I had an epic fail once with Hayasdan, trying to take the town to the north, Mtskheta it's called. I sieged the town, waiting for the garrison to sally.....but then they didn't sally properly! Only one unit of Georgian swordsmen came out (although some of their men were running round in circles in the town square for some reason! The rest of the buggers just stood inside the wall! I had to try and break in the front door, since I hadn't built any rams (not expecting to need them.) And getting in that front gate was darn near impossible, the starting Hay army has some really crap spearmen who couldn't fight their way into a brothel, let alone an enemy town. They were getting themselves butchered by the Georgians, and in a towering rage I sent my faction leader in - who did quite well, until he got himself killed by the enemy general! My remaining spearmen then became a bunch of wimps and started legging it, I tried to use my other young FM to cut the cowardly swine down, I was so angry I wanted to kill my own routers, but the game doesn't let you attack your own troops, a severe oversight IMO!

never been there but been angry enough particulary with phallanxs when i loose batles because the dumb asses can´t get their crap together and block a street after 5 minutes trying to deploy :\

anyway in such situations i expect you to have done it in the 1st turn so no biggie just restart but remember to cool off go out with friends for some beers or else you might get a tad nervous when trying to avoid your previous mistakes and your fear will make you phail again ... creating a hay playing phobia
