Default Re: Commander Battles

I'm not trying to talk about strategies for commander battles here, I'm addressing your point that 60 HP of giant units is worth 250 HP of regular units for expansion and that therefore human nations are still at a disadvantage. Aside from blessed giant units I don't think that's true. 6 Principes have lower Strength than a giant unit, but they also have 6 times more attacks and probably better defense because of tower shields.

How many unblessed Jotun Jarls does it take to conquer an indy province of 50 heavy infantry? I'm guessing at least 6 but I don't know for sure. That doesn't seem worse than Ermor.
