The question isn't if people will move to BB2; they will eventually, given enough time (like, multiple years). The question is if enough people will hold out on BB2 long enough to make it untenable for the publisher so that the money dries up and we end up with half a game. I certainly hope that doesn't happen, but then again, if Cyanide and Focus weren't so poo poo, then all our doubts wouldn't be so reasonable.

I'm pretty much a newbie at Blood Bowl but my thinking is that since the Cow has massive strength already, it's pretty easy to get 2 or even 3 dice on a block and avoid "Both Down" altogether, while Pro serves the dual purpose of offsetting the Loner and Wild Beast, making Minotaur more reliable.
I really really like blitzing with him and Pro lets me do that more reliably basically.

Any lizards build discussion:
"Why would you get a Krox when your team is half pretty big guys already and he has a negatrait?"
"Because if you're playing Lizards anyway, you may as well go full Funhaver and Kroxball your way down the field."

Krox in a Saurus cage: our only obstacle to scoring is the turn counter our butter fingers.

This seems like kind of a non sequitur. Against an agility team, he isn't there to contribute to your bashing; he's there to impair their mobility, which is something your team has limited access to. A 3+ dodge is disastrously less reliable than a 2+. You can also certainly get more out of your Krox than the tail, it just helps that his baseline contribution for just being in the way is already a bit of a standout among big guys.


Pretty sure even Tryhard Lizards takes the Krox because the alternative is another Skink and one less AV9 meatwad to hide him behind.

So I beat the campaign. It gives you bizarre handicaps and weird challenges.

Last match is against skaven who randomly mutate. One of the mutations is turning into a rat ogre. Lmao though because they give you a str 5 and a str 4 star players so I ended the match 2-0 with one skaven on the field.


In other news, do I have an insanely bad streak of luck, or does the AI weigh the dice? 6 turns to pick up the ball as lizards, next game I had 2 saurus and one Krox injury while the brettonians had zero. Finally rage quit when after breaking four orc cages and their ball carriers, another orc caught the ball every loving time. And not like hot potato until they catch it, but first try blitzer.
And in 4 matches the AI has not once rolled both down unless they had block, including a mirror match vs lizardmen.

Especially if they manage to get a Krox with block...

If they get there- My skinks get stomped so hard if I try to pressure the ball at all. And as soon as I got block on a saur next game he got ogred and took a minus AV. I read all bbtactics and 2:1 grind stuff but when I'm on the defensive I lose a saur to a ko and then can't protect my skinks which means no pressure so no early score for the other team. By the time they score and it's payback time all my skinks are dead. Did I just get owned by someone who knows how to ruin lizards? Is it worth spacing my saur on the Los to avoid their big guy? Ie not SKS but S K S. Sorry if rambling I'm so upset at the world right now, felt like I could do nothing right woe is me

So, the options are:

a) 3 Blitzers, 4 Black Orcs, 1 Runner, 3 Linemen, 3RR for 990k.
b) 4 Blitzers, 4 Black Orcs, 1 Runner, 2 Linemen, 2RR for 970k.

It costs around 150k to buy an apothecary and either a Blitzer or a RR. I think the best plan is leaving the Blitzer for last, then fire any poor lineorc that has been injured. I don't feel comfortable playing with 2 RR with orcs.

I think the thing that bugs me the most about blood bowl 2 is I rarely have full games.

If I am losing I usually tough it out and try to murder some of them or get passes or what not. But most people just instantly concede if anything slightly bad happens.
