I dunno if this belongs in a WTf moment thread, but, as Aegon the Conqueror, I subjugated all the other kingdoms but Dorne and the Iron Isles (I was replenishing my strength) but a Peasant revolt triggered in the Crownlands (it was a one or two county revolt) with about 4,000 enemy troops. So I defeated them with my inferior force thanks to the unfortunately repetitive "Use your Dragon in battle" and sieged their lands. So I used the also redundant "Use your Dragon during the siege", a special punishment for subjugated traitors of mine. But something went wrong...
With a 2x Duel modifier, a Valyrian sword, a Dragon, 37 Martial against an enemy with about 10 Martial or so, no Valyrian sword and a Duel modifier as well (I don't remember the exact details of the enemy but you all understand that Aegon was clearly gonna win), Aegon the Conqueror, the King of the Realm, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, etcetera, etcetera, is outright slain in Personal combat by the aforementioned lowly count at the ripe age of 30! What gives?! He was craven and lost the Just trait though, does that affect combat in any way?
Simple the dirty peasant shit cheated. This is why Westeros needs feudalism, because the small folk are evil bastards.
