Collectible Card Game Headquarters

When I see a parameters message just before a CTD, it's usually of the 'bad parameters' variety, which seems to be a graphical display of what I'll find in the dump.txt. This 'wrong parameters' message is a little different and (although it preceded a CTD) a new dump file wasn't created.

I thought I'd share in case it's of any use. Feel free to delete if not!

I confirm this in dev too. It seems some issue with Intruder Alarm and AI logic, I only tested the scenario as the screenshot/savegame (but with one Intruder Alarm in play as it is enough for the bug to happen). I also tried with no AI code in card_intruder_alarm() with the same results.

The error produced in release from windows event viewer (though it is exact the same in dev, too):

It's a corrupt stack, almost certainly from some aspect of the mana elf/Imperious Perfect/Intruder Alarm infinite combo. (Don't give the AI infinite combo decks. It can't deal with them.) ai_opinion_of_gamestate_extended(), which 0x499807 is in, only has space for sixteen creatures in its local arrays and doesn't check to see if it's writing past their ends, and, at a guess, the AI's probably creating many (many) more creatures than that during speculation.

You should be able to see by now that this isn't telling us anything that the popup in the screenshot doesn't, and considerably less.
