Period.
but in fact not only for that
in case somebody is still not convinced :

- their sauromancers cost 180 gp (normal cost of many 'big' national mages), *but* they are only 3-1-? where as the others are 3-2-?

- they are all cold blooded, and it is nearly impossible for Ctis to warm up the battlefield (heat from hell : forget about it), or even worse a province (you need a global to do that!), whereas it is rather easy to winterize a province with wolven winter. Result : you have no counter against the big fatigue hit you will take when fighting in cold, like against Ermor, Caelum, etc.

- their priests are perhaps powerful, but as costly as others. The 30 gp one isnt worthy of anything because he is mainly an indep priest *without* any leadership The Serpent King has a description which doesnt fit with what he does : would you really invest 280 gp into a 17 hp combatting leader? So he will only be used as priest. For 100 gp more I get an Arch Theurg with 7 (or is it 8) levels of magic!

the list can goes one. These lizards desserve a big boost in doms II Seems that they are helped a bit, so we will see how it turns.
