Hello everyone, heroes and heroines! :) I suggest that, if you wish, you share in this thread about the blunders, mistakes, and fails we've made in our beloved game! The idea came to me after an important match with Roman (Javdet) played in the OFB tournament. For those who don't know, in that match, after breaking through the Hive's defenses with some effort, I nobly chose not to take its contents (i.e., the 8 beloved ducklings :smile01:). I almost messed up because of this papal move! Let me explain how this blunder happened. It's very simple: I connected two level 1 Kentaur units and, on autopilot, pressed "OK," assuming the ducklings would automatically join them. But that didn't happen :eek:. I hope this thread will be of interest to the community, and if not, it can be deleted. I won't be upset.

in one of the games, I think against Hermit, I misclicked instead of upgrading the archers and deleted them.
Also, once I deleted a town with all its troops and once with all the artifacts (totaling +50 to stats).

Когда рестартов не осталось, обязательно ждите Гурниссона без балисты:D

Many players probably experienced this: you run around the map with wings, which have a movement penalty, and then switch to a cloak that gives +2 to speed for overnight stays. And on the next turn, you bulldoze through the terrain in the cloak.

not bad)

Many probably had this happen: you're running through terrain with a movement penalty on wings, and for the night you switch to a cloak +2 to speed, and on the next turn you bulldoze through the rough terrain in the cloak.

Well, regarding leaving artifacts on the town's watchtower, I think there's no need to even discuss it :D

Stinger's performance at CIS-11: on turn 111, he built demons; on turn 112, he upgraded the demons (thinking they hadn't been built yet); on turn 113, he fell asleep in his chair.

During CSG-11, Stinger built demons on turn 111, upgraded the demons on turn 112 (thinking they hadn't been built yet), and fell asleep in his chair on turn 113.

Something definitely went wrong :D :D

Maybe Artem was on some kind of performance-enhancing substance? :D Or just sleep-deprived?

I laughed about that for a long time. You just had to wake him up and say: "Artyom! Are you going to build demons or not?!" :D
Although, I've caught myself thinking the same thing.

Не шукайте краще, а шукайте своє. Адже краще не завжди стане твоїм, зате своє - завжди краще !

I used to enjoy taking my time, analyzing the situation (especially when facing difficult opponents), planning out the battle, positioning my units strategically, and instead of just pressing the spacebar and attacking, I would skip a day.

Among those that aren't legendary (like splitting equipped bracers, on your own territory, forgetting artifacts in chains, and so on), the main blunder I remember from my early days playing as Conflux. In translation, probably "Huts" — the buildings don't display their upgrade level. As a result, I kept accidentally upgrading either Ice Elementals or Fire Elementals. In the end, the Phoenixes just won't rise...

Also, I used to often get annoyed in Dragon Utopia when the enemy rushed straight into my first stack and I ended up wasting my own troops on the retaliation (same in Dragon Fly Hives).

And I won't even mention misclicks. (I had a mouse that made me lose 30-40% of games, damn thing... double-clicked every other click.)

Good mouse, though. :D When you start to fall asleep while playing, your fingers relax and press the mouse with their weight, and in random places – you wake up and try to understand what happened, why it was needed, and how to get out of this situation. :eek: :confused:

I put on the Cloak of the Shadow, playing as a Necromancer, in the most important match of the CIS tournament, in the finals, and this was the only chance for my opponent.

Sometimes you just click by accident (when the hero's speed is set to high) and accidentally send the hero somewhere... with a slower speed, you can still stop him when he's moving. )))
It happened to me a couple of times, but not more than that. In fact, it's like losing a day. ))
