Tyrion is gonna have the problems of the WH1-release Empire start: please enjoy fighting nothing but your own people's tier one infantry for the first 4/5 of the game, then throw a doomstack at the target of opportunity of your choice.

guarantees that anyone playing against the High Elves is gonna have a hard time shutting them down, but playing as that person is going to get real old real fast.

you wanna High Elf, play Teclis, and make war against a delicious assortment of jerks.

Shame on you if you play Tyrion and don't immediately go to Not-Canada for a family feud. Or a nice relaxing vacation in a Brettonian resort in the Southlands

You'll still be running around with armies of bleakswords and dreadspears and painblades and shadowsongs and murderballads.

You can rename regiments so instead it will be sugarswords, encouragementspears and the like.

I have a horrible confession to make. I'm looking forward to High Elves because it looks like you can make a nigh-uncrackable, elite infantry core of heavily armored and armed White Lions, Swordmasters, and Phoenix Guard that can deal with any target. Hell, take Sea Guard as your archer unit and even they'll be able to put up a fight in melee.

Sea Guard seem a massive gently caress you against Surtha Ek and his marauder horsemen/chariot legions.

I ride bikes all day posted:

Are there plans for Ogre Kingdoms, Tomb Kings, and Chaos Daemons? Tomb Kings are the only things even remotely as cool as Lizardmen.

I think it was mentioned somewhere that they want to end up with every army list in the 8th edition. Chaos Daemons were gonna be game 3 and the rest is up for speculation.

Given that their home region is in game 2 I expect the Tomb Kings to make an appearance rather sooner than later.

Legend of Total War is an arsehole, but he's still the only Youtuber worth watching, for people interested in seeing a good player taking on the highest difficulty.

Twitch is where it's at my friend. All the legendary campaigns, none of the grognards with a spearmannii obsession.

ElichTV (on Twitch) is worth watching. He's gotten early access fairly late, but has actually managed to keep ahead of the AI on rituals during his first campaign, and has done an excellent job of understanding the lizardmen.

Been watching him this evening. He knows what he's doing without being annoying about it.

Pro tip: Pressing "R" makes your armies move faster on the campaign map.

Lizardmen are Rome. They just steamroll everyone with their hastati Skinks and principes Saurus plus they have dinosaurs as well and super powerful wizards coz why the gently caress not?

Also fun to note, that geomancy stance gives your Saurus vanguard deployment :getin:

Holy poo poo the auto-resolve dynamics between Lizardmen and Skaven are ridiculous. I ran a level 2 garrison plus emergency lord against two stacks of Skaven; the Saurus lord killed 900-something rats and won a Pyrrhic, what the gently caress.

This is in general. I auto resolved a skaven vs. dark elf battle. The skaven general ended up killing 400+ dark elfs.

Also, basic dark elf infantry is hot garbage.

Today I found out you can cast Net of Amyntok on flying units. RIP that Chaos lord on his dragon and the manticores when they got grounded in the middle of my Saurus spearmen.

edit: It's also quite obvious at this point that someone went "Guys, we ran out of Lizardmen names! Someone grab me a Dutch dictionary"

The menu music isn't changed to spooky scary skeletons, the gently caress is this bullshit



I look forward to swarms of chariots and eye laser statues to crush some rats.
