Niefelheim - Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

I won't bother responding to the rest of your post, because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but in the future, you might try making a reasonable argument, rather than just blindly sputtering.

I think I did a better job of defending Baalz than you did, sad to say.

Going back and reading both posts again, I really see very little similarity between what Baalz wrote and what you wrote, outside of using Skratti. The only undead he mentions are vampires and ghosts (actually, the only summons for that matter). And he doesn't say anything about using the priests or the scouts. Really, there's almost no similarity whatsoever. You mention boosting their province defense, which he doesn't really talk about at all.

You say you did a better job of defending him, but you were the only one attacking him. I don't understand why you took so much personal offense to what was, in my opinion, a very good guide. Most people see Niefelheim and think strong double bless, and use the giants. I even remember a post where someone mentioned it was a shame that they had skinshifters, because nobody ever uses them. And (which I think was the impetus for this guide) I recently read in another thread where someone mentioned if there was another way of playing Neifel, and another poster said ignoring a double-bless with giants isn't something that could be done and is playing against the nation's strengths.

So I really think your attack (which it was) was a bit out of line. If you do have a new way of playing them (like this guide presents) please create it. As it stands, you sound quite petty.
