Things aren't bad for Lizardmen. They are a great campaign faction overall. Nakai is bad because he does nothing for the faction, the economy, or the army he's with. He is a slow moving melee lord only; while a lot of neckbeards care only about how a lord performs in melee, it's just objectively not worth a lot in this game. Lizardmen generic lords are better than their legendary lords, and that is, I suppose, their only weakness.

To be fair, The Hunter and The Beast was better for the Lizardmen side, as while Nakai was a bit disappoining (mainly due to his vassal-mechanic), the Huntsmarshal Expedition was both very lore-unfriendly and a bit of a drag, but the DLC also came with Gor-rok and, more importantly, Lord Kroak, so I wouldn't necessarily call it the "shitty part". Also, while the newest DLC is certainly more focused on the Beastmen update, they really, really needed it, and while Oxyotl isn't exactly amazing, his campaign mechanics are certainly unique, and the Skink Oracles and Coatls are an amazing addition to the roster, so while the Lizardmen got less out of the DLC, I once again wouldn't call it "shitty". Honestly, I think the issue with Lizardmen is similar to the Dwarfs in WH1 and the HE in WH2: they are a strong race with some disgustingly strong doomstacks, so CA is unwilling to give them anything really good in fear of completely ruining the small semblance of balance they have, so instead we get side-grades and small systems that only provide minor bonuses.
@CareerKnight3 жыл бұрын
@@Horvath_Gabor Nakai is an incredibly bad LL and his vassal mechanic would be pretty bland even if it wasn't a brain dead pain in the players ass. The Huntsmarshal is interesting on the other hand with a lot of unique mechanics, some of them can be a "bit of a drag" but they have nothing on Nakai having to babysit a brain dead vassal (Nakai is also pretty lore unfriendly in that he is crap and should probably not be leading armies). In that update, as you said, the Lizardmen got Gor-rok and Lord Kroak which was nice but the Empire got the Empire rework, Gelt as his own faction, and a map rework that also added the Imperial Forts. The problems with the Lizardmen are, as others have already pointed out, their unique mechanic of the Geomantic web is boring and you only interact with it by just building a building, their LL are overall lackluster, and they just keep getting the shorthand of the stick in dlcs starting with the first one where Tehenhauin's faction mechanics are a joke next to Ikit's. And with the newest one the Beastman certainly needed help more but they could have thrown the Lizardmen something and while Oxyotl has two unique mechanics they oddly don't interact with each other and his assassination ones never get more challenging or more impactful as the campaign goes on so it just devolves into get a minor temporary buff or suffer this penalty that often doesn't even matter (a lords army on the other side of the world is slightly stronger, why should I care?).

I really don't see how a lord that can get 600-700 kills in almost every battle without ever even being seen is somehow only a 6/10 as a combatant. Oxyotl is leagues above Alith Anar or Markus Wolfhart. It's also fascinating how TikTaqTo's +10 MA in foreign territory is very good while Oxyotl's +8 MA in foreign territory somehow doesn't even get mentioned. Oxyotl's Masterful Ambush stance and immunity to trespassing should be counted as well. And maybe the global recruitment unlock for Oracles as well, because while it does not increase capacity for them, it does let you recruit them on the frontlines exactly where you need one as instant reinforcements. Also, how does Nakai giving Frenzy to Kroxigors counting as nothing? That's +10 MA, +10% WS, and +10% charge bonus and it doesn't even get mentioned? It's not like Nakai is great, but surely he at least deserves another point or two in his commanding.

Totally disagree with Oxyotl and that's why: 1. He has penetration and easily kills 3-7 models at once, especially in sieges. 2. Because of his Unspotable trait he can solo almost any siege without endangering his troops and this is great if we're talking about singleplayer (and I guess we do). 3. He has a skill that allows to recruit Oracles from any settlement and increases their cap. Is this good for campaign? Def yes! 4. Best army is the most cost-efficient one. Oxyotl skyrockets skink's cost eff, his chameleon stack is worth 2,3,4x more expensive enemy armies! And you use all the saved bucks to build up. 5. Oxyotl and his skinks are considered to be a low threat for AI in autoresolve and thus AI hugely underestimates your forces. You can use it to your advantage by showing Oxy's stack in front of enemy ones and allowing them to attack instead of maybe playing a long siege battle.

Why is the most powerful caster alive in the setting left with such a mediocre selection of spells? Why do we have casters of nearly all lores of magic as heroes/leaders in HE and Empire, but then the ones that created those lores of magic are left with only a few of them? Like, there are so many amazing units in the roster that are completely irrelevant because it looks like CA is scared of making the faction too strong. But at the same time this only happens with Lizardmen. I really want to know the reason for these design choices.

EVERYONE with a ranged option, outside of chaos, outranges them. And even those that don't, have guns. Can they not have like, saurus javelins that can throw them much farther and harder at least? Or skink crossbow hunters or something? Maybe a duo of solar engine bastilodon or even a trio to help compete against other artillery units, which generally have multiple weapons per unit?

The fact that he shoots more darts is super advantageous since you cant hit several units and applying the dot to all of them. And the dot does apply to the blowpipe ability so you wont need unlimited patience.

Okay, again about Nakaï ; you really can’t rate him like any other legendary lords because he is completely symbiotic to his campaign mechanics. he is NOT supposed to recruit from the normal buildings, but function ENTIRELY on sacred spawnings through the rituals. If you TRY to play him the way any other LL plays, it’s NORMAL you’ll find him crappy. His INTENDED play style is centered around getting sacred spawnings (that have way higher stats and even better progression than normal ones) and therefore end up with an army that has every stack 33 to 66% better than a normal one of the same rank. Playing him as any other LL is tantamount to choosing Imrik and recruiting only ogres for him. AND THAT’S WHY he doesn’t do squat else, because what he does different is his whole campaign mechanics. You have to keep rolling forward to snowball and not worry too much about defending the settlements you captured behind you, because he’s not a camper at all, kind of like Taurox, really. It’s just less obvious he is intended to always keep moving. I admire how you dig into every mechanics to go and find what’s broken about them, but for Nakaï it’s hilarious you actually completely flew over it and kept using your usual frame of thinking. As for Oxyotl, all of what you said is pretty true except if he shoots in a pack of Ogres or Minotaurs (or kroxy etc), then he’ll drop them pretty fast. He’s tailored to be very dangerous to these first and foremost. His other shtick is of course the fire whilst moving and being horribly slippery, but that has more value in the game mode that you notoriously never play ;) And, yeah, he’s pretty much tailored to build a chameleon skinks doomstack, especially with the special poisons he’ll give to other ChamSkinks in his army.

I just finished an Oxyotl campaign and think he is quite a lot more deadly than Legend gives him credit for. Oxy usually got 150 kills per battle, just pop him out on a flank, activate Stalk mode and let him do his work. From the side his projectiles almost always hit perfectly, dealing full damage with every volley. The other thing I found very useful is his skill "The Hidden Nusiance", which gives Chameleon Stalkers "Unspottable" and Chameleon Skins "Snipe", which basically means you can force every engagement to go your way, as well as ensuring you sucessfully ambush most enemy armies. Maybe it's just that my style of fighting is quite different from Legend's but I would rate his battle power at 8/10 (Oxy can end up mosty running around and repositioning himself) and his command power because of "The Hidden Nuisance" at 10/10.

Oxyotl’s battle rating is too low. I read what the slow death modifier from his skill tree does and thought: “uh, this would probably work really well with him” It does, I’ve gotten him to over 70,000 damage just shooting alone, and the slow death applies to his missile attack ability from his weapon and melee as well, making him a silent killer that can slaughter armies from stealth and makes sieges a cinch. He is also perfect for a chameleon skink army because of this since he can go after fast units and weaken or kill them before you engage the enemy, earning him teamwork points.

I finally got to play Oxyotl and I must strongly disagree with 6/10 as combatant (especially considering that Grimgor got 9/10and Alith Anar 8/10). IMO he should get at least 9.5/10, he's definitely better combatant than both of these LL 1. Oxyotl does have penetration, I saw him wrecking 12 kills in one volley 2. Oxyotl excels in killing high value targets because of unspottable when his entire army stalks. He can run around an enemy army 50 meters away and shoot without being spotted and he can be buffed with ammo and have 100+ shots. Just yesterday fought against Hellebronn: Oxyotl had 105 shots, he killed Hellebronn, 2 Masters, Death Hag, 2 artillery crews and shot the rest into infantry while the rest of his army was chilling. Ended the battle with 200 kills and insane damage value. While confederated he still can get 80-90 shots

One more thing that I think was overlooked on Oxyotl is that he should give himself his Slow Death poison (and avoid at all costs killing Herman Ghorst). Using that and spacing his shots out he can get way more mileage at chipping away an army before you have to send anyone else in. Just hide in a corner and have him keep touching different units instead of shooting the same target. His blowpipe special also will apply this poison.

If you put the green nurgle toxin "banner" on Oxyotl, he can get over 60k damage in a battle if you cycle through the enemy's single entities to keep applying the DoT to each of them for the full duration. I used him to soften up a random mission army with four shaggoths and two giants, along with chosen, dragon ogres and chaos knights enough that they got army losses less than a minute after my chameleons engaged. I think that combo which is entirely within his own skill tree warrants at least a 7 or 8/10 for battle power. I agree on the other two aspects being so low though, poor skinky boi.
@RedPandaGod013 ай бұрын
Oxyotl also has very good replenishment and can replenish troops in hostile or neutral territory with out needing to enter the stance to do so, we can also replenish troops when encircling or seiging witch is very important in some situations, his movements paird with tech buffs and skink oracles is also insanely far he can cross the length of the chaos south chaos wastes in like 3 turns, he can go in kill an army close to their allies then move back out of range, he can accomplish as much as three armies so much in his turn. And going back to his replenishment he can fully replenish in a single turn in friendl6 territory or well encamped, i know you dont count it but paired with his faction ability to teleport he to godly on the campaign map he can use part of his movement to kill a strong army then teleport to another area kill another then encamp or be in frindly territory fully recover teleport somewhere else and do it again, i would say he is the most effective lord on the campaign scale for getting shit done, not a turn will go by when he is not able to do something, his army ability that let him trespass with out penalties also makes him even more productive in combinations with his mobility like if Itza wont sell out to you and you want good relations you can just go threw them and to take north lustria one again with his abilities you can place sanctuma anywhere and in 3 turns build both a fully upgraded milatary buff building and teleport building so you can place sanctum under your enemies you want to take well Oxyotl is on the other side of the world the teleport him take their settlement the next turn and everything around it over the next 3 turns and you build a new teleport building somewhere else, you can also buold them on active front lines teleport back to defend instantly from anywhere, he is effectively able to operate a a large empire of unconnected or distant territories well at war with all basically everyone at once with a handful of lords, or even just him as can usually see enemies far before there in range to do anything can teleport in with the movment to kill multiple armies or even kill their army moving to attack you then take their un-defended settlement, they then need turned to rebuild their army as your army is fully recov3d by next turn and teleport over to another front do it again, that said I confederate tehenawin atbthe start and have him slowly capture lustria well defending, well Oxyotl secures all the wastes, and does all his vision quests with long term or annoying failure conditions, i ussuly ignore like +5 corruption or - 5 control or growth and they do basically nothing, unless i want to teleport to those locations, between after all the waste are mine i will Oxyotl go to lustria and claim everything not owened by a Lizerdmen man very fast then I teleport over to start taking oven the skaven empire in the old world and work my way down to the otjer Lizerdmen, send tehenawin on a sea rout to cathey where nakai is long dead, i know cuz Oxyotl checked way earlier, and start expanding in the east as well. Anyways on a campaign level he is op as hell well in battle i find he takes massive chunks of health out of things each volley and rarely has to worry about taking damage, meanwhile a mix of super buffed chameleon skink skirmishs paired with some beasts wipe out anything so far as basically all your army but beasts have camo and vanguard deployment, they can utterly shred more things when focing on them and outskermish things, with all the effects and everything vs demons you can break their most annoying units so quickly and kill them before moving on to the next, hounds and things ussuly break before they can do anything as will more flying units, cav and large monsters, chariots ussuly die very fast too but the biggest issues tend break too, its also very easy to take out theirs back line arty and such, in situations where their rear is well defended from skinks the beasts are ussuly able to charge though and kill and distract their ranged unist well the skinks slaughter the fround line helpless to catch up to them, once their out of the way kill the ranged units, once their bead or gone the battle is effectively won, losses dont actually matter so long as nonfull unit is lost as by next turn they will be full, and outside of auto resolve its rare to lose anything other then skink chieftains who have not yet unlocked a mount or stalk, i say as my only maunal resolve loss so far, who died in a battle to fatweiver, where i set up to ambush him and somehow he ambushed us, but in general Oxyotl gets to choose all his engagements and almost always has an advantage in thay matter, his long movement is also perfect for sniping armies that forced marched expecting to be safe

The Lizzardmen is a good faction imo. They're fun to play, they have a fun roster, they have fun campaign mechanics and those are core elements you need to actually play any faction. Their Legendary Lords might not be up there paired with everyone else's lords, but they're still impactful on the battlefield. Oxyotl can go on the offence and defence at the same time, taking over another province, then teleport and defend the home province. Basically unlimited vision and teleportation really makes his campaign stand out. I don't see someone playing as Lizzardmen just straight out losing to the AI, but I'm not playing this game on Legendary difficulty, with all that entails.
