Population Control
There are several measures put in place to keep the norn population below twelve, although some can be altered.
Note there are few such restrictions for grendels, ettins or shee populations.
| No. Of Norns | Effect | Source | Details |
| 8+ | No norns can be imported | Hard wired | Even recently dead norns are counted, as long as they are still in the norn menu |
| Hatchery closes | Scripted | Eggs can still hatch in the wild | |
| Incubator shuts down | Can be by-passed by 24 Norn World cob or by using Egg Unpauser | ||
| 12+ | Females
can't become pregnant |
This may be
true but you can get multiple females pregnant when there are 11 or less norns. This can also be bypassed by the 24 Norn World cob |
|
| Eggs in wild won't hatch | This can't be bypassed by using Egg Unpauser cob, but can be by No Eggs Birth instead, which makes them give birth to live young. |
