@CA: Before the patch comes out, could you give some quick love to the RIpperdactyl and A. Sally?

So far CA has given us nothing like treats, and I really love the directions they have taken with most units! Aside from two...

You see, I absolutely love the Ripperdactyl models! They look simply gorgeous! However, I unfortunately never find myself using them due to how quickly they die even to chaff (even when my infantry took the brunt of the assault). For their cost they should be the #1 option to be used against enemy backline missile infantry.

Suggestion: CA could grant them more mass and a weaker version of the Mammoth's contact damage? This way, with proper micro, you could land your vulnerable and expensive Ripperdactyl into enemy archer formations, and then quickly move them out or to other units. Seeing as how cavalry could quickly counter that, it does seem like a fair trait, considering their cost.

And the Ancient sally feels a bit too much nerfed. Especially now that the Empire has anti-large missile units, and the fact that many factions counter her with relatively little missile pressure.

Suggestion: Perhaps CA could give her her old range back, or some more health?
I know that the Lizardmen are getting all new kinds of goodies, but the Ripperdactyl are hardly ever used in multiplayer (for a good reason) due to how poor they perform for their cost. These changes would be justified with how vulnerable and expensive they are, and I hope that CA will consider adding this or something similar that would have the same desired effect.

Rework the salamanders and the razordons, make the salamanders actual flamethrowers

I like the fireballs way more than flamethrower units, like in terms of ease of use

Agreed, proper flamethrowers would be a significant improvement.

This. It would make them more accurate to the tabletop and lore and probably look a bit better too. Plus it would help with the overlap problem between Razordons and Salamanders.

Forgot to mention, you dont like salamanders, you like razordons, thats their job, salamanders have always been flamethrowers

I'm fine with either option. Problem is, is that the Salamanders are good at screening light cavalry, and going after monsters.

meanwhile the Ripperdactyl get stuck too easily, and don't make enough of an impact before they have to pull back out.

The increase in mass, and the contact damage (like the mammoth has), would go a long way!

Also the Ancient Sally (Salamander) is just too easily focused, especially by anti large missiles. Giving her either her old range back, or more health to survive focus fire, would go a long way!
