Summary0011426: Cauldron Plus Yggdrasil makes massive Norse Spam
DescriptionSee attached save file, this is after I spammed a bunch of norse tokens. The dwarf is part of the problem, but using Norns to get Cauldron and Yggdrasil makes the game... a bit silly.

Perhaps units from Yggdrasil are not eligible for Cauldron ressurection?

Tokens are supposed to cause chaos. Something to be used with caution, not reckless abandon.

Norns mean free tokens and free critters, for 5 turns! Im testing things, suddenly there isnt an open space left on the map.

EDIT: Did you open up the save? Lol

No. You have to set up profiles for each player's saves if you want to load them up. I've been busier helping reproduce fatal errors.

All I was saying in my comment was that you have control over these things. Be careful to not shoot yourself in the foot :)

Didnt know about the profiles.

That save has red units on almost every single tile on a large map

I'll check it out now since I looked at your other save.

I could use a good crazy laugh :)

That was worth a laugh. 700+ units just for the Norse... you must hate the Greeks :)

Separate note:Chris, if you see this, the save's name is so long it doesn't fit the window in the load game list. I added screens to show (res: 1600x900).

I'll have to fix the savegame thing at some point in the future. In terms of the red units on every tile, I don't see that as a problem at all. You've basically just lost yourself the game by doing something that's not a good idea, right? That seems plenty acceptable to me, and in keeping with the rest of the game. There might even be some crazy woe that is coming that might make you want to do this in advance, then do something else once the woe comes out. (Heimdall's horn, for instance, after some major threat is taken care of).

In other words, the more arbitrary rules we make, the less creative players can get. In this case, the situation is certainly ridiculous, but it's not game-breaking or anything. You'll have one heck of a time actually living through this!

Okay, actually:

* The game no longer lets you create savegame names longer than 20 characters.

Actually I won that game by using Norse actions to add land tiles and building more Greek cities and spamming mythological critters.
