Very friendly fire

[peoplescavalry]

So i am laying seige to sauron and a full stack with my dirty dwarves when another full stack of late model orcs attack me, and i am losing badly when flaming troll catapult fire wipes out sauron brilliant! went the day well for me. Thing is next turn there was no mention of the mighty lords demise, you thought it would have made front page.

i guess they were too emberrassed.

I'd just feel lucky to be honest. It's the kind of thing that can save or destroy an entire campaign.

Yeah, I guess thats pretty much why the Empire didn't go public about the details when their first deathstar got blown up.

"Well, uhm... Hi and welcome everyone to this Empire Emergency Bulletin. Well, as you all know, there has been some rumours that the Empire's new superweapon the Deathstar(TM) has been destroyed by outnumbered Rebel forces. Apperently, the Imperial Engineers responsible for the construction of the Deathstar missed a tiny, otherwise unneccesary construction flaw, wherein there was a giant hole that went directly to the powercenter of the Deathstar, enableing a single X-wing to blast a torpedo into the otherwise perfectly impregnible and massive Deathstar. Our great and magnificent Emperor leaves no comment at this moment."

I think the Mordor Post official version would go something like this;

"Rumor goes that a misfired troll catapult stone destoyed the Dark Lord's physical form yesterday. Bearded lies all of it!
Truth is that when Sauron, bad almighty, had stomped asunder more midgets than can be counted for in three lifetimes, praise His dark name, He considered the conquest of Middle-earth to be far to easy. He wanted more of a challenge and thus can not accept to particiapte in body any more. When He saw the first best approaching catapult fire projectile Sauron, the Evil onslaught, jumped right into it. Like a boss."

Lord Sauron. Headbutting catapult's stones, because he just wanted to.

 

[Bobz]

Hehehe that's just something that makes you day

Nice report btw

 

[Lionheart_19]

The same thing happened to me. I had less than 50 gondorian troops still fighting, and they killed Sauron with their catapults. Laughed for 30 mins loool

i would say that the editor in chief of "The Darkness Journal" deserves a raise

After the announcment? Not much beside some adjustment from Sauron's Propaganda Ministry.

(and a thanks from me to all who enjoyed and considered me Mordors answer to Joseph Goebbels/Bagdad-Bob )
