Dwarves or Lizardmen

[popejubal]

yeah... that is the one thing I hate about Recon. The scouting force, the mobile guys out front are the ones that have to stop to heal.

So much for being mobile.

(In all fairness if Recon could get March, I would focus entire games on them forgoing the melee like all together.)

Fellowship of Leaves -> Disciple of Leaves -> 2XP (apprenticeship) for March -> Upgrade to Ranger.

I love it since I don't even need to adopt the religion.

It's just a shame that the Disciple of Leaves -> Ranger -> Druid upgrade path doesn't let me summon Treants.

I have to say, I'm surprised by this poll. I've always picked lizardmen, because hunters excellent to have for exploring in the early game, and I usually pop dungeons as I find them. Dwarves would be better if you were planing on attacking a city, but I've never been in that situation. Getting those Lizards early is one of my favorite pops besides the obviously great ones like GPs or new disciplines (although I wish I could disable those, I'm not a fan of religions being founded like that).

Sometimes, especially in a relatively minor event, I prefer the more amusing option regardless of cost/benefit.

I like a dwarf or two guarding an Elven town, it pleases me.

Lizardmen are creepy.
