We need a lizard mount option.

[newvan]

Current mounts don't really fit lizard people, even spiders. I don't care which one will it be, but it was a mistake to not include one with such thematic DLC.

[Ravenzadow]

A few more interesting non mammal mount options would go a long way for me. I'd love slither mounts as a form trait choice.

[Balekai]

Ssyessss lizard mountzsss goodzsss.

[machinecode]

The new Slither unit would work.

Since new fans seem to be mocking the idea of exotic, these were the racial mounts had in the previous games save the races that had horses:

• Dwarves - Boars
  
• Halfings - Ponies
  
• Lizardmen - Frogs
  
• Goblins - Wolves, later wargs
  
• Frostlings - Wolves, Later mammoths which became their standard cavalry in AoW3 rather than being elite cavalry/war beasts
  
• Tigrans (cats) - Giant tigers
  
• Draconians - Dinosaur-like creatures (AoW3)
  
• Shadow Demons - Demonic beetles
  
• Syrons - Alien ostrich-like creature

See, this would have been great.

Boy are you in for surprise:

I am neither a new fan, nor mocking the idea of exotic mounts - I just find it highly amusing that 'cats riding cats' and 'lizards riding lizards' are common fantasy ideas, but 'humans riding gorillas' is nowhere to be found.

yeh im actually sad that we didnt get raptor mounts like the old draconians used in AoW3

Especially as one of the possible head choice is, litteraly, an raptor.

Honestly, I would have appreciated 1 mount per racial type. Like some land-fish creature for the frogs, a feline for the cat people, lizard for the lizard people.

Naked mole-rat for moles.

Naked humans for the humans.

Bug mounts would be cool too, like them old goblin big beetles. Elephants too!

At least humans are still riding mammals. Let alone lizards, there are no other reptilian mounts (aside from the Hero-exclusive wyverns). No snakes, no turtles, no crocodilians. I'd be more than happy to accept feathered protobirds as reptilian mounts too.

Yeah I think some new giant bird mounts would be nice too, another one to add to the list. They don't need to limit themselves to only what they had before. Hell the draconians' raptors and the polar bears pulling the frostlings' Ice Queens' sleighs were only introduced in the AoW3.

This is where I'm at too. I feel like unless it's a lore thing (Like the Kahjit of ES, where both the mount and the rider are equally sentient kahjit), having 'same riding same' is just weird and dull.

I'd love more mounts, but I don't want lizards for my lizards.

I'm actually surprised just manually picking your mount isn't already a thing. Kneejerk impulse is suspciion that it's going to be sold in a DLC but probably not even that realistaclly speaking.

I miss the lurker, hopefully that becomes a mount. This is my biggest complaint with the game, the limited choice available so for mounts you only have 4-5 choices same with body and mind traits you have to select 2 which isnt enough customization. Either the choices need to be more significant or add enough small choices to get to that point, this goes for cosmetic aswell. At the moment its more a illusion of choice.

Well at least with all the mounts they've had in the past there's isn't really much more they could add. All I could think of is birds, lizards, giants snails or slugs, and maybe some other kinds of giants bugs such as giant ants or something.

Admittedly in the first game they had giant scorpions which they could theoretically repurpose as mounts, but I think they would work better as on option for a new war animal or elite, wall breaking heavy cavalry unit.
