I've been using a lot of trolls in my last few games, and have really gained some respect for their regeneration ability. The great thing about regeneration is not the tactical map 1HP/turn recovery (although that's nice to have), it's the army's immunity to attrition. When the AI throws some random creatures at your stack and nukes you with a couple fireballs, your dead units spring back to life, fully healed, after the combat is over. I've been building stacks of trolls who rampage around the map, continuously at full strength after every battle. In my current game, I think I've only lost 4 units permanently.
I've pretty much given up on using trolls as a capital race, but their cities make great recruitment stations. Who cares how unhappy they are, as long as they keep cranking out the war trolls?
