Can't agree with Gandalf that Nief should be a defensive nation: in my opinion you want to take a heavy bless and do a blistering expansion. By the time anyone can compete with you you should have a huge amount of territory. Sounds like squirreloid disagrees though.

I've fought in a couple of games against E9N9 giants, and they really do make you want to cry. They are very hard to hurt, due to high protection. They heal anyway. They never get tired. They never flee, since they go berserk. And if you don't kill them almost immediately, all your troops will fall asleep from the cold.
