That is crazy indeed.

Lesse. I was playing commander battles, (You have commanders only, 5 PD, summons, no units), playing Agartha against Helheim. Agartha has a bit of an edge here, just because Smite is an incredible spell in commander battles, and my god was a A3S2 Awakened Wyrm, intended as an early SC. Fairly early in the game, my god got in a bottleneck with an enemy cyclops, and neither of us really wanted to attack eachother. I attacked a nearby water province, then pulled back in, but the Cyclops attacked with about a dozen Vanherse.

In an incredibly improbable fight, the 5 PD backup (who should have been completely worthless) managed to successfully rush and kill several vans. The Cyclops rushed my Wyrm, and this was before I had research to where it was supposed to be for the Wyrm Cyclops fight (The original plan involved Mistform and Body Ethereal, then winning a war of attrition due to poison. Helheim lacks the nature to resist poison well). The Wyrm then takes down the Cyclops and the other 9 vans in melee, largely due to poison, without any spells.

The best part? When the cyclops was resurrected, it came with an affliction. Lost an eye. Its still fairly early in the game, and now that I have the research I need, I can march on the capital.

Back in Dom2 days, in my first MP game (I played Aby), I started a war with Stray Sax who was a good player (he played Machaka), and he attacked me with Cyclops and teleported Al-Khazim on my unguarded sages province (I had about 25 of them there, they produced most of my research). I was pretty unfamiliar with game mechanics and forged several eth crossbows as their 999 damage seemed like an ultimate weapon for me. I don't remember now, but probably Stray had no MR gear on Cyclops, because he was killed with the second shot by some heroic Hoburg champion who guarded that province supported only by pd, and Al-Khazim was duelled by one of the sages (I think third or fourth), that weren't scripted at all. I was able to more or less drive him back after that.
