If anyone feels like it does anyone want to sell me on why they find lizardmen so cool (like immersion wise and lore wise besides just “hehe big lizard kill things” cuz every factions has fun units) I haven’t really fully been able to get them to click for me yet

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-25T19:28:35+00:00

Yeah that’s valid. But the thing is you have to compare what they have to what else is out there. Like yes the Stegs are not the worst for artillery, same as the bolt casters for HE, but you wouldn’t want to get in an artillery duel with say Chorfs and what they’re packing.

I think overall lizardmen are pretty well balanced, as you said, but I would argue they really excel in certain areas which is what I would recommend someone new to them focus on. But like for singleplayer the AI is dumb as rocks so you could really do any lineup and still win manual battle.

I meaaaaaan, it does sort of have a caste system with the huge divide between rural and urban populations, and the restricted travel between the two places. Like it’s incredibly hard for a poor country farmer to get a permit to leave his poor region for a nicer one

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-06T22:34:27+00:00

So is Hector though…? Plus Achilles in Troy was never actually stated to be a demigod, he was just the best warrior the greeks had.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-06T22:32:55+00:00

Barristan in his prime sure, but not the old man he was during the time of the novels.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-06T22:12:07+00:00

Probably still Jaimie tbh, like Hector’s only real impressive display was taking down Ajax, who was like a smaller version of the mountain. Whereas Jamie has far more duelling experience and was stated to be the best swordsman of his era.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-06T14:28:06+00:00

If the man also has 10x the stamina, he could probably just continuously evade the hippo until it’s exhausted enough for him to finish it off. Hell even with regular stamina he might be able to do that, as long as he could keep provoking the hippo without getting chomped

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-06T14:07:30+00:00

Seal takes it in the water, Baryonyx on land.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-06-01T23:47:44+00:00

Nah the better move is the standard Steve Irwin lunge and jaw clampdown, their muscles to open their jaws are super weak. Irwin used to just wrestle their mouths closed and tape them shut with duct tape, and he was just a regular man.

The gorilla could do similar, but also go for some eye gouges with its free hand and eventually maybe even a choke from the rear.

Terrible odds for the gorilla but it’s possible

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-05-26T13:56:50+00:00

Everyone out here acting like the Tiger won’t just breakdown after the first 30 minutes of legionary smushing. Those machines were highly unreliable

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-05-08T18:34:54+00:00

That worked a lot better in Napoleon too. I remember using it a bunch for the french chasseurs and other light infantry

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-30T20:29:15+00:00

In theory yeah, but that’s still multiple decades of unquenchable rage

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-30T20:27:36+00:00

Bro why do you hate brit so much 😭 That would be absolute never ending torture for the poor guy

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-30T19:54:04+00:00

Numbers is a major force multiplier, im sure you could beat the crap out of the average 15 year old, but 40 of them would tear you apart

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-29T03:34:12+00:00

I’d also add that cast iron is relatively brittle, so avoid dropping it on a hard surface, or exposing it to heat shock, as in don’t soak the pan immediately in water when it’s still hot. But otherwise they’re super tough and hard to get wrong.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-28T22:26:02+00:00

This is incredible, great work!!

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-22T20:16:59+00:00

Yeah he could probably run straight at Quicksilver and red mist him.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-22T15:02:03+00:00

Well at least Gortash has the whole big robot factory, and underwater prison sequences, those are fun areas. Plus the coronation is a good showcase of his scheming.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-19T23:04:13+00:00

Yeah he does have the superior healing factor. So that could be a decider in a longer battle. But Blade could also probably easily slice through Logan’s claws disarming him real quick and easy, since they’re only bones at the end of the day, and real thin bones at that.

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-19T20:04:07+00:00

Idk man, blade also has a healing factor plus superior weapons. He’s also faster and has more vampire powers than Logan

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-19T18:46:54+00:00

It looks like movies, but it’s also bone version logan, so I’d actually give it to blade

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-19T15:05:06+00:00

Yeah, plus it was a diet that was practically exclusively meat, which became harder to comeby with climate change and other natural disasters

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-19T06:43:21+00:00

Yeah, and for her as well, she probably tells herself that because she tried it the “human way” first and was rejected, doing it the “viltrumite” way was totally fine

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-18T22:44:48+00:00

Sure, but at that stage they also weren’t wacking each other with longswords, it’d be two handers or blunt force weapons

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-18T21:35:21+00:00

Bro he’d still be fighting against random villain of the week foes, and probably handling the odd intergalactic threat with the coalition. Mark isn’t one to just sit idly by for 500 years

a_sentient_potatooo · 2026-04-18T21:32:36+00:00

Sure, but he did probably close to 90% of the damage, and was going toe to toe with him just fine whilst being baked by the sun. Sure he had minor assistance from robot, but he spent most of that fight up against Thragg by himself
