Hmmm, I will have to try the Magma Children route. I just tried 33 E9N8 Bless Niefel Giants v. 78 E9N6F9 Agartha Seal Guards. The results? Zero Niefel Giant casualties, all 78 Seal Guards dead within a few rounds. This is really farcical; no national unit can remotely challenge the Niefel Giants in head-to-head combat, because of the horrendous Cold Aura effect. The Seal Guards had may be 2 turns of swings each before they froze and were thus rendered ineffective...
I've tested the other big guns against Niefel Giants, and even the Hinnom giants didn't last very long and took very few Niefel Giants down. |
I ran two battles against Nief giants (N9E6) as Agartha (F6W9N4) in a newbie MP game. I got rushed about turn 10, and fought a battle with numerical advantage (about 30 v 15) in my heat-2 Dom. The quickened Seal Guards and Ancient Ones dealt more damage than the Niefs could regenerate and I won comfortably. However, I fought a second battle later (about 40 v 25-30) and no heat, and my army was crushed with I think just one dead Nief.
I would certainly say that Magma Children might be a much better route for Agartha against Nief, although I never got my little burny ones into combat with them.
