No New Mount? Disappointing

[[L9] Rhinopotamus]

Dragons Dawn looks cool, but putting a Lizardfolk on a horse, mini-pony, unicorn, warg, wolf, or spider.... just ewww .

Ruins the whole aesthetic of the lizardfolk, dragonkin, kobolds, etc whatever your making not being able to put them a lizard, raptor, frog, or salamander is just worthless.

Edit: The Devs literally could have delayed this DLC for two weeks and made the Slither the Lizardfolk mount, but instead wanted to rush this out the door and collect their money as fast as possible. I now regret buying the Season Pass. Awesome game and had hopes the DLC would be equivalent to the release in comparable expectations based on development time and content, but lazy devs have shattered that expectation.

You're right. We'll see if one of these mounts has been added, even as a cosmetic option. If not, it's a big fail.

Using the same logic Humans should only be riding on primates...

(I jest but at the same time a Gorilla mount sounds awesome).

Yeah, but they had opportunities to add mounts associated with both races (Lizardmen and Draconians). In the original game Lizardmen had giant frog cavalry and in AoW 3 the redesigned more humanoid Draconians rode "raptors", some kind generic dinosaur-like creatures. They should at least include all the every mount for each of the old races' cavalry from the previous games as options.

Remember when Tigrans were Egyptians, riding on actual giant Tigers and Panthers?

A fitting mount would have been the bare minimum, though not even the vanilla races all have their own (e.g. Cats use the Black Horses). I also had expected the Draconians to get their own culture, so they could look and play closer to their AOW3 original.

Also considering how few options the non-human races have for their visuals, and cannot even equip half the apparel, it all reeks of layoffs by PDX during an unfinished development process.

Yah, this is my only big complaint about the DLC as well. I can kind'a get behind putting my eventual crocodile barbarians on boars. It feels at least somewhat fitting. Sadly, there isn't a good option for chameleons or snake people. I suppose spiders kind of work, but those cost a trait.

Ideally, we should've gotten giant toads as a basic mount option and then raptors as a trait option.

It is the same reused assets from Planetfall "Skarns" which to me this is not DLC this is fast food release stuff if you ask me.

Well at least the Shakarn were a big improvement over what they did to the Draconians in Age of Wonders III *insert look how they massacred my boy meme here*.

i want my mammoth riders back

[Aurumworks]

We have five varieties of horses and not a single lizard. And no stag beetles either. Not even as enemies. Definitely room to expand here.

[[L9] Rhinopotamus]

Mammoth, Tigers, Lizards, Raptors, Stags, Stag Beetles, Bear, Gryphon, Manticore, and Cockatrice.

Many of these were in AoW3 or AoW2

One of the options for Lizards are indeed based on the Shakarn but there's other options available as well. You also need to keep in mind that everything we reuse from older games needs to be update and reworked to use the new Modularity system, which is not a small task.

Sadly we just didn't have the resource to add a Mount in this Content Pack. With the small team we have it all comes down to resource management, and with the Dragon Customisation and Animation needs getting a mount in wasn't in the cards.

A small team? How about pushing/rewarding the mod-community then. Might be a good idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
