Re: Yet Another Hinnom Guide
 

Thank you your comments & suggestions. I shall try to be more relaxed & confident in my dealings with the opposition :)

Jotun giants has both lower defense and attack skills. So the warriors will finish them before getting attrited down to much.

Another problem is routing too soon. Try to increase morale - mix in a few sacred serpents, and cast Sermon of Courage. The elite warrior also has the bite attack, and with higher morale and attack they should do better than the slave warriors - if you have the resources for them.

As a sort of tangent to this, what do people recommend for weapons for thugs to use against giants, either Jotun or Hinnom type. The standard Fire/Frost brands don't seem as useful when there's only one or maybe 2 units per square. Would a high damage AP (or AN) weapon be better? Or one with multiple attacks? Shadow Brand has potential, but it's expensive and spreads the damage around.
What am I missing?

Armor negating I think. Gate cleaver (29 AN damage), quickness, attack bonus (ring of the warrior or burning pearl) should make quick work of most giants.
