Personally, I found the early game of this faction quite frustrating, with it only getting better after a slow and long expansion of the territory. Everything seems fine but gets ultimately ruined by the start position of the faction: you are already defending against multiple enemies and, since you donвЂ™t have a great economy, you can only afford one army: you really donвЂ™t have the multiple turns required to send your soldiers around the world and complete the missions! And, when you do have the time, attacking the enemy army requires you to be at war with that faction, so here you go, even more enemies for you. Watch out though, as failing mission can empower the enemy armies or even start chaos revolts in your own territories. This allows you to teleport your armies around the world to fight these armies and complete missions which, upon completion, will give you various buffs. OxyotlвЂ™s campaign mechanics are instead really interesting, but now very cleverly implemented: you are a bulwark against dark forces and are assigned missions to fight enemy armies around the continent. OxyotlвЂ™s starting position isвЂ¦ just terrifying. Chameleon Skinks really shine under his command though, also thanks to special banners that Oxyotl can unlock and that give effects to the missiles fired by the assigned unit (magical, fire, poison damage or special effects). Speaking of the new additions to the roster instead, personally I never like ranged lords, thus I canвЂ™t really find myself at ease with Oxyotl: heвЂ™s not bad, but he seems very (too) little when compared to the devastating figure that is Taurox. The region does not aid in your multiple-fronts war, since it is particularly income-poor and lizardmen are not the strongest race economically speaking. Really not a great point to start, especially considering that you will get declared war on very easily even if you donвЂ™t provoke anyone. The Silence before the AmbushДЄs opposed to beastmen, the new lizardmen lord is instead very hard to play: his starting position is terrifying, as he literally starts (and plays for most of the campaign) encircled by enemies: Norscans to the north and east, Dark Elves to the south and west.

The new additions to the beastmen roster are great, but gorgons and jabberslythes are the real deal. Jabberslythes, opposed to gorgons, are instead powerful anti-infantry monstruosities: even if they cannot fly (yes, they are like penguins), their poisonous vortex and size make them able to stomp through the strongest units. Gorgons are incredible four-armed anti-large beasts, capable of health regeneration, that can start bringing down enemy creatures from the start of TauroxвЂ™ campaign, since you get one from the start. The incredible stats and abilities of Taurox make him a little too powerful.Д«esides Taurox itself, the DLC adds new heroes and units that I found to be incredibly useful to the beastmen roster: the new heroes are great additions both in the offensive and defensive sides of battles.

You will probably reach a point where youвЂ™ll be auto resolving all but the toughest battles, because you can just steamroll through every opponent. This new strength can also be noticed in the campaign, which is in my opinion too easy to play: the early game is a charm thanks to the very strong starting creatures, while into the late game Taurox becomes an absolute powerhouse capable of not only destroying entire units (heвЂ™s a melee expert), but also to duel with the strongest lords of rival factions (thanks to his incredible stats). These important changes finally made one of the most boring and weak races fun to play and, also thanks to the new unit additions, stronger. These are special outposts that transform the adjacent lands into bloodgrounds: while fighting and razing settlements into these areas, beastmen gather Marks of Destruction, the resource needed for victory. The beastmen got the longer end of the stick in this lords pack, also thanks to the long-awaited race rework: the lords of the race now have the ability to raise herdstones in the settlements they destroy. The amount of damage that this lord can do is simply too high, resulting in an incredibly easy early game for its Vortex campaign, considering that he also gets very good starting units. He is a melee expert that simply excels at everything: he has incredibly good damage (and armor-piercing one), good speed, plenty of hp and can basically charge the enemy general head-on, even if enemy units are in the way. Taurox is, simply said, an absolute beast (emh, yes, that was meant as a joke). LetвЂ™s start with my favourite addition: the beastmen in the Vortex campaign, under the control of Taurox the Brass Bull.
