Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

If heavily blessed helhirdlings get the charge nothing EA Tien Chi can throw up until late game(apart from maybe a very strong SC God like an E9 cyclops) will stop them.

I've never had a problem stopping them. Not only was I able to take out their armies, I was able to hold on to land, and eventually surround and crush them, without a hitch and in a very mannerly fashion. The secret was using mixed armies of something like 10 to 1 odds against them, having a good bless of my own,, building plenty of castles with loads of PD, and being every bit as aggro as they are.

HB, it might help put an end to some of the argument here if you could be clear that you're talking about SP in your posts. Like:

"I've never had a problem stopping the Vanheim AI. Not only was I able to take out their armies in SP, I was able to hold on to land in SP, and eventually surround and crush the AI player, without a hitch (in SP) in a very mannerly fashion (against the AI)."

I don't want to ban Helheim/Vanheim from games, but I do know I'll be trying out the CB mod in the next MP game I host.
