What. The. Fuck.
Oswin is a moving tank. He's got brilliant defense, and doesn't get doubled as well (unless it's shit lke myrms that do double 0s). He gains access to axes upon promotion, which makes his attack even better. Honestly, the only weak thing about Osw1n is his mv, but he can always hang back and kill off reinforcements (like C14, the one with Raven and Lucius IIRC).
Wow touchy much.
I wasn't implying that Oswin was bad, merely that the lords are better than him.
