Yep...don't run from dinosaurs....Dr. Grant says to not move

Good thing there were no Aztec space lasers. That would have been overkill.

They were. It is a default you have to change

You can permanently change it in the gameplay options as well.

+Doops Grass Thanks! Hope it helps and glad you like it!

Add me to the list. The approach marries Tokshen-style sports commentary with PharoahOwar style analysis. I like this a lot. Fun, followed by post-battle disection. It's a good move!

You only have to switch it once in the main menu. I don't get how people are so clueless sometimes. So many threads about it on the forums too :)

nesnahprotsdam Theyre clueless because it was off in the first game by default and didnt expect the random change. Obviously that's why, cant tell why youre so clueless. See whut I did there :P

lol

Yea they need to change their in game setting

Arthur ya cause selecting your archers and clicking a button is rely hard to manage

+Killerzerg117 glad to have you here! Hope you enjoy the videos!

+Scott Slatton yea it will be fun :)

Thanks for your hard work!

HeirofCarthage Heir, I love your content! But I have question, I just bought TW2 but my PC is strugling with the game. I have an Nvidea Gtx 970 but can only play on medium. What videocard is needed to play on ultra?

My laptop has a GTX 1070 that is running the game on ultra at 1080p and 60 fps

HeirofCarthage Thanks! Ill start searching for one, (and the money). Have a great trip Heir.

I have a 970 and playing on High quite nicely and might push up to Ultra... have you updated and made sure you have the Drivers from Nvidia - they optimise for TW2 CASE: Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid-Tower Gaming Case CD2: 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+/-R/+/-RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE CPNR1: Cyberpower Sound Absorbing Foam -- reducing audible noise transmitted through solid case panels by up to 75% CPNR2: Cyberpower Anti-Vibration Fan Mounts -- reducing the noise transmitted from Fans CPU: INTEL(R) Core™ i5-6600K Quad Core 3.50 GHz 6MB Cache LGA1151 + HD CS_FAN: Default Case Fan FAN: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo with 3 x Direct Contact heat-pipes CPU Cooling Fan *** Extreme OC *** HDD: 2TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64M Cache 7200rpm Hard Drive (2TB (2TBx2) Raid 1 High Performance with Data Security [+47]) MEMORY: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4/2400mhz Dual Channel Memory [+23] (HyperX MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte Z170-HD3 INTEL Z170 Chipset, ATX Mainboard w/ 4 RAM slots, 2 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 2 x PCI, 1 SATA Express, 6 SATA3, 1 NETWORK: ONBOARD 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT -- As standard on all PCs OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit Edition) OVERCLOCK: No Overclocking POWERSUPPLY: 600 Watts Power Supplies [+9] (Cooler Master 600 Watts B600 B2 Gaming Power Supply VIDEO: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card [+91] (Single Card)

I can talk through them as I play these bit by bit.

Are you sure it isn't pronounced however it comes out of my mouth :)

Well I could argue with that. But instead, I'm just going to laugh.

JarrenDrahn people were saying the same thing about Chaos from game 1 after they got aspiring champions but they were still very much due for buffs. The problem with the high elves is that their inability to fire whilst moving like the wood elves trivializes their skirmishing capability against factions that have an easy time swarming, their race trait martial prowess doesn't make a very significant impact since having it makes them slightly better than average, and losing it makes them worse than average (statline). This is especially important because getting charged usually makes them lose it. IMO martial prowess should scale with fatigue, not health, then high elves would be doing just fine *scale-> work with

And nothing I have seen justifies tge useless fanboyism over Lothern Sea Guard. HE NEED a cheap anti armor option. Because DE can counter Stegs fairly easily with Darkshards.

Ethan Shin They don't need fire while moving, you just need to ensure your infantry to skirmisher ratio is correct so you can defend them. That goes for any faction not just HE. I've noticed a lot of people take too many skirmshers or a small elite army, which you obviously can't defend. As for martial prowess, if you lose 50% hp in the first charge you're doing something wrong. Braced spears only take about 10% damage against even heavy cavalry. Your elite units like swordmasters should not be taking the charge in the first place.

Anirban Bhattacharya I get what you mean. Archers can target down armoured monsters, it just takes longer. The repeater bolt thrower on single shot deals better damage than people think. As for infantry, white lions trade well for their price and can do significant damage to armoured monsters. For a higher price phoenix guard destroy monsters. If all else fails, there are always dragons and phoenixes with ap. Don't scoff at nobles either, they have ap, bonus vs large and charge defence.

+JarrenDrahn I think high elves need to use their magic well. Stuff like the nets can help contain monsters. Also high elves have tons of Dragon options

+Leoxandar Magnus music is really good

the great book of grudges Im almost positive we'll see slamanders, and likely razordons as well, come with whatever the lizardman dlc pack is. Btw, you dont need the apostrophes there. Apostrophes are for indicating possession, not plurality.

All units missing are all related to skinks and sotek, confirmed dlc?

Eric Cimerol Its pretty much confermed that the "Profiet Of Sotek" Talonokuah is the next DLC...who is going to be his rival could be anyone (PS: I butchered the poor skinks name, sorry...)

*Tehenhauin

Gray Seer Thanquol will be his rival.

+Conquistadoge nice! Sounds awesome

+Eric Cimerol yea I saw them finally today. They look good

HeirofCarthage get to of them with a skink priest on a terradon and you can easily get air superiority, even better than Bretonnia

+SonofAres 55 yep lizards have great overall tools I think

They are both cool. Haven't gotten to use them a ton yet though.

Cool, hopefully you can in the future!

Carnosaurs don't fuck around, they shit on everything. Figuratively and literally, I imagine

+Donnie88 yea their overall damage is solid

+dac314 it may be a while before I get to them all since I am about to be out of town but I am working on it :)

HeirofCarthage no rush at all. I just saw your Laser Lizards vs High Elves replay, iiiiiinnnnncredible. That Hand of the Gods is like a pyrotechnic pimping-slapping.

+Rosco_P_ Coletrain agreed. CA please fix :)

It's in the advanced graphics options!

+alberto capellán I will need to get a look at them when I get back in town next week. Not sure how they do yet

Obviously this doesn't mean so much in multiplayer, but in campaign at least it's a brick shithouse. Mazdamundi starts with one in his initial army and it poops all over most everything else in the early game. Does pretty good artillery damage to blobs of units, causes the "blinded" debuff (which reduces missile accuracy and melee defense, if I recall correctly), and you can just storm it into the front lines of an enemy army like a battering ram when your troops get engaged if you're afraid of friendly fire... but all that could be irrelevant if it's not cost-effective in MP, and I haven't played any MP yet...

+Cultureghost so far it seems good. It isn't s luminary for sure but causes good damage to most units

Kinda wish you had played Mazdumundi so I could have seen it

Luminark vs. Lizard People is going to be hillarious. Oh, you brought a dinosaur? Watch this! :)

+Konstantin Riumin I will try to get to them but may be when I get back from my trip

+Offbeaten I haven't gotten to use them yet but you will see the solar engine in a battle or two soon 😀

Sounds great, im not sure that i'm using them right.. i feel i have more success just throwing them in melee so.. i feel something's off :D

For the CPU and RAM, I'm running it on an FX-8350 and 8GB is probably sufficient although I have more. For the graphics card I have a Radeon 480. That gets me responsive gameplay at around 35fps with a few of the graphics settings lowered and anti-aliasing set to 4x rather than 8x. I game on a 2560x1440 screen. Plenty enjoyable and somewhere between High and Ultra. If you want actual Ultra, you'll need a better card or drop down to a 1080 screen. And if you want Ultra with good frame rates (e.g. 60fps or more), you'll need something significantly better than what I have. Sorry that I can't provide more information but I hope that helps you get a ballpark.

+Alex Sitaras they are like demigryphs with halberds kind of. (Not as tough though) Ok charge but good in prolonged melee.

i am in love with lizardmen right now. they are everything i hoped. mopping the floor with skaven never felt better

It's a damn good game, just be wary it can soak up your time! The "one more turn" is a real problem xD

+Anthony Huynh I got you covered then 😀

They give you ranged options that can also be used in melee, but cost more since they double as an artillery platform. I will try to show them all over the coming videos

Thanks man, greetings from Berlin

listen to the first 2 mins of the vid, he explains it.

Jeff haHAA

The forst 2 or 3 minutes he explains this watch the video before you ask Questions please

did u not watch the video he says it in the first 2 mins.

Go to his channel, you can reveal by checking the bot defender thing under "details" in the channel info tab!

lol yep :)

HeirofCarthage Omg. Heir ansvered my unimportant tweat) Appresiate that.

Tweat... oh I... Need to rest...

Go to his channel, you can reveal the email by checking the bot defender thing under "details" in the channel info tab!

That's an interesting notion. I always thought people preferred spamming Spearmen/archers instead of Seaguards.

In multiplayer that is probably a better move, because you have a limited amount of money.

In the Single player though, you can generally rely on the fact that the AI is rarely going to be smart enough to really threaten your archers. Not to mention when besieging factions, which happens a lot, having dedicated melee units is really useful.

You just auto-resolve those. For some reason the auto-resolve really favours archers and artillery, so you pretty much can't lose. In Warhammer 1 an army of goblin rock lobbers actually does quite well.

+Tardytime lolol

Yeah it seems to be a potantial problem in MP. It doesn't do that much damge but it doesn't need to. It's basicall a walking terror debuff that keeps quite a few of ypour opponent forces occupied and it's very hard to get rid off. If you play against Lizards you are basically forced to include counters for a 700 unit. At lower cost battles this is problematic.

Moritz Asbrand Tbh most of the big dinosaur units seem to be way too cheap for how strong they are in terms of damage & hitpoints. The only effective way for dealing with bastiladon, stegadon et al. seems to be focused armor-piercing missile damage. Even high-quality anti-large infantry (Phoenix guard, black guard of Naggarond) aren't very useful, they will trade effectively in a 1v1 scenario BUT they are slow & will take way too long to bring the dino down (and cost way too much), so it's really easy for the lizardman player to avoid them with a bit of half decent micro, or tie them down with infantry.

No, they aren't.

High armor main infantry, only ranged units they have are skirmishers, large selection of monsters. Skink -> marauder the skirmisher line is even in this tier and then theres saurus->chaos warrior and kroxigor-> champions. In contrast, the greenskins have fast cavalry, better artillery, real ranged units, lightly armored main infantry and only 3 monsters to choose from.

+Sandmanofamarillo this game is a lot of fun. If you have a pc to run it I would definitely recommend it.

Yeah, I've noticed almost no multiplayer battle is ever "decisive", lol

+ElSeto93 to difficult to slow down lizards with only skirmishers

Come on my man, use some replay where it isn't a obvious win in the unit selection already, there wasn't one good unit to fight against Lizard :D Otherwise keep up the awesome work, can't stop watching ur videos.

I already have three more ready including a free for all :)

Holy sheeet you answered, I feel blessed

He had them on skirmish what really fucked him. Not that the outcome of the battle would have been different otherwise but it wouldn't have been as bad.

+Omar games Mincraft and more lol she just laughs and says that is probably just to keep boys interested

+AdventurousCat coming soon yes yes

HeirofCarthage for the great horned rat!

I say lizardmen first . And there fucking dinosaurs riding dinosaurs! I mean cmon

Well the high elves are pretty darn good if u ask me! This build is just crap

High elves are good, they're not like patch 1 chaos level terrible. They can hang with the other factions, but they are definitely the weakest and hardest to use.

DahvPlays you said what Turin said about HE in his stream, am I right???

The high elves are good, they just need more units. I was baffled when I saw most of their roster is fucking dragons and Phoenix rather than a variety of archers and foot soldiers

TheShinyMetapod Tyrion Avatar if Khaine is the only true powerful version of him I agree. But then you get Eternity King lulz. Tyrion tho really shines in a militia army. Strictly campaign wise he is very good. But mp? Leave him at home. And you're right. The Everqueen is a must and I feel every race pack will be adding tat least two to three LLs for each race- Hellebron, Darkblade, Everqueen, Alith Anar, Imrik, Gor-Rok, Tehenhuain, Skyre AND Eshin/Moulder with Stormfiends and Jezzails

dont forget the ratling gun

+TheShinyMetapod Sea Guard are beast in campaign...questionable at best in multiplayer. They do have eagle claw bolt throwers that pierce armor and are good vs monsters and infantry. Don't underestimate drain princes. Their attack, charge, and defense is absurd. They blasted through horned ones in my test. Agree overall though. High Elves may be the minnow right now. Though their dragons can be good too.

On foot, Tyrion beat all the other lords in game, including Kroc Gar and Malekith. Problem is that while they get dinosaurs and dragons, Tyrion gets a horse. And he dont have armor piercing so he takes a while to chew though armor. On Tabletop Tyrion had mental stats. He hit as hard as a star dragon and was faster than anyone else. and considering how armor piercing on TT was directly tied to how hard you hit, he should have armor piercing in this game.

Well the problem with Dragon Princes is that they're literally just Chaos Knights with Lances but with physical resist and fire resist. No one uses Chaos knights because cav that don't have AP and/or anti-large are really freaking worthless. Look a Warhammer 1: Blood knights, Demihalberds, Grail knights, Royal Pegasus Knights (flying, but still shock cav), Orc Boar boy big uns. People brought these ALL the time because they could either dish out reliable damage to either cav (anti-large) or armored infantry (armor piercing). Having neither cripples your cavalry options.

+Koen Kamphorst they are good in campaign. Not sure they work in multiplayer

They are okay to cover the end of a line of archers, but the price isn't always worth it.

I think it's probably still too early to say for sure whether or not any faction is OP, players are still working out the appropriate compositions and strategies and the meta hasn't yet fallen into place, but between the Lizardmen and the High Elves, I'd say the advantage is solidly in favor of the Lizardmen, since the elves rely heavily on their long-range skirmishers, and most of the best Lizardman units are fast, armored, and have missile resistance... so as a faction, they seem to be the "rock" to High Elves' "scissors"
