pity agartha ain't amazing vs other nations

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.
