Editing Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Lizardmen (section)

====Tehenhauin====
The Cult of Sotek got a minor buff with the reworking of their sacrificial pyramid. Regiments of Renown now unlock normally, while sacrifices can be spent to acquire powerful Blessed units. In addition, the updated character UI makes swapping Tehenhauin's unique banners and ancillaries very convenient and a little more useful.

Tehenhauin starts in the southwest corner of Lustria and will need to move fast to prevent Rakarth and Lord Skrolk from getting too established. Generally, Skrolk will expand further and faster, taking most of southern Lustria from the minor faction to your east. Rakarth will have few targets for expansion and will declare war on you fairly early, whereas Skrolk will ignore you until he completes his conquest. However, Skrolk is likely to be easier to defeat early on and taking his territories will give Tehenhauin some safe territory to develop since Gor-Rok will be to your north and there's little to no chance the AI will cross the ocean from the Southlands. Then you can build up the resources you need to defeat Rakarth armies of darkshards and spearmen, which are far more difficult for Tehenhauin's early-game armies to deal with. Humble heroes and skink chiefs on stegadons can be very useful at that point.

Once these two threats are dealt with, it's up to you whether you'll finish off the remaining minor factions in Lustria (Spine of Sotek Dwarfs, Tower of Dusk, Bordeleaux Errants, Luthor Harkon) or ally with them to get some unit variety. If you head north, Markus Wulfhart still can't be negotiated with and you'll have to destroy him if you want to reach Hexoatl. You may find it more interesting to head east and reach <s>the Southlands</s> Mordor, where Tiktaqto and Kroq-gar should be clinging to life as the Vermintide bears down on them. But be wary; heading to the Southlands means you'll likely meet Kairos and will need to deal with Changing of the Ways if you don't finish him off. Luckily, his defeat trait is useful for Tehenhauin.

Alternatively, using the new sea lanes will bring you to Grand Cathay and Nakai the Wanderer. Most of the territory available will be yellow, whereas Lustrian and Southlands territories are green, but the areas of Cathay you can conquer/confederate will be almost completely secure from future attack as long as you maintain good relations with Zhao Ming and Meow Ying. Nakai tends to be fairly easy to confederate once you've gotten 3 or more armies, and while he's not a stellar legendary lord he is one of the best fighters available to the lizardmen.

Tehenhauin can meet Oxyotl very early in the campaign, however all of Oxyotl's territory will be red. It's probably better to leave him independent rather than confederate him, as the AI cheats will allow him to defeat all the Chaos factions in the Southern Chaos Wastes far more easily than the player can, and none of that territory is worth anything to the Cult of Sotek. Of course, this could all be a moot point considering how hard it is to confederate Lizardmen in general.
