Bildebig; the giant defender

Another spell a mage should ensure is in their starting line up is Bildebig. Whereas Fortificus builds up defences in towns and at the gates, Bildebig allows a mage to cast clockwork giants to guard the roads that connect towns to each other.

Giants have the ability to jump around the board in an effort to position themselves to block the spy. The calculation a spy needs to make: find an alternate route or  push past the giant in combat.
