Overengeneering a theorethical maximum of Glory
Posted: 15 July 2026, 09:20
Hello there fellow Blood Rage enthusiasts!
As of recently i have wondered: Is there, in out perfectly balanced game, some way to gain absurd amounts of glory and what would be the absolute maximum one could reach?
Just to clarify, i am talking about a engineered cooperative game with the explicit goal of getting as much glory as possible on one person and not some boring realistic game
And i came up with some interesting strategies, like having a blessing player repeatedly pillage a province with a Valkyrie of yours, or a repillage strat with the frost giant, or even using other players as "quest storage" utilizing Loki's poison.
Bud these all the the glaring weakness of being finite.
Then it hit me, that you could just get infinite glory with the following setup:
Player 1: Max Axes, Tyr's prowess, frost giant, Thor's ascension
Player 2: Frigga's Protection, Loki's trickery
Player 2 initiates a pillage in any province and reveals Loki's trickery, using the rage to protect the figure of his from being destroyed.
Player 1 reveals Thor's ascension and gains 3 rage, one is used to keep the card in hand, one to go to P2 and one is surplus that can be used to to some ship or frost giant re-pillage shenanigans.
Please feel free to correct me if there is any flaw in my system or if you have own ideas on this topic,
have a nice day and see you in Valhalla!
