Lizardmen Lord recruit rank

[funkmonster7]

Other than Slann, does the Lizardmen have no other lord recruit rank buildings? Meaning every lord recruited will be at level 1 except for faction bonuses?

I knew about this a long time ago but just want to know if there's a solution.

[Dreagon]

Nope. Buildings are only for the slann. But on the other hand, if you can recruit lvl30 slann, do you really want another lord?

Stellar Pyramid of the Southern Skies, Hexoatl unique tier 5 building. Gives +1 to Lord recruitment rank. That's it.

Oldbloods have public order +1 bonus from Honoured Elder skill. It's factionwide per lord. Also I use them to hoard dinos. I guess it can't be helped then...

Thanks.

After people ignored my requests to get a mod like this made I ended up figuring out how to make the star chamber give that +1 to all lords again.

My mod is uploaded and hopefully works for anyone wanting something other then a slann late game.

Thanks.

Plus blessing of Itza, -20 upkeep for all Dinos.

Yes, that's why I said I use them to hoard dinos. But they get that skill rather late. I wouldn't put precious dinos on those lords if they're level 3... Oh well, anyway.

And Vault of Nagash, +3 lord recruit rank factionwide. :P

Is Vault of Nagash in the Pyramid of Nagash?

How do you guys deal with the +20 vampiric corruption?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Just make the public order building?
It's not osmosis so, doesn't matter if that province has high corruption.

Simple. Skaven Undercity detection. -50% public order penalty due to corruption.

Stack on a couple of +untainted buildings & you're good to go.

[funkmonster7]

Oh yes, how come I didn't think of that building haha... Probably because I never built it. Thanks, it just solved a ton of my other corruption-based problems. Like when my Vampirates capture a city, what do I do to keep it without guarding it for the next 20 turns.

[RCMidas]

There's also the Ancient City of Quintex, Morathi's start position. Get it up to tier 5 and build its unique structure, you get 50% less public order penalty due to corruption factionwide (it used to be 90%, but that was just too good to last). You want to grab that place early precisely because it is an uninhabitable territory and will take a long bloody time to build up. If you're painting the map, it's both invaluable, and something you'll be getting anyway so...

Dang, all the more reason to play Mazdamundi then. I went with Kroq-Gar...

Speaking of Mazda, how do you guys use him in battle? He's powerful, I can see that, but he doesn't really have many offensive spells. Does he just spam heal and other things to trigger his map-wide passives? Should I bring along a Skink Priest to do the nuking using his crazy high WoM reserve?

[RCMidas]

People usually bring a couple of Skink Priests along for Mazdamundi and Kroak just to serve as Arcane Conduit batteries. Mazdamundi only needs a couple of offensive spells to be going with until you get him onto Zlaaq, then he works well as a physical and magical battering ram. Mazdamundi is a "slow-burn" caster lord, in many ways. He's pretty good to be going with, but it takes a while to become truly awesome.

And unless you're playing with skill point mods or somesuch, it's best to focus on skinks mostly for his army until you tech up to Temple Guard, at which point you can pretty much just replace every normal unit with those, and give him the Temple Guard RoR as his personal wardens. It's not a balanced army at all, but it does the job gloriously - you've got other armies to take up the slack if need be anyway.
