Salamanders? I remember their attack being a breath weapon, but then I played lizardmen back when they didn't really have an actual army book.

Slann are just the lizardmen's mage kings, they aren't a faction in themselves.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Laser snakes? The closest thing Lizardmen have to a siege weapon is the Solar Engine, which is some weird magic bullshit that the skinks have repurposed as an impromptu death ray and strapped to a heavily armored ankylosaurus. Basically, think luminark of hysh that can defend itself effectively in melee on grounds it is strapped to an ankylosaurus. Not gonna be surprised if it doesn't make it in, it's kind of in an awkward design space.

The oldest and most basic model of lizardmens monster is a triceratops with a howdah fullf skinks manning a giant now. In most recent army books it can be upgraded to two giant poisoned blowpipes, which is weird and hilarious.

Terrorgheists are supposed to have a ranged scream attack that makes men drop dead on the spot out of fear, but in game they just have a ton of AP damage w/terror. Not that that's a bad thing, Terrorgheists are basically everything you could want out of a unit. e: Just to be sure, you can't confederate when you have a military alliance unless the dudes you have an alliance with are at war, right? wiegieman fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Mar 7, 2017 |

On one hand, Isabella and her army of vampires is hilarious. On the other hand, every other faction is going to feel horrifically weak by comparison now. Easily the bloodiest fight I've had so far, and the game must have agreed because my co-op partner (and host) crashed immediately afterwards. Lucky me, I get to do it again

Ravenfood posted:The high-end Bret knights also already exist in a faction that has access to vigor loss reduction. Not losing any vigor ever is a buff to that, definitely, but either you're missing out on a great red skill early or you're wasting those points later. There's a cost there, but if you did spend those points, it isn't that huge of a jump like Grimgor's skill would be. Is that a good red skill? It only reduces vigor loss by 15% with three points invested. I'd call it situational with dwarfs (due to it working well with their fancy merc longbeards giving out vigor regen) but otherwise kinda garbage.

KPC_Mammon posted:Is that a good red skill? It only reduces vigor loss by 15% with three points invested. I see it like ammo upgrades/bonuses; the times it is relevant are the times you really need it. In drawn out battles that drag on for some time, fighting enemies that get completely exhausted before you do is a big force multiplier.

I really want Tomb Kings, but I'm not sure who they'd end up fighting against or what their objectives would be. I guess if you take the Bretonnian model, where the objective isn't really to pain the entire map so much as go off on adventures, and apply it to something like recovering Nehekaran relics... that could work. Tomb Kings are goofy as gently caress and I love them. I want giant Anubis statue things and quasi-Egyptian skeletons and poo poo. Make it happen, CA.

For variety's sake, you could randomly generate which factions have stolen the relics at the start of the campaign. If they get wiped out, it gets transferred to the conqueror. Add some Bretonnian crusaders and some followers of Nagash so they've got some guaranteed fights in the early game and you're good to go!

I finally feel like I mastered Irondrakes. They're tricky to position because it's really easy for them to get swept up in an enemy charge even in a checkerboard formation. I'll put them in the flanks then turn them toward bobbed up enemies engaged in melee. I had a rank 9 unit with all the upgrades shoot at a clustered group of 5 Goblin and orc archer units once, and it caused all five units to instantly rout which set off a chain reaction in the rest of the army. That same unit of irondrakes got 419 kills that battle

When the game launched they were pretty awful, but bit by bit in the following patches they've become more useful until now that they are a proper high end unit with awesome effects! Ive noticed similar good changes across the board towards stuff like: goblin rock lobbers, flame cannons and gyros.

Someone was asking about wind of death a few pages ago, just wanted to show what it could do on overcast:   The AI probably wouldn't be sitting like that and would run as soon as it was casted to dodge it but doing it this way against the AI might work:   If you form one line with a curve at the end and stick a necromancer behind the curve and let the enemy AI charge you you'll have a clean line so that none of your own get hit. You'd just have to be careful that they don't run back and pull your troops forward right into it. I'm not sure if they would react that way since it seems like they only try to dodge spells when they're not engaged. Trujillo fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Mar 7, 2017 |
