New units and items: Good? Bad?

[Tianx]

Just wondering if anyone has done a guide for WoTN yet.

Currently I am only on the first 4 islands, here are some units that I like so far:

Jarl: Pretty much the none heal, none rez version of paladin. The "Cleave" and "Cry" ability are pretty weak though. Relatively low init, but works good as tank. Decent HP per unit.
Soothsayer: Decent CC and at least has some kind of rez for Vikings' units. The mesmorize ability is good for anything other than undead. Weak attack though. Decent HP per unit.
Axe-thrower; Short range shooter but decent in hand-to-hand. Relatively decent HP per unit. Good init
Skald; Good for support but relatively weak in combat. Low HP per unit.
Slinger: Nothing special
Berserker: Double counter is good but nothing else really shines.
Vikings: Good strike units, plan to loss a lot of them in the fights though.

I just started to see a few Jotun pop up, might try them soon. Feedback plz
