Woodsmen are a poor choice in bang-for-the-buck, unless you are playing a bless strategy. They are quite fragile, compared to other choices, and expensive.

Yes, I realise this. I only use them if I find resources to be a problem. In my Last game, I could recruit 6 woodsmen and two axemen in one turn, as opposed to just four axemen. But if gold is a problem at all, they're not really worth it.

Jotunheim will always be resource-limited. But, IMO, a key to playing Jotuns is building quality troops, not quantity. Jotunheim doesn't really have cheap troops (resource-wise), nor cheap enough to be treated as fodder. So if you aren't going to build fodder, then make sure that each trooper counts. Jotuns are kind of like an entire army of elites that crush with disdain anything that gets in their way. The only things you have to be concerned with are knights (and heavy cavalry), Ulms, and anyone that can swarm you at 4:1+ odds (beware of Ermor).
