    Talking Exatordinary Mistakes of the Past

    When we are noobs, we make some mistakes that qualify for no less than the term "EPIC FAIL!!!"

    I just now saw a post made a month ago by someone I knew for a while.

    [unknown] okay i followed all your instruction on how to make npc, but i can't seem to find my city with all my heros at? plus the city i just made still there.
    [unknown] what did I do wrong?


    (important notice)
    When attempting to help someone on how to make npc, make sure he understand to abandon city from his main or second city and not from his newly made city.


    I was cleanning low level npc by capturing and then teleport them to enemy territory, however i have forgotten to send my hero and and troops back home and realized only after i npc it lost a high politic hero then.

    To keep y'all entertained for a minute or so... I will admit to my extraordinary mistake of the past. I consider I've only made one serious mistake in battle to this point. It was a doozie. My alliance had spent many weeks facing WAAAGH, who to that point had pretty much collected the best players from all alliances on the server that they could encourage to join them. I had survived Machiaveli and Payman on my doorstep, and over 20 million troops thrown at me (was quite a lot back then), while losing a small fraction of my army. I was becoming a little complacent.

    Sammuel was barking at me, as usual, and had decided to attack my main city. I had been farming heavily that week and my archer count was running low. Sammuel, from less than 10 miles away, launched two waves of 100k cataphracts at me. I did not have the army to kill them, so I moved my entire army, in the space of a few seconds over to my second city nearby. During that move... you guessed it... Sammy had launched another 100k cataphracts and several 10k pony waves at my second city. I saw the attacks coming in but didn't give them a second thought. I always had my gates closed on all cities but my main, so he would simply plunder some useless stone. While I watched the parade of attacks hit my city, chuckling to myself at the pointlessness, I switched over to my second city and to the troop tab to check my army had all escaped the original city in time. It said no troops. I checked army movement wondering if they could accidentally have been camped for the journey. No movement. I... hesitantly checked the rally point of my second city.

    ... I had left the gates open. My entire army had been moved to a city with no abatis and curiously open gates. Not only had Sammy finally got his prize, I handed it to him on a silver platter.

    My single worst mistake in Evony history and the only time I was ever wiped out. git. As we whispered, chuckling about my noobability, we struck some common ground, traded respect, and ended the discussion amicably. It marked a change in relations.

    Well, I guess I should put out my biggest blunder. On server 72 (now ss22) I considered myself to be a fairly decent player, not the best, but definetly not a noob, thought I had the battle mechanics down.

    I was in alliance KOA, and Headshot and W.m.D. were on our doorstep. A couple of our members decided to attack a Headshot member, and I decided to show off my 200k cavalry (it was a lot at the time). Well little did I know I misunderstood the battle mechanics and proceded to epic fail, because I didnt wipe out the traps and abatis.

    They had a good laugh at my expense and I crawled in to a hole called the Forums and discovered my blunder.

    The most noobish thing ive ever done is worked for a whole week to get the resources to train an army bigger than I had ever had before, after getting all of the resources I spent it all training my epic army...okay not so epic, 6000 warriors exactly.
    I went to bed with a sense of satisfaction and pride, woke up saw so many refuge reports and 5000 dead warriors, I was ever so devastated.
    However after failing so epically at this, I didnt give up and tried again, and again, and again until I got it right, and that is the best thing ive ever done while playing Evony, made a stupid noobish mistake and kept going anyway.
