That's not because of the HP, it's because Niefel Giants are sacreds with good stats and have chill auras. Try expanding with 60 HP of Jotun Hirdmans and see how much fun that it. :-/

EA Ermor will probably have to either 1.) rely on elite units and/or sacreds for expansion, or 2.) send multiple commanders. Perhaps both. Honestly I think most non-bless nations would have trouble expanding with just a single commander.
