dredknightI remember back then I had some issue with NCF_180.pak creature. I do not remember what was it but I left it as it is. Also I do not know how NOIADE works so not completely sure what change made it crash.
Never a one creature from NCF has been tested by the NOIADE! So the bug that you mention does not have anything to do for the functionality and specifically the calculation methodology of the NOIADE!
However, I admit the thought that various combination of certain abilities causes insurmountable conflict in the core of the game!
