jotunheim guide/advice needed

[llamabeast]

I've never played the giants, but I have played Sombre's Vaettiheim mod nation, which has the same vaetti in it as Jotunheim. They're surprisingly good troops. Being size 1 means they can really crowd in and overwhelm the enemy, and they have high defence and end up being surprisingly durable. It might be worth experimenting using them.

I think an SC pretender may well be a good idea, but strong blessed troops can be just as good to protect you at the beginning of the game. I don't even know what Jotunheim's sacred troops are though, so can't comment. But if I was Mictlan or Vanheim or someone else with strong sacreds, I think I would take an imprisoned pretender and a strong bless - probably more effective than an SC. But I don't speak from a lot of experience (I normally play nations without much of a bless strategy, with good scales or a rainbow pretender).
