Personally, I find it really funny and fun when things like that happen, even to myself. I like playing through even such goofy mistakes.

I just have to say, this is what is great about Dominions. Little things that you arn't looking for suddenly taking you by surprise. Hence, the love of MP.

But, if next time you want perhaps a better idea, you can try the widely availiable Magic Item Quickref back when I was ambitious. Find it here on Arryn's Dominions site. She has kept that thing alive and up to day despite the somewhat haphazard nature of the community here. The site is also chalk full of maps, mods, and other cool things to try after the basic game/map lose their luster.

LoL I have had that happen a couple times, but never to that degree. That item list is awesome, I have printed out most of the references available...but unless you memorize the list, or look up every item when you build it, you will still get surprises hehe.

Hmmm... Aseftik's armor is cursed? I seem to have a commander of ulm with 28 prot. Any suggestions?
He was going to be used as a courier...

Cursed items have a very high chance to be picked up when their owner dies in battle. Just make sure it's the intended next owner who finds it ...

Ah, yes, I remember my army of Abysian demonbreds outfitted with an eye of aiming apiece so their big impressive fire spells would actually hit something one in a while. And what happened to his brother officer when one of them died...

Solution: Fill the other misc slot. If nobody has a slot to put it in, they can't pick it up...

Not always easy to plan like that.
