[shovah]

sounds good, and ive remade my ettin after he got paralized and wiped out

all rounder:
blood thorn
any decent weapon/shield (the twin death spear is good)
accursed shield
sun helmet
amon hotep
fenris' pelt
winged shoes
soulstone of the wolve
he has 3 sleep vines, usually 2 attacks, can fly, gets a huge number of wolves, has around +5 awe and a huge magic resistance

horde:
blood thorn
accursed shield
insert shieldname here
amon hotep
sun helmet
fenris' pelt
insert boot name here
soulstone of the wolves

idea was making him as survivable as possible,
another cheaper but less potent option is an abomination with amulet of regeneration and soulstone, hes quite cheap and takes alot of punishment (and then theres gift of health...)

also i had a nataraja sometime but cant remember his equipment atm. all i remember is that he took out a huge number (i think it said he had around 2500 kills in the HoF) phantasmal wolves/warriors before going down which i was happy with since he didnt cost too much to kit out (i dont even think he had soulstone but i may be wrong) and this was way before i understood alot about the game/magic items

edit: my if you can give my originally posted ettin a defence boost then give him blood thorn and hell sword and he will chew through practically everything,

27 magic reisistance+ 5 awe+ 2 lifedrains+ 3 sleep vines means the only thing that gives him problems will probably be things you can lifedrain from (you cant drain from undeads and construcks right? i may be wrong)

since normal troops succumb to the awe and life drain whereas other SCs are taken out mainly by sleep vines and fianly the high magic resistance makes him near immune to magic.

i justed testeed this vrs 5 astrologers casting paralize + 125 PD and 30 elephants on his own nothing worked on him (i fear the undead test i will do next)
