Re: "New" Pythium and the javelin throwers in general
Don't forget the gladiators. Not something used a lot, but they can make a big difference in some situations. Also, the Principe are great.
Yes, Ulmish troops have more armor, and giants are tough. But Ulmish troops are slow, have weak morale, and cost loads of resources --> slow to produce. Giants are expensive both in resources and gold, and have supply problems & increased vulnerability to spells like curse, blindness, etc.
Principe have strat move 2, good armor + tower shield, javelins, no moral problems since you got standards and good priests. Very cost effective, in both resources and gold. What's not to like?
