The disaster bug would've destroyed all and left an invisible army behind... so I don't think it is.. still tough luck..

The disaster fix makes the max intensity 90%. Lucky Monkian got the jackpot

I once lost a 8 star general and 4 well-developed governors plus a large number of freshly recruited reinforcements on the boat ride from Kart-Hadast to Mastia. A weaker pirate fleet won a ridiculous auto-calc naval battle and sunk my boats.

I didn't reload. I decided to man up and take the loss. I grabbed a new set of governors from the homeland, stripped another front of its developed military commander and recruited fresh reinforcements and put them all on a stronger fleet this time.

Naturally, Rome declared war on me one turn out to sea attacked my fleet - fortunately the fleet didn't sink. Unfortunately it retreated even closer to enemy territory than to my territory. Rather than tempt fate I did move_character on the fleet to my Iberian port, only because I could have walked them all the way to Lixus then made the short hop across to Gader but I was too lazy. Lesson learned.

Now all recruits, FMs and agents bound for Iberia from the homelands get to go on a year-long marching tour of North Africa.

Nice story Midnj.

I think my worse loss was when I was playing Epeiros.
I just conquered whole Greece with my army and planed to let Rhodos be.
But they assassinated my best general after they lost last city.

I was pissed and hell bend on destroying them.
So I send my fleet to check out defence on Rhodos.
It was all good, no strong fleets so I just went for it and try to ship my elite army to this island.
Of course I was attacked in the middle by pirates and lost 80% of my elite silver chevron army ( other 20%, cavalry was retraining ).

It really pissed me of, but I didnt reload.
Of course later I made not so hasty invasion and slaughter the town.

It felt good.

Similar story with Baktria. My first youngster matured into a fine young general, I think he had 3 influence and a scroll or two of management, all the right sttributes to be a significant governor or general. he was a lad with a bright future you could just tell.

I put him in command of a nice stack of 10-12 (nothing too flash but it was what I could afford) and sent him off towards Kophen to conquer India.

First turn out there was a massive earthquake and the entire stack was wiped and the general gone. Worst of all the paltry fellow I allowed my daughter to marry a few turns earlier and who wasn't worth sending remained inside Baktra unharmed.

Its all good.
