During the final mission, I was building a bunch of Tempest-class experimental battleships(which suck by the way), with myself helping the Aeon support commander that's given at the start of the mission(Rhiza is best girl; she gave me not only the S-Com, but a
Galactic Colossus. Fletcher just gives you a bunch of bots with his S-Com).
While building those, an enemy Czar(giant flying saucer) flew over and started rapidly destroying the Tempests already built(I did say they suck). I sent my own
three Czars to counter it. I was looking away at the time it happened, but I surmise that my Czars decided to fly into the collision box of the enemy Czar - they do this to themselves if you order multiple Czars to move without dragging a formation for them. It seems that live Czars, possibly all aircraft but I haven't thoroughly tested that, have no collision to anything but hostile weapons fire. It's when they
die, then they can crash into something. So, when the enemy Czar died, it hit my Czars, killing them, and sending them down.
Did I mention that my ACU was right under them? Yeah, they crashed into me, killing me instantly as well. My last save was before completing the first mission objective, even before I finished building a Paragon(infinite resources, because Rhiza is best girl) and a Mavor artillery gun because of (spoiler:) {
Fletcher's obvious and inevitable betrayal. The Mavor killed him quickly. Not before he blew up a bunch of now-useless(because of the Paragon) generators, though.}
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. The funniest part is HQ's reaction to my death. It can be summarized as "Are you there? Oh, you're dead? Well, shit. HQ out."
That huge beast is called a "Crag Linnorm"
"Linnorm"(
linnormr) is an old Icelandic word for a wingless dragon-like creature. The word became "Lindworm" in old Germanic, though Chrome's spellchecker says "linnorm" is right but "lindworm" is not.
Yar, you got gat by a dragon.
EDIT: Got reamed by Cynthia. I don't think I've had a flat-out loss like that in a mainstream Pokemon game like that in years. If my Empoleon had managed to survive her Garchomp's Earthquake, I might have been able to one-shot it with Ice Beam, but alas, I got gat by a dragon.
Also, a total lack of Grass-types on my team probably didn't help. Probably also doesn't help that, besides perhaps Cynthia's Roserade, there just aren't any decent Grass-types in the game until after you beat her.
Probably could raise my own Roserade, I've got a Roselia sitting around. Plus, my Rapidash needs a much better physical Fire-type move than Flame Wheel. Apparently it's just a few levels short of learning Flare Blitz, which would have been a massive improvement despite the recoil.
