How do you fight the Niefel giants?

And if you aren't a nation with strong fire mages or sacreds that you'd want to give a F9 bless?

Curl up in a little ball and hope the giants don't notice you?

Bribe them to look in another direction?

Bribe someone else to look in their direction?

No matter if you have a counter to a rush or not, being rushed is going to slow your growth curve, its just a question of how it affects the rushers growth curve at that point.

Well, that leads back to a number of other suggestions that have already been made. Paralyze, Petrify, skelespam, Soul Slay, and other forms of battle magic can all be helpful.

And if you don't have any battle magic worth mentioning? Raid the heck out of Niefelheim, then try to convince him to pick another target.

And if you can't raid? Um ... try diplomacy. Make some friends!

And if you can't make any friends? Go AI and try again in another game.

I suggest you try the diplomacy before the raiding = )
