Actually, by the time you can see them, it's too late.

Too many minotaurs!

Seriously, I think I've lost 3 games early due to unfortunate misuse of Labyrinth.  :P

Is there another use of Labyrinth?

The word misuse implies that Labyrinth has a proper use. :D

Or, rather, it implies that "cause hilarious game loss" is an improper use, which I dispute ;)

*Continues gleefully playing*

What spawns them? A woe? I've played a single tutorial game, got to turn 45 when I hit the 12000 mark score and then I was just pushing End turn End turn End. By turn 90 the score was 30000 and one of the sides was reduced to a single half destroyed town with a handful of units. This was done by an Ice Giant with zillon of health roaming free.  I'm guessing that first it crippled the factions economy by  destroying some vital buildings and then it went downward from there.

What spawns them?

The Norse faction can spawn them with the correct resources (incense is the most difficult to obtain). I wasn't aware they spawned randomly.

I'm still not sure what "Woes" are, I obviously haven't encountered them. But from everything I've read, they sound bad :D

Hm. I definitely did not do it manually. Only if they come out of barracks or something...

Ah, sorry, loaded the save: mine was different it was frost giant and it was a bandit too. It had 10x health from a token that I placed =) That explains a lot =)

dum di dum.....

Yggdrasil, that sounds fun. Casts and forget about it. Fiddle with some other things.

Clicks end turn.

WHY DOES THE GREEK HAVE 300+ UNITS?!?!

Combine Yggdrasil and Eldhrimnir.  Watch as the Norse suddenly have 600 units, and cannot move anymore.

Midgar's Serpent is still my favorite, though.  BOOM!
