Stepped on the elevator at Toro Bend and took 180 fall damage, after mutants had already nearly killed me while I was running back from the LifeNet bunker.

And then I fell from orbit, but it's cool cuz they went all Darth Vader on me and I was fine.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

Stepped on and shot at landmines because I didn't know what they were.  Thought they were frogs doing the breathy thing.

Sayonara, MZ the Samurai.

You were killed by an Uruk-hai on DL5 because you forgot to pack food and fainted in the middle of combat! Well done, dumbass.

Brave crewmembers Bill, Bob and Jebediah Kerman died in the name of science after an impeccable orbital transfer and subsequent not-as-impeccable deorbit left them as a small crater on the moon mün.

I was reducing throttle, but I accidentally pressed space, which sent the boosters flying at the ship.

Playing a mod that improved AI for both the players units and the enemy.   After about 3 days I finally realized that the enemy AI improvements were off by default so I turned them on.

I got absolutely WRECKED next fight stupidly charging a Rhodok(sic?) spear wall that actually knew how to use their spears against cavalry.  Fortunately I outnumbered them 3 to 1 and my minions were both not mounted, and not stupid, so the fight was won, but I still had to recuperate back at Sargoth for two days and lamed a really expensive horse for my poor judgement.

You can't say something like 'better AI' followed by 'Warband' and not explain.

Sorry, oversight.  Pre Battle OD is the mod.  Donno how popular it is since I'm new to the whole M&B mod lists, but it seems pretty comprehensive.  Apparently enemy archers will sometimes fire in volleys with that too and my nord allies seem to be more interested in attacking from high ground than charging into a meat grinder the moment the fight starts with no regard to what I'm trying to do now.

Odd thing with it though is that it seems only certain nobles will actually use those fancier manuvers like bracing spears to meet a charge, or volley firing arrows.  I have a feeling it's based on the lord's tactics skill.  And there does seem to be a sorta buggy edge case where both sides of an encounter will go defensive and not actually approach eachother, forcing the player to do a bigger chunk of the fighting.

Went into a hospital, noticed everyone had starved into zombies, ran out to the National Guard outside to kite the zombies to death. Went in again, got chewed up by stronger zombies, down to 3HP, ran out again to the National Guard, and noticed they were gone. Last I saw, they lost at least one guy, and their seargent and most of the rest of the men weren't looking to good either. So I ran around trying to dodge zombies, when one surprises me in front and hits me. Dead.
