MP: Morla MA noob game (running)

I did not try yet, but I guess a vine shield would help in that situation. throw in a firebrand with its AOE and you should loose.
Fr me thats a quite common equipment on my thugs.

Other possibilities: take body guards, or a mage with protection high enough to stand the skeletons,summons also will help

Well, the big problems there were:

1. I can only forge frost brands at the moment. To my knowledge, frost brands are ineffective (or less effective) against skeletonspam.

2. He got a Herse, which I generally don't even bother outfitting as they're pretty mediocre unless someone else can bless them (and then I'd rather have a Jarl bless himself and go at it).

3. The big weakness of giants in this situation is their size. Since every attack towards a unit reduces their defence, he can glob more guys onto my giant commanders and win via attrition (those skeletons will hit eventually).

That said, I do have stuff in place now to help against that, but I can't talk about it now (for obvious reasons), and I'm not sure if it's going to be the silver bullet for that strat or if it will fail utterly.

I don't think thats important. If you only have one unit it can be attacked from all surrounding squares. Regardless if it is a Jarl or an Hoburg.
