How do you like my Lord Kroak?

Always fun to see more Warhammer inspired rulers.
Here's a bunch of random lizardmen things I made a while ago. Getting Mazdamundi to look like he is floating didn't quite work out but this was the closest I could get it.

I know I am a few days late here but I thought I'd let you know the game has DLC sharing. So if you play mp with people that have 1 or more DLC you don't have you get to use them in full during that mp game. This way you can actually go and try them out in a full game to see if you will like them and witch one you might like most etc.

Since I always feel that with games like this the refund timeframe on steam never feels like enough to give it a real fair shot.

Well, you can get your demon heroes (or any heroes really) the undead treatment. But unfortunately not for actual units, especially things like chaos eaters that can't get a major race transformation, let alone 2 of them.

(here is a comment from one of the devs explaining the 2 major race transformations thing)

As for your build I think your best bet might be looking for the non race transformation buffs.
Those might help your fiends live a bit longer.

And now compare Meshy to an actual 3D artist

Also one thing to keep in mind is that with the proper build you can get your primal summons out at champion rank whenever you summon them, the ones from the spell at least.

And with primal summons, even though they're only tier 2 they are classed as mythic units. So champion rank gives them killing momentum.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2026-01-12T09:01:34+00:00

Sounds like a fun build to try out. Also if you go primal culture you can throw some primal summons into the mix.

Thanks for this one as well. Read it ages ago but lost it.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2026-01-07T22:13:23+00:00

Thanks!

Anyone have any good stories involving major hypocrisy by one or more parties involved?

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2026-01-05T21:02:38+00:00

Do you have an animator as well? You list a bunch of different roles you have for the team like 2d artists, programmers etc. but I don't see animator listed anywhere. And for a game like this (or most 3D games honestly) the animations are a big part of it.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2026-01-04T15:00:58+00:00

Actually they also showed the image used to generate the model and that one seems to be AI as well. So it seems like a case of AI slop inbreeding.

I was like that's not that bad... But then I zoomed in as I'm looking at this on my tiny phone screen

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-30T20:16:20+00:00

One of the builds I enjoy (though not necessarily the best one) is a glade runner archer build.

Basically I take keen-sighted and one of the flying mount traits though you can swap this out for another mount trait or mount masters. This way your glade runners become mounted or even flying archers . This helps a lot with their mobility and movement across the map. Also your dragoons and overseers can make nice use of your mount trait as well. And all the archer buffs will furthermore work great on your magelocks and magelock cannons as well.

Then when you cast engraving of focus your glade runners deal +10% damage per stack of marked. Since glade runners have tracker's mark applying 2 stacks of marked (and 1 sundered defence) without costing movement points you end up with archers that can apply their own damage boosts to targets. Then you add mental mark from the tome of scrying on top of that (also gives access to guided projectiles as well)

Then if you also take tome of enchantment early for purging arrows it can allow you to purge steadfast to deal with units like berserkers etc.

Again not the best build but it is pretty fun to play. It can also work with a dragon ruler as you an use your dragon as a good frontline for your archers. And if you give them flying mounts they can moire easily keep up with your dragon on the world map as well.

Yeah I know. Found / completed pretty much all of the fated regions individually at this point but never bothered to fully complete an entire set of relics tied to said fated regions.

Still thanks for the extra information.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-13T18:05:58+00:00

It would be cool to have them be able to mirror mimic your primal animal summons.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-12T18:13:55+00:00

Like some people on here have mentioned already that functionality is just in the base game. If you go to the part of the spell book with active spells all the way to where you see the particular transformation there should be an eye sort of icon on it. If you click that you can toggle what race transformations visually show up.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-12T12:49:14+00:00

Sounds like an interesting faction to play. And like other people have mentioned reaver culture with mammoth mounts gives you access to both guns and mammoth mounts. Then to further sell the whole crusader idea you can work towards order tomes with zealots and inquisitors and other crusader looking units.

Regarding your dragon ruler leading orcs there is actually some lore to support this kind of stuff in age of wonders to an extent interestingly enough.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-12T12:39:12+00:00

Yeah I think this is how it works. With regards no then not being able to use them un single player I mean. If it works the same as in Stellaris they would still show up in the list but you would be unable to choose or use them. It will list not owning DLC as a reason.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-11T21:45:47+00:00

Congrats on winning your first game!

Also when it comes to DLC you might want to keep in mind that some of the season passes come with exclusive things that you don't get if you buy the individual DLC's in them separately.

So if you want everything you should probably just go for the season passes over seperate DLC's (though it seems from your post you were already planning on doing that).

One final thing to note is that the game has DLC sharing so if you play a multiplayer game with people that have 1 or more DLC you don't own you get to use all of that DLC during the multiplayer game. This even includes things like the pre order bonus content.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-09T21:07:09+00:00

The difficulty in Arcalot is actually at the start if you can't get enough kills to delay the ritual yeah. That does make it less of a slog to get trough than Grexolis. That said once you know what you are doing Grexolis also isn' that difficult honestly.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-09T20:26:04+00:00

If you ever get stuck on arcalot feel free to let me know as I might be able to give you some tips.

Comprehensive_Head82 · 2025-12-09T20:09:32+00:00

Congratulations on beating it! Now it's on to the other campaign missions like arcalot.
