Jotunheim giants geared out to brawl?

[Edi]

Aquatics can forge bows, just not use them underwater (with the exception of the ethereal crossbow).

The trampling boots make the giants not use melee attacks, they will just trample. They can be hurt the same as anything else, if they get hit. The sword of swiftness helps boost defense, so that's good. They won't use bows if not set to command 'Fire'.

[Gandalf Parker]

If I remember right, trampling is for things 2 sizes smaller than you? So your giants will stomp into a swarm of things close to their size and have a problem.

[Edi]

No, one size smaller is plenty good. Minotaurs are size 3 and trample infantry just fine.

[Hugh Manatee]

So the stompy boots are negating the advantage of the sword's 2 swings or will he use both if the AI determines it should attack rather then trample? I can forge him the boots that ake him run faster too I suppose, maybe give him hold and attack rear orders.....

[Edi]

What part of "does not use attacks if it can trample" was unclear? Obviously trampling only works against smaller targets, so against equal sized or bigger targets it will use the sword.

[Hugh Manatee]

Actually you'd be surprised whats clear and unclear after spending 9 hours inside an unairconditioned warehouse in texas full of dusty, greasy, sticky, chewing gum covered Wal-Mart guts and fixtures.....

[Edi]

Ouch! I feel for you. Though spending six hours on the phone sorting out the net connection problems of computer illiterate people can have a remarkably similar effect...

Sorry if I came off as too snappish earlier.
