why was this unit ever nerfed, so awesome yet so neglected...
thanks for the mod!

thanks for the comments man... and i will just be clear that it will take a lot of testing and tweaking before i try to make the mod public, and even then it might not be just right at launch, maybe by the end of the month i will reach the point to make it public, maybe earlier or maybe later, anyway thanks for feedback man, before i didn't have a good direction, now i have.

Honestly the Dread Saurian (and it's feral version) to me just feel like they lack mass and sustenance. They tend to get bogged down easily and lack the weight to throw groups of infantry around despite it being absolutely massive. I was thinking maybe some form of extra defence to make it a bit tankier and less likely to just get swarmed on or maybe some more mass to throw around those pesky rats. Otherwise I am unsure. I am excited to hear about the Carnosaur. I wouldn't worry to much about the dread Saurian, it's not bad it's just not better than most of the other dinos so it feels like it could use that extra oomph somehow to really make it shine and make you want to use it over yet another doomstack of carnos.

tommorrow i will release the carnosaur unerfed mod, i would be thankful if you guys give your opinions on what i should do with the dread saurian, any suggestion is appreciated.

I too am actually curious about a potential buff for the Dread Saurians. I can be patient though I am just appreciative of this buff to my second fav dino on the team!

Ok thanks.

No need to hurry, just acknowledging it is enough :)

Victor i may try to mess with it, but i have other priorities at the moment, my next mod may be all about the carnossaur and kroq gar nerfs, after that i may try to improve the dread saurian or the chamaleon stalkers if there is demand for the latter. but to be honest i cannot give you any date for it.

Good job author! If it's not bothersome, please can you also take a look at the Dread Saurians?

They are a Tier 5 unit, but have you ever wondered why no one uses them? Although they are not supposed to be a stupid OP damage dealer, they were supposed to be a top-tier elite unit and the single best dinosaur that the Lizardmen could field in their armies for it's price and upkeep... But unfortunately that wasn't the case, and still isn't.

They are squishy, they die fast to enemy ranged units, they are kinda fragile in melee, they perform poorly in sieges (which was their most important role), and they are expensive to muster and maintain in the armies.

They were supposed to be the tankiest and most disruptive unit from the Lizardmen. If they could have the ability to quickly destroy walls in sieges, they would be recognized for being a Tier 5 unit.

You did what CA was too cowardly to do.

You saved the Lizard.
Villas 15 Jul, 2021 @ 2:14pm 
@xSadisticDragonx The issues with the Lizardmen aren't content, but broken or outdated campaign mechanics which were never addressed. It's not a small annoyance, many people are dissatisfied with it.

If you people want to know why, I can explain.

@xSadisticDragonx 8 LLs, no reworks, all three dlcs were second fiddle, and this time third fiddle to dwarves, and the salamander has been nerfed to pointlessness because of the five people that play quick play

"CA openly hates the LM" he says about the only game 2 race to recieve a 7th LL lol

You are a legend. Thank you kindly.
Sunstrike 14 Jul, 2021 @ 11:14pm 
CA openly hates the LM. It takes actual lizardman fans to to fix things.

THANK YOU
Pizz Zoff 14 Jul, 2021 @ 2:31pm 
I dont know man... maybe you should release a mod beside this one to nerf the ancient salamander further because CA didnt slap it hard enough. Maybe make it take 20 turns to recruit and set its speed to 1.

Seriously though thanks for your time with the fix
Duid  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 9:48am 
Thanks alot Torcha!
Duid  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 9:08am 
just fixed for the silence and the fury patch!
Torcha09 14 Jul, 2021 @ 8:25am 
Posted it to a reddit string where people were whining about his nerfs, glad I found this, looking forward to using him with Oxyotl!
Duid  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 4:22am 
yes it should work in the next patch
npdejong 14 Jul, 2021 @ 3:49am 
Will this also work with the upcoming update?
npdejong 14 Jul, 2021 @ 3:49am
