its more of a giant unit thing ive noticed. auto resolve hates big units such as dreadsaurians, the different versions of giants etc and usually kill them first even if they are the most probable to live the battle.

[@ballendorf]

I genuinely resent how poorly most of the Lizardmen units perform, compared to how it feels they should. 8-foot dinosaur men, born with peak human experience and genetically engineered to never surrender?: Mid-tier infantry with bad stats in exchange for decent hp and weapon strength. 15-20ft crocodile men, engineered to destroy the forces of chaos?: Mediocre at best. Dread Saurians, the creatures so powerful that even Lizardmen can't control them without Slann mind-control, and which single-handedly hunted dragons to extinction in Lustria?: Fragile, and generally underwhelming.

[@bognog0469]

The only one that is strong are Chameleons skinks

[@weareharbinger914]

I feel like they were better in TW2. But i think its due to 'balancing' that these problems arise. When in lore, the lizardmen only lose because of an incredible series of unlikely events, coincidences and plot holes. They're meant to be generally small in number, but really powerful, when as presented, a bunch of chaos worshippers can actually beat them.

[@williammitchell6254]

Is this bait or have you never used saurus warriors before.

[@ballendorf]

@@williammitchell6254 No, not bait. I mostly play Lizardmen, so I use Saurus plenty, and yeah, they are good. But they are shorter than humans and can lose to plenty of human infantry, when lorewise they should be 8ft tall, and able to easily outmatch any human soldier.

[@ballendorf]

@adamkhan4451 Honestly, from what I can tell, and from what various creators say, Kroxigors are mediocre at best, and honestly kinda crap. Yeah they can get plenty of buffs endgame (at least with Nakai), but by that point every other unit is getting just as many.

[@jacobtrost5048]

I've never played through a Nakai campaign, but that Golden Tributes quest battle is the same battle as Gorok's quest battle for the Shield of Aeons, just playing as one of the other lizardman armies. That's kinda cool, I never knew that.

[@weareharbinger914]

You have to wonder how auto resolve works when the rest of the army it totally and completely unharmed, but one unit just gets dunked on and it is the toughest unit of the lot. Some really dedicated and heroic peasant archers, I guess.

[@Rammkommando]

"we're eating tonight boys" *ignores the rest of the crocodile men waiting to eat them

[@alirezarezaei2976]

At 14:18 To be honest, the dread Suarians are much more crocodilian than the Kroxigors themselves Or at least I never ever saw any crocodilian walk on two legs and Dread Suarians at least walk like a true Crocodile so yes they are counted as crocodiles

[@joost1120]

Depending on what exactly you consider a crocodilian, there were bipedal crocodilians. The group of Pseudosuchians (lit. false crocodiles despite including the true crocodilians) has huge variations of 'crocodilians'. This included Fasolasuchus, the largest terrestrial predator ever that wasn't a theropod, and Postosuchus and Poposaurus, two bipedal terrestrial carnivores. Fasolasuchus is basically a dread saurian, while the other two species are just evidence that bipedal locomotion did exist within crocodile history. There was also the much smaller Saltoposuchus in the Crocodylomorpha. This was also likely a bipedal crocodylomorph, one step closer to modern crocodiles.

[@poligrant5152]

@@arlissmith876 TF2 Moment

[@saltedllama2759]

Dread Saurians are super terrible against anti-large infantry. Their massively long horizontal footprint on the ground means they have more spots to be surrounded by agents dealing bits of damage. Whereas, say, a giant or Hierotitan have large vertical footprints and can't be surrounded by very many anti-large infantry, so they do well despite CA's intent. Both vertical and horizontal monsters get crushed by missile fire.

[@kingofparodies1]

Nakai's campaign is disgustingly strong, you get to tier 5 fast, you don't have to worry about maintaining your territory and get lots of new cash from each new settlement (with tech tree buffs) your units get buffed to hell, especially kroxigors, and the best thing of all you get TONS of heroes, a ridiculous amount of heroes. Plus abilities like giving your units a shield that makes them INVULNERABLE and summoning a razordons and a fucking magic barrage.

[@Mahar.]

That shredder didn't ended up on top of a peasant's pike, but in a plate !

[@nickkorkodylas5005]

Funfact: A Chinese general actually declared war on crocodiles after giving them an ultimatum. Not so fun fact: He actually managed to drive this species of crocodiles to extinction.

[@Paximus13]

with the gifting settlements to old ones mechanic, I found that the green buildings also provide better garrisons

[@Amenema]

I just played this campaign, and for those not challenging yourself to a meme build like “Krox only” your front line should be the cheap skink sword & shield, and kroxigors to back them up. Later on, you’ll add in other dinos to enhance the army to your preference, but those two units together are really all you need to win most battles. Skinks go in first to absorb ranged fire/engage front line. Then kroxigors charge RIGHT THROUGH your skinks into the enemy. Easiest strategy works every time.

[@VITAS874]

Or just cheats against cheat ai.
