@CA: Before you release the next patch, please give the Dread Saurian more missile resistance

I know that his counter is supposed to be concentrated range fire, but for a 2400/3200/4000 unit he just melts way too fast. He is supposed to be this huge investment that will eventually pay off with some support. But even with support any slight focus fire will melt him.

Would you consider giving him more missile resistance?

Deep_echo_sound#4293

+4 attack, +4 defense for all, and +200 gold cost on feral variant.
Because, huge price difference, of 900 minimum, makes other 2 variants obsolete.

And the most important thing! Please, no cap in campaign for dread saurian exclusively.
Star dragons do not have them, mammoths do not have them. No one outside tomb kings should have them. Before, if you wish, you implement new additional and optional caps mode in campaign.
"Total war" is a sandbox.

I think the current cost for the Feral variety is fine, considering how easily they rampage.

Either A: Lower the cost of the Dread Saurian and ROR (3000 and 3600 respectively)

Or B: grant the Dread Saurian and ROR the +4 to MA and MD, while keeping the Feral variety the same.

This in addition to granting them more missile resistance due to their huge size. Perhaps 25% missile resistance? Otherwise they will melt far too easily.

Dread Saurians in the warhammer lore are meant to by hyper rare. Certainly rarer than mammoths. Not sure how rare Star Dragons are in comparison. But it does not really fit with the lore to have armies composed of many dread saurians, although someone will likely create a mod to disable the caps, I think they are on the generous side already. At least in the campaign game.
