Earth 9 vs Earth 8 is *4* points of protection.
N9 vs N8 is more questionable, since it provides berserk, and since it costs a lot more (given your chassis is a Cyclops.)
It's true that Niefelheim is vulnerable to raiding; but this is true regardless of build. The best way to deal with raiders is to send out single Niefel *jarls*. They only cost money so the key is to cultivate a philosophical attitude about their death.

Um, you get the +4 protection from E8 and E9. The only thing you get from E9 is one extra point of reinvigoration. I don't think it's worth it to spend all those points to buy a free single point of reinvig for all your jarls when you already have +4. This is why I argue that it's worthless to spend those extra points on it.
I've always question your need to go to N9. I know you just won the sophistry game with that build, but N9 is very expensive. I'd personally rather just go up to N6 for 10% regen or N8 for 15%. I personally don't even like the beserk as it lowers the defense on your jarls.
When I played EA Neiflhem I went W8E8N6 with a crone. Or maybe it was nature 4
I can't remember. But I was very happy with that build. The quickness, armor, reinvig, and regen were all great. You have relatively small armies of high morale bless soliders, and a bunch of raiding giants.
Correction. This is vaguely like the build I used for the EA game I won with Neiflhem. I can't remember exactly what the scales were, but this leaves you with like 3-4 points leftover.
