Holy cow, FINALLY a Lizardmen game. I've watched you play tournaments for months now and haven't seen a single one - seems like everyone's been playing the same 6 rosters or so. Was hoping to finally see some razordon, but the ancient sally is still nice.
An excellent series of games! Seeing one of the first battles of the day repeated in the finals was awesome. It was especially cool to see the adjustments the players made. It showed the strategy that goes into the game, when we as players generally only consider the tactics.
What Bretonnia needs is the big fat expansion it was supposed to recieve before The End Times more than 20 years ago. I'm talking about their Fey counterpart. They were supposed to be combined with the Fey. Knights wreathed in mist, blue and green charging against their foes striking fear into all. Joined with the creatures from the Fey. Knights Blessed by a literal Elven GOD! According to Loremaster of Sotek and the one and only Andy Hall AKA Lawhammer, Bretonnia is supposed to be an extremely terriffying foe for anyone going up against them. At their stagnate state however, Bretonnia is simply unfinished. It's missing its Fey counterpart!
The empire build had potential. Less outriders, more capture weight on point earlier could've made a huge difference. The missed micros where painful to watch though, maybe he was too focused on steamrolling the dwarfs with the tank? Anyway, hope to see something similar tried again, the standard builds are getting pretty stale imo
The dwarvern flamethrowers feel invincible fighting just as well at 10% health as 100%, thinking on it if you replaced them with WW2 era flame throwers you really would be worried every time someone fired a fireball at you. I'd love to see chance of explosion added to the game with increased chance for fire based attacks, perhaps when health drops below 50% to compensate for the high tech, truthfully such a primitive flame thrower would be dangerous to the firer...
Yeah, I'm also soured on that matchup for that reason. Your shooting on HE struggles into gyros, even with tempest and all that, mostly because the gyros can and will just bumrush your archers and oneshot-bomb them. The removal of fire whilst moving did almost nothing in this matchup. But the irondrakes are similarily problematic. Trollhammers outshoot anything on your roster (at cost parity) due to how survivable they are, and obliterate SE play. WP to Stinger on that last game though. I guess playing the rush is indeed your best bet, and cav archers immunity to knockdown and increased HP per model makes them an interesting avenue to explore.

Great call Turin with “Since I’ve Been Loving You” as your favorite Led Zeppelin song. It’s chronically underrated.
Who doesnt like it man its one of their top songs. Peak rock blues
When the Doomseekers arrive, cue the Guile theme(which goes with everything).
Stingers my dude, reppin' the High Elves in spite of all the haters, love it! Shows they got some teef in the hands of a competent player.
ayy another Since I've Been Loving You enjoyer. One of their best songs for real

Games will be had.
That's one for the book.
The Semi was such an interesting build, would love to see that or a similar match replayed with better micro.
Any idea on the next AOE 4 stream?
Thank god I finally get to see Lizardmen in one of these tourneys 🙌
Thanks for another great stream!
