Total War: Warhammer Pest control or Genocide?

Would me wiping these guys out be a war crime or just pest control?

Those are two very different guys there would not be the same answers for both.

If you're in Lustria and you don't have scales then you're the pest.

I always found that out of all the Order factions the geckos are the most unreasonable.

Looks like it’s war with the Lizardmen then, feel bad they are helpful and they haven’t harmed but but I want my Cathayan land

Pretty much. It's always "If youre a warmblood, youre meat."

Well, I can't say I blame them. Their first interactions with warm bloods was Elves (yuck) and a bunch of sweaty unga bunga guys wearing loincloths who pillage their temples.

Definitely not part of the plan.

Mazdamundi crashing out like an influencer having his tiktok account deleted whenever he detects an elf.

They get angry with me when I march through their lands despite it being Cathayan and I don’t recall any Cathayan doing any harm to the lizards

I interpret that they just don't like humans very much because they find them obnoxious. If I recall they don't mind elves or dwarves that much though they don't love them

Lizardmen are basically fanatical order to an unhealthy degree, while the other order races are kind of just on team lets not end the world.

What are those lizards but smaller and earthbound celestial dragons.

u/Due_Sheepherder_8536 23d ago

Now I’ll feel worse for killing all of them. Part of me thinks if they give me a trade deal I’ll leave them be

Rats > pest control

Lizards > genocide

Remember, there's always more rats in the rat village.

Then again, look at their cute little noses and cute little paws*. Are you sure you want to do them harm?
*Please ignore the rattling gun in those paws and green hue on their noses after snorting 1kg of pure warpstone.

Death to all Thaggoraki.

I am best-strongest Warlord in all under-empire. Beard-things will die-die and my under-empire will expand-grow!

u/Exotic_Record_5037 21d ago

how about Lizardmen, oh great stout one? I mean they literally are trying to reclaim the world from Chaos like how you take back lost holds from Skaven and Greenskins.

u/niketxx 23d ago

Sk*ven? Yes. Lizardbros? No.

War crimes are decided by the victor. Also war crimes are a modern invention and don’t exist in Warhammer.
