What??? For real? Is meese the plural form? Gosh! I will say 'meese' a lot the upcoming week
The plural of the word moose is still moose. Meese is not in any of the official dictionaries I have checked.

A two-handed sword would make a really good weapon for a giant. A giant two-handed sword. Armed that way, a Niefel giant might fend off all these little pests, or cut their heads off if they are stupid enough to step closer.
That requires a very good quality blade, of course, not some crude blades availiable in the early age. Ah, the sweet tragedy of a whole nation - being so well-suited for wielding zweihanders and being extinguished long before these are invented!..

Are you sure KO?

If the plural of mouse is mice, should the plural of moose not be mice as well?

No, no, the plural of moose isn't mice, that's silly.

Reasoning by analogy:

goose:geese -> moose:meese

mouse:mice -> house:hice

I disagree that Niefel is the weakest heim, especially now that glamour is nerfed.

Firstly, the cold aura actually does kill people. It takes a while, but once it kills it kills a lot of people at once.

Secondly, who kills large numbers of enemy troops with *swords*? This is a magic game with armies - you kill the enemy army with Falling Frost, or Soul Vortex or the like.

That said, I agree that Niefel Giants are not that hot in the late game. They cost 150 gold for which you could buy an independent mage who could cast useful and destructive offensive spells.

However, the Niefel Jarl, at only 500 gold, is still a bargain! You can get way more of them than any equivalent thug chassis, and five of them at once, equipped with items, will devastate equivalent late game armies. And with minimal effort you can outfit them with winged shoes, and they switch to utterly unstoppable raiders with ease.

I should be clear that I am in-no-way calling for Niefelheim to be nerfed even a little bit. However, the other EA nations should get, I dunno, national summons or combat spells and things that make every one of them an equally fearsome proposition.

I really only play the MA. In the Big Game i have had to run several test games to scout out the various races I have encountered-and test ways to stop them.

It is my humble opinion that no race I have EVER seen compares to EA Lanka. my gawd, what a juggernaut.
