Re: Are Niefel Jarls too strong?
I'm starting to think that "Smite" is too strong. I lost an army of a heroic prophet Jarl and 5 giants in +3 cold friendly domain to a few Marginon crossbows and their 5-holy prophet and a mage... Marginon kept paralyzing my giants (hit one with paralyze 30, and one with paralyze 23, both of which seem to Last forever.) 2 got permanently paralyzed, and all the rest got taken out by smite. They were berserked and regenerating, with 66HP and over 23 protection... and smite takes them out in one hit!
I actually won the battle, because all my units died except one who was paralyzed... my army was "routing", but he couldn't move due to permanent paralysis. He regenerated faster than the crossbows could damage him, and had 99 morale. So, after like 20 turns of him just sitting there not being damaged (he was too far away for smite, I guess), I stopped watching, and was surprised to find out I had won the battle, considering I had only a single unit that was paralyzed and routing.
But, yeah... getting my $500 heroic regenerating berserked prophetic jarl and $600 worth of giants nuked in the first few turns by a wimpy prophet... makes me not want to use them anymore=)
