Wow, that really surprises me. I thought I had to be missing something. The Nomads seem so much better than the Giants.
- the giants can only use two spades. So they can use one spade on two different terrains or two spade in the same. And they were not oblige to change the terrain in home terrain. And, if the terrain need three spade to be change in home terrain you will not have your home terrain (you need to make an other action to use one more spade).
From reading the text, it appears the Giants are obliged to transform the terrain into their home terrain ("transform a reachable Terrain space into your Home terrain.") Also, for the Giants all terrains require 2 spades to transform, so the 2 spades will always be sufficient.
I don't believe they can use 1 spade on one terrain and 1 on another (for no effect). I also don't see why they would want to.

You're right QBert, they can't. Only 2 spades may be used by the Giants, and only on 1 space per turn. If they receive 1 from the power action or the bonus card, they can use workers to gain the 2nd needed one, and then that is it. I don't believe they can ever get 3 in a burst. If they get 1 during the Cult bonus time, it is wasted and cannot be used. They can never do a partial transformation, they don't use the terraform wheel at all. There aren't any spades pictured on it even.
