Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In our recent 5-player game of Terra Mystica, we enabled fan factions and utilized the fast auction feature. The Firewalkers faction was selected, known for their unique ability to convert victory points into terraforming actions at a specified rate. Terra Mystica's inherent asymmetry is balanced through mechanisms like the auction system. One such implementation is the "fast auction," allowing players to assign relative values to each faction, with the auction process managed by an algorithm. Consequently, players cannot fully dictate the absolute amount of points bid.
However, the nature of the Firewalkers' ability can lead to precarious situations. Despite their potent ability, bidding heavily on this faction may result in players finding themselves with insufficient points for essential terraforming actions, particularly digging. This dilemma arises when the remaining points dwindle to a minimal level, or worse, reach zero, rendering the faction practically ineffective. Such occurrences can significantly disrupt the game's balance and integrity.
While I don't have a definitive solution at hand, this issue undeniably undermines the game experience. -
