Re: Help, read all the faqs, playing demo, dont know how to PLAY...
The reason I list Jotun as a good choice for people who play defensively is this...
People who picture rampaging armies of giant warrors arent likely to make it happen. The gold, resources, and feeding of such an army makes it nearly impossible.
Jotun has the best defense in the game. To withstand the "Call of the Winds" attacks from Caelum and "Call of the Wild" attacks from Man I tend to need a defense of 11 for most nations. Just buying a defense of 6 is pretty solid with jotun.
For those reasons and many others Jotun seems to work well if you use the giants for close to the capital or support/backup (like a few giants likely mixed into a squad of other troops). Then count on provincial troops and mercs to do most of your fighting (in my humble opinion)
