TotalWar Superstitions

[Tamur]

All right, this may be a little bit of a weird topic, but let me explain...

Back in my MMO days I somehow ended up being in guilds whose leaders had an inordinate number of superstitions about the game. If I was going through a specific dungeon on Thursday, they'd tell me it had better loot on Fridays. If I was at a certain location killing beasties, they'd tell me to walk around the obelisk three times and then go kill the beasties, and I'd get better drops. etc etc. A lot of these. I think they had been passed down since beta versions.

Are there Total War superstitions like this? Strange things that people do before or during battle that they think will help them win?

The only one I think I ever held was in Shogun. If I clicked to order my first unit to attack, and the battle music that started was the one with the drums, I knew I'd win no matter how ugly it became.
