Same for Woodsman, morale is not an issue. Against giant PD Pikes are probably good, but so is most anything.
Early age isn't the only era with giants. Jotunheim in Middle and Late doesn't have Niefels, Ashdod will use giant troops a lot as well, and there are some size 3 units with a single attack and no trample that pikes work against. Well, at least I think so: Pale Ones of Agartha aren't used much above water, Minotaurs trample, size 3 Abysians have high prot and often dual-wield, Caelians lose in melee any way... Perhaps Shamblers or Cave Men or other easily massable independent big hitters.
