I've got a question.

So the card 'repeater bolt thrower' (high elves) says: spend X resourc tokens to deal X indirect damage to target opponent. X is the number of developements in this zone, and it should be put into your battlefield to use this ability. (No restriction on how many times to use this)

While 'outpost of tiranoc' says: whenever you deal indirect damage, deal one additional point of indirect damage.

Now that means that I could activate RBT 400 times in a battlefield that is completely developement - free, with each time doing 1 (0 + 1 from OoT) indirect damage. This would obliterate my opponent with a ridiculous 400 indirect damage caused by a two card combo!?? (If the rules of these cards have been changed, please let me know)

I am new to this, so maybe emailing FFG would be good, or looking for errata in the FAQ on the FFG invasion page.

No, that would not work. At least in Conquest, in order to spend x of something, something must be spent. So since you didn't spend any resources, you can't trigger the combo. That applies to all x costs.

For example, in Conquest, the card Clogged With Corpses is 0-cost event that reads: "sacrifice x termagant tokens you control to destroy a support with cost x or less." To destroy a 0-cost support, you could not sacrifice zero termagants to do it, since none were sacrificed. The same goes for this card.

This is correct. You wouldn't actually 'Deal' any Indirect Damage in the first place so the Outpost of Tiranoc wouldn't work.

They FAQed that card to "once per turn". Monorail.
