About The Mod
Deep within the bowels of Elysium's marshes a great power musters. Those dwelling upon its edges whisper of bands of lizard warriors prowling the hinterlands, screams echoing from ruins long thought abandoned, sightings of dreaded beasts only heard of in legend, tales of blasphemous sorceries and occult rites to ancient gods - and an ever encroaching blighted miasma spreading across the lands. The Lizard Kings are stirring, once more marshalling the might of the Swamplands to reclaim the glory of antiquity past.

The Lizard King is a class based on C'tis from dominions. It focuses primarily on MA C'tis but draws heavily from EA and LA as well. As a heavily defense oriented class it plays much like a mix of the Dwarf Queen & Priest King classes; while it starts out fairly weak, the ever expanding swamplands of the lizardmen become an increasingly difficult nut to crack, with almost perpetually increasing potential as the game progresses.


The class can be somewhat difficult starting out so if you find yourself struggling, check out this handy Lizard King Beginners Guide.


The mod has been extensively tested almost exclusively on the following settings and is intended to be played on them as a baseline:

Map Size: Enormous
Era: Any [but preferably one with larger amounts of gold income available]
# of AI: 8-16 (teams of 1-3)
AI Difficulty: Knight
Wilder: Enabled
Multiplayer: Co-op (optional) [Never Tested in Versus, YMMV]

Unlike some of my other class mods the AI plays this class surprisingly well without almost any direction from me, and can be safely left on for the AI to play as pretty much all the time.

Get. Out. Of. My. SWAMP!
Over time you will slowly increase the size of your starting swamp, from a small little puddle of fungus into an ocean of deadly marsh, it will become increasingly difficult for your foes to penetrate far into your domain. Unlike many classes you will often find yourself turning your attention inward moreso than out, swatting away the flies that wander in from the outside. Even the toughest invading forces will find themselves bogged down, trying to chase lizard armies they simply can't keep up with as they rally together for counterattacks.

Sacred Swamplands
As your swamp expands you will gain terrains held sacred by the lizardmen - temples, cities, ziggurats, etc.. Each of these will grant you access to various sections of the mod's content. Every game played as the Lizard King plays out differently depending on which of these terrains you get early on, making for a highly replayable experience with shifting priorities as each game progresses.

C'tissian Population
The class functions like the Dryad/Dwarf Queens in that you get your armies by upgrading basic freespawning C'tissians into actual warriors. Unlike other such classes this is not determined by fixed rates - the population of your Temple Cities will wax and wane with relation to the size of your Swamp. The more swampland you control the larger your population source and economy will grow.

Praise the Sun!
The lizardmen follow their own particular brand of the Solar Cult, distinct from others present in Elyisum. As you restore the Sacred Swamplands, tend to the sacred beasts and construct monuments the blessings of your scaled gods increases. Ultimately you will be able to call upon them to enter the mortal realm to decimate your enemies. Each of the C'tissian gods has a different emphasis in combat and can deal with a variety of threats the class may otherwise struggle against.

Mod Compatibility
The mod should be compatible with pretty much any other mod, as it alters very little of the base game. It can potentially have issues with any mods that might make use of C'tissians from dominions but probably only if they used the same names for units in any way.

If there is a compatibility issue it is probably related to conflicting numbers being used, if that is the case simply find the conflicting numbers and alter them in the c5m of this or the other mod. The following are the relevant numbers used in the mod:

Custom Terrains 935
Terrain Groups -1055 to -1058
Variables 7335 to 7340

Yeah it can be tricky to figure out but once it clicks I honestly think this is my favorite class to play of the ones I've made.

It's intentional that the longdead/soulless don't have swamp move, its the only downside to using them.

Amazing mod! I couldn't figure out the progression for 3 attempts, but after reading your guide I popped off. Slowly building my empire of swamps was very satisfying. Nation starts off pretty weak, but slingers carried early game. The bless scaling was especially crazy by mid-late game.

Dunno if intentional or not but Lizard longdead\soulles don't have swamp mobility, so they were of limited utility in own territory

@a.red You are experiencing a mod conflict, that isn't normal.

(okay, thier spells casting is not on level 2 or 3, but still is empty...)

can other factions gain lizard tomb priests? After starting a match with this mod, and laiter reloading it, I noticed that almost all factions (including me) has gained a lizard tomb priest, who I presume are all immortal and reincarnating at thier home citadels. This is rather troubling, as it's ruins my flavor, and might make the end game a bit tidious... (they are not even that usefull, as their ritual and spell lists are empty despite being level 2 and 3...)

To be clear, I tried again, it's a fun mod.
HSmasher  [作者] 8 月 17 日 下午 2:22 
Ooof.

Fun, but I ragequit the game at "year of the fungus!". Theoretically good until hundreds of hostile mushrooms steal all my land. To be fair, this was after primal gods tore through me and the gate of hell opened up, all in the early game.

It was indeed bugged. I've updated the mod, it should work now. :steamthumbsup:

I've been trying to figure out why with my Empoisoner Guild Master, neither of their Empoisoned Arms is able to upgrade the Falchioneers. They are listed as one of the more priority basic troops that it can upgrade for the ritual description so this appears to be a bug.
