This is a very simple mod that replaces the vanilla Giants, Mammoths and Dwarven Centurions with Super-Duper versions. And yes, I MEAN Super-Duper!

WARNING: THIS MOD MAKES GIANTS AND CENTURIONS EXTREMELY TOUGH SO BEWARE!
(Low level characters will probably have to sneak or run past them, since they'll have no chance to win in direct combat!)

※ Random Giant attacks from Hearthfire are disabled in the versions that contain Giants, since the Super-Duper Giants can wreak havoc to your homestead now.

<Features>

Giants and Mammoth: Health increased to 5000, Stamina also greatly increased
Giant Skills: One Handed/Two Handed Skill increased to 100+
Giant Club: Attack increased from 60 to 300 (It can now one-hit-kill most NPCs), doubled its stagger effect
Dwarven Centurion: Health increased to 15000~22000 depending on the type, Stamina also greatly increased
Dwarven Centurion Resistances: They are immune to frost and poison, 25% resistant to magic, and 50% resistant to fire and normal weapons. Their only weakness is shock, to which they are 50% weaker. (This will apply to most Dwarven Automations, which I think makes sense.)
Dwarven Centurion Unarmed Damage: Increased from 100 to 700 (It can now one-hit-kill most NPCs)
NEW FEATURE: Dwarven Centurion Steam Breath is replaced by a new spell, which is a combination of Unrelenting Force and Fireball. 
Spell Damage: Increased from 100*1 sec to 30*5 sec.
Additional Spell Feature: Very powerful Unrelenting Force effect, will launch anything in front of it high into the air. (You'll see your character ragdolling
  across the chamber a LOT if you're not careful!)

Now you'll need some very careful planning before dealing with these foes. Prepare your best gear and spells, take a bunch of elite followers, LOTS and LOTS of potions, and march on to tough glory!


Comes in 3 versions: Dwarven Centurion Only, Giant Only, and All-in-One!

THERE'S ALREADY A PLETHORA OF GIANT & MONSTER MODS. WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS ONE?

First answer: Simplicity.
The very reason there're so many Giant mods now may be precisely the reason something as simple as this mod might be needed.
This one is so simple it's less likely to cause any bugs, and is extremely easy to merge with other mods via xEdit.
I don't expect many users to use this mod the way it is (though it works fine by itself), instead they can tweak it however way they see fit.

Second answer: Unhinged Super-Duperness! 
The Giants and Centurions in this mod are probably far tougher than that of other mods. I figured, since these creatures only spawn at remote fixed locations, it won't break the game even though I made them incredibly OP. (Unlike dragons, which when made OP, have high changes of killing a bunch of unique NPCs since they tend to randomly spawn anywhere.) Giants and Centurions are fearsome, but you have total control over when to fight them (well, except for those random Hearthfire Giant attacks, which is why I disabled them), so I figured they were the perfect choice if I wanted to make a Super-Duper version of a vanilla foe.


<COMPATIBILITY>

Not compatible with mods that alter the vanilla Giants, Giant Clubs, Mammoths, Centurions. (The mod that gets loaded later will override the others.)
But it is very easy to tweak it with xEdit(Tes5Edit) to use along with similar mods.
Just open both mods with xEdit, compare the different values between the mods, and copy the values you like to the lowest loaded mod you opened.


<UNINSTALLATION TIPS>

This is a very simple mod which you can install/uninstall anytime without much problems.

But there is one thing you should be aware of: Since NPC(including creatures) ref data is hard-copied into the save file, traces of this mod will still remain for a while even after uninstallation. Creatures that were once loaded in your game (=creatures that were in the same cell as your character) will keep their increased health stats until you either kill them or they get reset after several in-game days. All respawning creatures afterwards will return to its original stats.

This doesn't mean uninstallation won't have any immediate effects. Even though the 'loaded' creatures may keep their health, their attack stats will revert to normal right away and they will lose all of their new spells instantly, drastically decreasing their threat level. So you'll probably won't have much problem fighting them now. (They'll just take a bit longer to kill than usual.) Thus you probably won't have to worry much if you think this mod might be too tough for you as uninstallation can always be an option.
