    Expanding north on Mazdamundi is a bad idea because of unsuitable climates. Better to expand south and get all that jungle plus lizardmen unique buildings.

    Just played a Tehenhauin campaign and really enjoyed it. The amount of buffs for skins that you can stack makes for a really fun chaff front line that actually has a lot of durability and lets you afford more dino's and kroxigors and more armies in general. Plus 2 army abilities from the sacrifice mechanic that are very helpful for annihilating infantry.

    • @CheekiTiki
      @CheekiTiki 2 роки тому +1

      Tehenhauin is actually so strong he's busted. Once you've got enough obsonite miners for free buildings, and enough provinces for 1-turn buildings, he's absolutely unstoppable by turn 50. If you have enough armies fighting every turn, you can have all the sites buffs going infinitely, so now on top of having an unstoppable economy he also has OP armies and settlement garrisons.

    Kroq'gar campaigns were some of my favorite in WH2. Once he gets going, his army (and he himself) is just unstoppable. The momentum you get with charging Carnosaurs, stegadons and others is just nuts.

    TL;DR Nakai can invade chaos, defend lustria, and smash the dark elves all in the name of the lizardmen at the same time thanks to his sea lanes, went from the least fun lizardman to the most so give him a go in WH3. One sea lane is to lustria, the other to the dark elves and through cathay is the chaos wastes.
    Gotta say, played Nakai, you conquer the dragon twins (Or ally them, its what I did) Then take the sea lane back to Lustria and when I personally arrived the dark elves, Skaven and Huntsmarshall were destroying my bois down to their last cities and I allied with Bretonnia on the coast and smashed the filth out of Lustria. Felt very cinematic, returning to Lustria when needed most just as Nakai's lore intended. Honestly the 2 sea lanes Nakai gets made his campaign an absolute blast. I was invading the chaos wastes, Naggarond and defending Lustria at the same time, Nakai has so much freedom and lore wise he was a proper Chaos basher so playing him as a chaos waste invader through Cathay is awesome too. Nakai went from my least favourite to most favourite lizardylad

    • @mangaranwow2543

      I agree, at this moment i feel that Nakai is 100% the best lizardmen experience. Don´t think that that IS really tried Nakai´s campaign, since he didn´t mention Nakai´s special mechanics. The 3 temporary campaign buffs, the army abilities you unlock, the fast amounts of blessed units you can recruit besides an endless amount of extra hero´s makes Nakai´s ( that can´t die after you researched the tech ). It´s like reviewing Ikit claw and not mentioning the forbidden workshop.

      @@mangaranwow2543 The reason I failed to mention any of the inner mechanics such as Nakai being a horde faction is basic but I can justify it. Purely from a campaign standpoint, WH2 Nakai's spawn was god awful, unfun and lore wise was illogical, no chaos fights or defending Lustria from that awful island that Belakor is banished to now, the spawn was slow to expand from and you just fight endless waves of norscans (Got boring very fucking fast), the new WH3 spawn offers fights with some of the largest players on the board (and I would argue most fun to fight due to their size) Cathay, Dark Elves AND Chaos, AND you are given 3 sea lanes and room to expand

  • @pogo8050
    @pogo8050 2 роки тому +7

    Yeah Oxy plays amazingly. The main strength being the southern wastes is completely unassailable and it really feels like the world is your oyster in how you want to spread out. The rewards and punishments for the visions feel a lot more consequential and can kind of make-or-break you. And you can even feel like you help turn the tide against chaos. I sniped Skarbrand once and from Skarbrand and Kairos owning everyone apart, the ordertide rolled back against them and now the whole new world and southlands is orderland. It also helps that the chameleon skinks are so disgusting great. It’s like they were made to fight demon armies before they were even a thing. Fantastic campaign in my opinion.

  • @Unormalism

    Honestly I still think Nakai is still missing a game mechanic. Imagine a map like Oxyotl but you get missions based on Lizardmen factions (major or minor) that have a settlement under siege. You could teleport to break the siege and if successful you gain old one favor. With no cost of teleporting. This would be especially helpful since your vassal faction can't defend itself anyway and don't need to run across the map to help. This would also have the same advantage as Oxyotl campaign to where you have even more variability to your playthroughs.

    • @LyricalDJ
      @LyricalDJ Рік тому

      I like that idea. Fits the lore, too. Makes me wonder about his vassal mechanic, though (although I'd be in favour of changing that if need be to make it fit).
      As an aside, it's interesting that the Green Knight, Grombrindal and Nakai are implemented quite differently while they're all thematically similar (i.e.: mysterious wandering champions which show up in times of need).

  • @dac314
    @dac314 2 роки тому +5

    Deep down I knew Oxyotl would be Numero Uno.
    His campaign buffs are too strong, his teleport is too useful, and the universal climate trait means you can go anywhere without fear. Also, Stegadon+chameleons doomstacks are really fun.

    Oxyotl Campaign is incredibly good, especially considering the absurd size of our map.
    His gameplay mechanics essentially lets you pick and choose where you wanna be on the map, at almost any time.
    Within 4 turns and 5000 gold you can get to any location on the map that has been made visible to you.

  • @toddwittie4421
    @toddwittie4421 Рік тому +1

    The thing I find with Tiktaq'to is his economy is the easiest throughout most of the campaign.
    Put 8-10 Terradon units in his army and just random other things.
    This makes his army dirt cheap and you really don't need anything else for a very long time.
    I spent all of the the early to mid campaign just hiding all the ground troops and using those terradons to rout my enemies on the battle.
    This gives the option to field very good additional armies much sooner than other lizardmen or accrue an obnoxious amount of money to wantonly spend.

  • @Rukdug
    @Rukdug 2 роки тому

    Honestly, I personally really enjoy Tiktak, because he's the least "vanilla" of the 4 "vanilla" Lizardmen LLs. Well, back in WH2 at least. Essentially getting a free turn from his rite is really nice, and unleashing the power of the Lustrian Airforce is a lot of fun.
    However, I do agree with his lowest placement on this list, simply because of the fact that two really cool and thematic units for him that he has buffs both personally and faction wide for....are in two separate paid DLCs. So it feels less like he's an actual FLC character, because you have to buy two additional lord packs to get access to his full suite of aerial tools.
    Plus, all three of the other "vanilla" lizardmen lords got some cool new changes that make them a lot more fun, but Tiktak sorta didn't and kinda suffers for it.

      I was thinking that myself. My response in TWW2 was to make good relations with those factions to the north that I could, while sending armies that I'd probably need to have garrisoning the northern border anyway going forth to sack and raze the settlements of those factions that were definitely going to be enemies. This provided funds for my own development and eventually tilted the balance in Naggaroth enough that an ally was able to consolidate control over the border region and I could stop worrying about it...
      ...and so the raiding armies went to seek more wealth further north, naturally.

He makes a lizardmen airforce absolutely amazing, with the extra bombs and the other buffs he has, you can go almost an entire airforce army and bomb the hell out of everything. If anything he's one of the more unique lizardmen campaigns, because no-one else can use his flying units to nearly the same effect without the second bomb.
