Inspired by Baalz' recent guide on Niefelheim, I just added superskrattir as a recruitable unit for Niefelheim and its descendants.

(For some reason that I'm still trying to work out, the troop versions appear as wolves and not werewolves.)
It's true these guys are slightly too strong--natural prot synergizes with berserk better than armor prot, and these guys get the Quickness bonus to att/def but could actually cast Quickness on top of that. I don't figure that will matter though, against the AI, because he probably won't be fielding nearly as many as a human player would. 700 gold is my wild guess at how much gold you're losing out on by collecting enough blood slaves to forge Baalz's suggested equipment.
I've been looking into Amos' angel nations recently, and Aezael's dragon nations, as opponents. I'd rather do something like this, though, which is within a nation's capabilities even if the AI usually doesn't do it.
