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

[Baalz]

It'd be a shame if this thread got locked due to a completely inane flame war. FWIW I feel this is a completely pointless thing and nobody should feel the need to defend me nor continue this discussion in any way. Feel free to continue the discussion about giants if you have any questions or comments. If anyone just can't contain themselves, please move it to a new thread.

What a crazy thread.

Thanks for the guide Baalz. I'm looking forward to having a go with Nief sometime, and it'd be fun to do it differently than just E9N9 giants.

WTF was all that about?

No matter, I like your very unorthodox guide, but isn't it more applicable to MA Jotunheim? As I recall it's basicly the same nation but without the big nasty giants, although I'm not sure if they have those shape shifters.

They don't have the Skinshifters. Which is a shame. They'd make a great asset to Jotunheim, while they're kind of overshadowed in Neifelheim.

The Skratti stuff certainly applies. The rest not so much. The Skinshifters give you easy expansion, which Jotunheim lacks.

come on endo, we all know that hardly any idea in any guide is really new, they game is old enough by now so everything has been done before. Having said that the advices in this thread are different that the usual first repons pplz get when asking advice for Niefel and it wouldn't be my first thought either. So the introduction was pretty accurate (with a lil over acting in it.)

As much as I like HB I do think he could have better just posted his guide seperately in another thread without any comments to Baalz, or just added his idea's in here (which he did) without any clear critism on Baalz.

I think it's clear there are many ways to play most dom 3 nations. For Niefel I personally think going bless might still be the best way really, but Baalz' idea's (yet I know they aren't all, maybe none, his original idea's) and Honey's idea's are valid options too. All strategies can be used, so let's all just get on with it.

I expect a new thread with a new Niefel strat to be posted soon to prove my point

LOUD NOISES!

There were too many guides written in a short period, so I have been digesting them all slowly, I think this is pretty awesome stuff, and I think it is pretty innovative, in that you see comments and suggestions and tactics all the time, but no one has ever melded all of that into a cohesive strategy that starts with "don't take a major bless with Niefelheim".

Oh! I should contribute something useful, too. I think it's a fun idea to wait on Illwinter until all 5 globals are already up. Then you cast with 500+ slaves, and it's sort of like playing Russian Roulette on Christmas, everyone's going to get a bit pissed off, but one person more than the rest!

[JimMorrison]

Also, I don't know why people keep trying to erode the correlation between post count, and post content. I mean, obviously people who say more things, have more things to say. And people who have more things to say, obviously have more good things to say, than people who don't say anything - as they obviously have nothing worthwhile to say at all!

There's an old adage that goes something like - "It's better to say everything that you can, than be silent and be thought a fool."

In closing I would just like to say, that I do believe that werewolves and human beings can coexist.

[Tifone]

This of course doesn't apply to me that, with what, 1200 posts now? Didn't ever say anything useful (sorry!)

Is the Illwinter global any good btw?
