Followed the comment below with a Keeper of the Bridge. went 5a 5e 7n with Larger and regen dormant. 6 cales and 1 order 1 productivity. It is a walk in the park. Never bothered with a NAP and was at war with everyone. Just crushed the enemy. Wasn't pretty. Just be aggressive.
I tried to play them as bless heavy Niefel, with heat scales, but the hole game i felt like superbrokespelheim. After you gain some forts, 99% of your population hating heat scales really starts showing. I started treating them as scales Niefel with better path access and it all made sense. If you really want to use your cap sacreds, you can just cast breath of the desert, or put up a second sun in the late game.
I think heat scales is a trap. Clearly a Cold Scales nation which happens to have a hot capital (but cap troops have skis). I'm not clear on how the heat aura and the ambient weather interact but I don't think it matters that much -your hot giants are still happy enough in the cold. You are liable to end up using a preponderance of Cap troops for a lot of the game anyway though because they're both really good and really expensive.
I think you can play them either way for sure. I think a lot of people miss how much of your economy comes from your cap for the most important part of the game (early). How you plan on using the sacreds also is a bit influence for this nation compared to most.
You seem to have been missing the giant's natural protection when checking the armour of each? Which is a significant difference! Total protection 18 on the body for the sacreds is incredibly different from the base 13 the armour is giving and you quoted.
Thanks for fire tips. If dormant regen no disadvantage how about switching the Air/Earth/Nature immobile with the titan that has earth natively. Can get same bless +2 with extra path air/earth and a spare scale and uses bless points exactly. Or sacrifice extra scale for Earth 6 and choice of blesses and again uses bless points exactly.

Just played several losing games as these guys over the past week. NOW I UNDERSTAND! thanks.
Let me know if it ends up helping!
@@BabelBuilder Very helpful! Trying to save current game going heavy summons.
And now from the beginning :)
Thank you for the watch time! ;)

Yes, natural protection is important, and can mean you do or don't value +prot or invulnerable!

I'll have to roll one up and take a look!
I don't think you can get away from Regen with the size of these Sacreds.. I want Recuperation too.
Regen is just so good for big boys. Nice that it helps a lot of other leaders too.
If im not mistaken if u prophetize the jarl his model changes. Into golden and horned armor
Interesting, I don't see any info in the inspector about it. Does it have any stat changes?
@@BabelBuilder nah just model change
the fire dragon can also be a solid awake expander, with a dragon scepter forging for additional fire drakes to fill out the backline for your troops
Drakes are so good when you have troops they can fire through.
The draugr summons are for water expansion. 1 pack can easily sweep any water indie
That is a great use for them!
Those boulders look like something where you need a lot all together or you're just wasting your time (and money)
You need a critical mass to be sure.
I use solar eagle for these guys
Oh, what bless do you like with him?
@@BabelBuilder some silly defensive bless and shock resistant
Illwinter's laziness personified. Its such a joke to call this a "new nation".
I wouldn't go that far, but the nation could use another polish pass for sure.
