Winning w/o a SC???

To PvK: you might have misinterpreted my strategy.

1. Knights, although they're heavily armored, also have high defense skills, around 16-20 if I remember right. They can consistently dodge the Jotuns' attacks while their own blows are almost guaranteed to hit. Knights are also stronger than normal men, and their lances are a big bonus.

2. When I say men with heavy weapons are good, I don't mean heavy weapons AND ARMOR. If barbarians didn't have such crap morale, they'd be perfect against Jotunheim, whereas the expensive Zweihander, while also having a huge weapon, would suck, because you can field less of them and they won't survive any longer.

To Torlin: Guerilla does mean retreating, in this game. You can only tell them to retreat, stand and fight, or fire then retreat. Either way, they either fight and die or run away. It's not an RTS, you don't have direct command over anyone. Also, there are no supply lines in this game to cut off. The only benefit you get from surrounding someone totally is that they die when they retreat. All Jotun units have two strategic move, which is huge for anyone with 13+ protection from armor. They can and will catch any of your guerillas, probably except if you were Caelum, but I don't play the birds a lot.

To Huzurdaddi: Satyr are cuter

Edit: Think "Zergling" instead of "Zealot"
