Match up Lizardmen vs Dwarves (multiplayer)

[Be Happy]

I have hard times playing lizardmens against dwarves.

Seems like mass saurus is an idea, but the dwarves infantry are just flat out better. I don't even talk about iron breaker, hammerer or long beard, just simple dwarves warrior with great weapon is a great trade against saurus.

Kroxigors and Cavalry seems inneficient and way to susceptible to take artillery shot, thunderers, and slayer.

I tried with flyer, but terradon don't do enough damage.
I also tried mazdamundi but his magic seems not enough efficient and he's quickly taken care of with artillery barrage from long distance.

The problem is mainly their great armor, and lizardmen have slow infantry.

If people have idea i'm interested.

Eh, Saurus warriors on a 1:1 ratio will chop regular dwarves to bits.
Funnily enough, the great weapon ones will die even faster time wise, but with same'ish amount of kills. That melee defense loss is actually felt pretty bad.
In both of my tests the dwarves broke at around 20 units left, and got around 15 kills.

Use magic to debuff them, it works for me (I have one mage per army, and I mostly use buff/debuff magic)

If you think dwarf infantry is better than lizardmen you are smoking some wierd stuff.

I've taken out dwarven level 5 cities with lvl5 walls defended by a full stack with just Kroq Gar and his stack of saurus warriors and like 4 horned ones.

Yes dwarves infantry are better than lizardmen one. And i'm talking multiplayer, not campaign.

Also dwarves warrior with great weapon are cheaper than saurus (500 vs 800 from memory). You can almost afford 2 unit for 1 saurus unit.

@XMass did you use beast or heaven ?

@be Happy :
If I remember correctly it was heaven. the school with a -30/_60 armor and a +20/+24 attack/def and +30 armor on lvl 3.

I mostly stick with beast cauz i really like flock of doom and incarnassion of wissan but i'll try heaven next time, seems like a good idea. Thx for the tip.

Oops, I don't play mp (and I must confess I miss part of the title, so my answer is not so revelant :p )
