Giants and Titans are level 7 creatures of Tower town. They are recruited from the Cloud Temple.

"Giants and titans are immune to spells affecting the mind. Titans do 150% damage to black dragons, can hurl lightning bolts in a ranged attack and suffer no penalty for hand-to-hand attacks, making them the most powerful ranged attack unit in the game." ^{RoE manual}

Titans are one of the two upgraded tier 7 units that occupy one hex, the other being Arch Devil. They are also living constructs, being able to be resurrected, unlike golems and gargoyles, but similar to the Crystal Dragon.

General Tactics and Info

Giants are very unimpressive 7th level creatures, and may not be worth the gold until your Cloud Temple sees an upgrade. Titans, on the other hand, stand strong as one of the most powerful creatures in the game. If your hero happens to be an expert in earth magic with slow you will be able to dismantle a majority of neutral creatures (with the help of mages) before they can land a blow. Additionally - with their mind spell immunity, Titans will not fall prey to the forgetfulness and berserk spell. Even in melee combat, your titans should lead you to victory in a wide range of combat match-ups. Also, a hero with Archery as a skill would be good too.

Trivia

The ability to "burn with anger" and do extra damage to black dragons is likely a reference to 3DO's previous title Heroes of Might and Magic II. In that game, the Wizard and Warlock were widely considered to be the strongest heroes and there was some debate among players as to the single strongest 6th level creature. It's also probably because they are supposed to be the opposite of "chaos", the black dragon, being created by the wizards with the scope of slaying them.
