes, game, set, and match.

Oh and HRE has been crushed by the French and everyone else. The last settlement, Florence, falls by the pope.

Weird ending to a short campaign (about 60 turns, no blitzing or sacking of catholics; Retrofit Mod)!

The army that composed about 3/4ths of my whole military power went crusading with my hopes and dreams and got blocked on the way. Then the general died and i forgot about them. Happy Desertion and massive upkeep!
