Dud units / monsters / summons

I have a rather controversial one. I would say the basic Niefel soldier (the guy with the axe, not the jarl) is a dud. Yes, they're extremely tough troops, and yes, they're sacred, and yes, they can be *used*-in very large combats, and to support PD, but I wouldn't say they're very use*ful*-and they're the only Niefel troop you ever get besides the Jarl. What's the point of that? Why not more variety and interest here?...

Try seeing what happens when a bunch of Vans (blessed if you like) fight a wall of Niefel giant soldiers. Unless the Vans have cold protection somehow, after a couple of turns, the Vans will be frozen into unconsciousness, and then chopped into chum. So will just about anything else that isn't cold-immune.
