Normally I would say: don't risk using Frighten with giants cause of thier bad squad morale (due to low squad sizes). But if you have Beserked woodsmen I guess it doesnt matter

Skele spam + darkness is very effective against the giants. Counter it with your own undead.

In water, Maelstrom is the best gem producing spell, with the exception of Arcane nexus (you get 27 gems per turn), wolven winter/murdering winter/leprosy/your cold domain work well together.

Blood, dark vines is easy and consider immortal vampires.

Try to get a armour of twisting thorns--->blood thorn/brazen vessel. Also try to get skull staff/skullface. Having those will open up lots of spell options for you.

One annoyance with Jotunheim that I've run into is that you've got these great early thuggable commanders, but no early armor for them. No earth, fire, or air magic, so the first decent armor I found was at Construction 6, the breath of winter armor (Whatever it's called.)

Plenty of other gear, though, and Jarls have decent armor already.

Also, be aware that although the Skratti's werewolf form makes a good thug, he'll change to a wolf after the fight and lose most of his equipment.

I hope Badaboum is a mighty dragon. The Lawgiver wishes to make a crown of dragon bones to impress the masses at the high sermon in the Temple of the Land.

All Hail the Lawgiver, Lord of Light!

well, i think the lawgiver is in for a big "Badaboum" surprise

Well I am starting out in a new game as well and tried out some strategies..

2nd turn, my army moves off to conquer a neighbor and guess what attacks my home? A vampire and army.

Fortunately the castle defenders are able to hold off the undead.
LOL

Also was able to use my priestly skills to good work to come back and break the siege.. that was an eye-opener start for a game.
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the good info.
