influencing 2giants

By sserre, in Runewars

as stated in errata map tile 2A should have 2 giants placed on it.

What is was wondering is that when trying to influencing these two giants, do you have to influence them separately or one time for both of them, because i think its really hard if you can spend 6 influence its worth it to get two giants in your army.
isn't that to overpowered? why should you try to fight them? You can go with two sheep units to go influence them and they are in your army.

Am i missing something here?

You always do diplomacy for the whole group of neutral units at the same time. The cost is the same for 4 giants as for 1 beastman.

You are not missing anything except perhaps that 6 influence is a substantial amount and there are a chance that you do not become allied (39% from a newly shuffled fate deck).

Although 2 Giants are very good to include in your armies, the 6 influence could be used in a bid to gain a dragon rune for example and that is often more worth it.

Agreed. The only time I've spent that much on ANY diplomacy attempt is if I have a ton of influence AND the deck is low enough where I know that spending that much will nearly guarantee success.

While having a Giant on your side is nice, sometimes it's just as easy to fight it to kill it or force it to retreat. It's all about playing the field of what's going on "right now" :)

As others have said, 6 influence is nothing to shake a stick at in this game, and the price paid for something should be considered when trying to determine if it's "overpowered." If you get a really powerful pair of units by paying a really steep price, that's not overpowered, that's fair .
