Default Re: Are Niefel Jarls too strong?

All niefel Giants have an extra powerful chill effect (base area of ca 15 instead of ca 5).

Of course, ideally, it would make sense to require armor of the right general size for the creature in question. No fair using human-sized armor on a giant, nor vice versa, and giant-sized armor would require giant-sized amounts of resources.

Another important detail about the Jarls - they enter the sea and alone are able to take the provinces, very important in games without the aquatic races.

Naturally. Though the trample boots will still only help you against things smaller than yourself...
