Best way to lose a battle...

[Rookierookie]

F6D6N6 Lord of the Summer Plague vs Oceania chaff army sieging friendly fortress of 200+ chaff. Pretender equipped with Unquenched Sword, Vine Shielf, Bone Armor, Boots of Caius the Druid, Wraith Crown, Ring of Regeneration and Elixir of Life, 540HP with GoH, Awe +2.

Pretender attacks and annihilates Oceania army. Oceania routs, but 50+ units stay on battlefield due to fatigue. Pretender runs around bashing heads of unconscious chaff.

Battle reaches turn 50. I lose battle.

And that was not the best part of it. Because the pretender had gone berserk, he didn't rout, and at the end of the battle died. Elixir of Life never kicks in, of course.

I think I'll reach for the "Create New Game" button.
