@Nevar - you're welcome. I'll add something about the ogre/rage ready once we know what to put. Let me know if you figure anything out.
@Zechnophobe - I bet more Edda are buggy but people aren't using them because most of them have penalties... feel free to test 'em all. :p Regarding the spider, I think all bosses have traditionally retaliated against everything and multiple times at that. I haven't been to Greenwort yet... does the story make sense that it would take away your troops? Maybe you get them back later?

Bosses would not retaliate against 'no retaliation' attacks, but they would retaliate like they were griffons, against every possible attack.

About Greenwort: Sorta, yeah. But I still am worried you could literally get stuck there, which makes me wonder if it is actually intentional.

[camelotcrusade]

@Zechnophobe - I see. I'll add the no retaliation bypass to the spider entry. It's probably intentional (otherwise why would it be happening?) but they'll know we don't like it. Greenwort could just be bad design... let me know if you ever get those troops back (and, though this is spoiler territory, at which point I should horde them elsewhere).

I cannot seem to get this quest to complete. I speak to Eric with 10 Berserks, 10 Axe Throwers, 5 ancient bears and 15 wolves. I do not know what is meant by vikings as I could not find any troops called vikings.

This is why I had 10 of the viking like units. I had first tried with larger stacks, but that failed as well. I would expect Soothsayers would not work as they may require too much leadership for 10 so early in the game.

Am I missing something or do I have bugged game? I have not been able to go into the Necros cave as I only have 4 teeth. The other cave was empty.

I noted that the map shows a "house of abc", but there is actually a shrine there. Not sure if that is what is expected or not. Cannot proceed at this point.

For your first point you need to bring him the level 2 viking unit that has that shield bash. Bring him 15 of those, there were tons for sale in my game. For the teeth I got one from Runorm the Seer and one from my dad (via dialog) after somebody told me to go and get it from him - I don't remember where I got the others (combat maybe) so someone else will have to say. That ABC house is probably the House of Jotun and you have to fly to get there (it's on my bug list but only as a courtesy... it confused me too).

[camelotcrusade]

@Zechnophobe. Well, another Edda bug. I have used Song of Midgard dozens of times and most often it gives the first unit in my army +1 morale. I guess that's what it means by "troop morale will increase by at least one." Which doesn't make any sense. Also, I've only had it work on the whole army once.

Can you test it too and let me know what you observe? I might add it to the bugs.

Makes me wonder how many of the songs work exactly as worded.

BTW thanks for keeping track of the bugs. It's really useful ^^

I have 4 of the teeth, just needed Eric's. I see the problem. The viking units look so similar to the axe thrower that I did not realize they were unique. Thanks for the tip on them being level 2 units. That was how I distinguished them.

[BB Shockwave]

Vikings and Axe throwers similar? They look nothing alike! The Axe Thrower is a huge bulky brute, half-naked, with a bald head and wields two axes. The Viking has a horned helmet, wears a scottish skirt, and uses a sword and a shield, also having a white wolf pelt on his shoulders.

If anything, the Viking and the Berserker look too much alike - they use the same mesh, too, imho. The best way to tell them apart is by the metal armor the berserker wears, and how one of his helmet's horns is broken off.

Losing troops after Spider Boss is a non-issue.

Greenwort is easily doable after that.
