Winning w/o a SC???

[Torlin HalfAxe]

Hello folks, I've been browsing these forums for about a week now, and I've recently ordered the game. The AAR's have been very informative and the guides have been well written, many thanks from the heart of a new guy!

To get back on topic, I have seen a lot of people talk about their SC's and how they get them/equip them and when they are the most useful in-game.

So this leaves me wondering what other feasible strategies are out there besides using an uber-character???

Are there ways to combat one without having one of your own?

I also have seen many topics on people using Jotunhiem, and I have yet to see one of them lose! What are some strategies on defeating the giants?

My first thoughts on this are to have an army that is more mobile, avoiding the big fat giant armies and cutting off supply lines, hitting weaker areas---guerilla type tactics. Yet if I want to play a Dwarf type race, what are my options when facing an SC and 30 giants rumbling down on me?
