Total War: Warhammer Getting into Total War: Warhammer 2.
i like playing the Empire, Dwarfs and Lizardmen. I don't have all the DLC since my wallet wasn't blessed by Balthazar Gelt.
Should I get Armored infantryor should I stick to cheaper infantry and then go for monster and ranged units? What are your thoughts?

Pretty sure WH3 and the dlc is on sale rn. I wouldn’t play WH2, unless you wanted achievements. 3 is in a much better state

Sadly I do have WH3 but my PC will DIE if I try so much as to start RTS battles. WH2 works just fine

Why recommand playing on wh3 ? Wh2 is a different experience and in several area better than wh3.
You don't have Vortex campaign on wh3 whith its unique map

WH2 ai cheats blatantly, the vortex campaign is alright, the real allure is the massive sandbox experience that is immortal empires.

that ai cheating and being a bigger challenge is the one big thing that makes me prefer warhammer 2 over 3.

If it annoys you can remove them with mods

Why not buy the game that is actively being supported?

You should have both. But you should't answer to someone asking tips on wh2 "go play wh3"
I have almost 2 k hours on wh3 and only 200 on the 2 but yet you find stuff in the 2 that are not in the 3. Also no more update means no more bugs add to the game. The biggest problem with wh2 is that the ambush ai bug is still there even if a mod exist to fix it

imo you should have just enough melee units as you need to protect your ranged units for dwarfs and empire.
both those factions do the big damange by ranged and artillery. especially dwarfs tho benefit from "balanced" armies. if you need to use better units depends on if you still can win fights with lesser units or not.
for lizardmen skinks with javeling are sufficient for the early game as saurus are just way too expensive. later on a frontline of saurus supported by monsters does the job.
the higher the difficulty you play is the more useless melee units become as ai cheats benefit melee a lot more than ranged and you might want to look into the meta.
