I actually like that there are many good site provinces nearby to start this game. Hopefully it will allow me to get some good gem income going early and the income levels also seem to be decent. Also, these forest provinces seem to be a great population level (most are about 7k) for blood hunting and being so near my capital and in the corner of the map should allow my growth scale to help offset the pop decrease and keep the hunters safer.
I recruit another Niefel Giant and 1 more Jotun Spearman.
I send Starkader the scout on to (216) and Tunne the scout to (180).
Vaklidun with his winter wolves (1 per turn while in cold province), Gotvid with the 8 Jotun Axemen, 1 Jotun Spearman, and 1 Niefel Giant and Freke my Jotun Gode prophet head to (208) to attack. This seems to be the easiest surrounding province and should have around 45-50 defenders based on the reports. Hugin the Herse will stay behind to bring more troops to the next province.
I set the Axemen, Spearman, and Giant in the middle of the placement area with hold and attack nearest orders. Vaklidun is set at the rear top scripted with Quickness, Breath of Winter, Air Shield, attack closest. Gotvind will cast Quickness, Breath of Winter, attack closest and is set at the rear bottom. Freke is set to cast Divine Blessing, Fanaticism, and (cast). It is my hope that my giants will absorb any missile fire with their shields until buff spells are cast, then all will meet the charging enemy at about the same time.
Angerboda will continue to research Alteration with 13 RPs.
