Well...talk about an intimidating game!

Yes the poor fella was the Father of Winter ... was countered in the end (oh for a couple of mammoths ).

The biggest problem being big is being big - your opponent can always script "attack large monsters" and your poor pretender gets a right shellacking.

Cold aura caps out at 24, I think. Stack a Niefel Jarl with enough cold-enhancing items and other stuff (Rime Hauberk, Breath of Winter, cold scale 3) and he stops getting any increases at 24. He'll actually ignore the scripted Breath of Winter because it won't add anything.

Ahhh, one more mystery solved. "why is BoW ignored *sometimes*?"

I'm playing the EA giants race, whose name I will not even attempt to spell correctly, and I have a giant with a chill of 25 there after casting breath of winter.

I would suspect that there is not a cap. Instead I think that what Edi was trying to do was akin to wearing an item that enchants the wearer with Breath of Winter, and then trying to cast it on the same unit, which is why they ignored it. I want to say that the Father of Winter that Lazy Perfectionist had attained higher than 25 cold aura, but I can't be sure.
