I've had quite a few goblin civilisations on Dwarf Fortress barely survive a constant onslaught from all sides, thanks to their demon lord single-handely winning every battle, despite the goblins always suffering heavy casualties from every attack.
But then some stupid idiot goes ahead and murders this demon lord who is unkillable on the battlefield, thus dooming their entire species. All because murder is legal in the goblin civilisation (and is also usually the reason everyone is at war with them).
Now how does a single goblin manage to pull of what no army can? Who knows.
What I do know though, is that single goblin usually ends up dead by the next invasion.
