    One of the "side effects" of MTW. You send your king/prince/best general to take part in the glorious conquest of Cyprus and they succeed, though during the victory celebrations near the docks, the king/prince/best general leans upon a mouldy rotting, worm and barnacle infested support that is holding up the dock and the whole lot falls to bits. The celebrations are cut short when the army, having forgotten how to use a row boat and oars, realise that they cannot leave the island and are now marooned until a new port can be built...

    Or...

    Your men, having imbibed slightly too much the previous night, accidentally charge the port instead of the enemy... knocking down the castle and rebuilding it in wood on the way, while chopping a few storeys off the local brothel in the process....

    Or...

    The local "downgrade militia" appear on the scene:

    "bad luck I'm afraid! The citadel fell to bits so we're going to have to downgrade you from a town militia to a town watch and, as always, knock the port down..."

    "what the hell?"

    "the law's the law sorry"
