Why do Saurus get tired so quickly?

It seems like they are getting tired quicker then they should but It likely is a problem with how they wanted to backstory of Lizard-men to go.

Its a mechanic in the table top game too if im not mistaken.. (I played Skaven and Dwarfs before they imploded the tabletop game).

Basically some of them you have to roll to see how far they move, idea being they are lazy. It mimics real life. Lizards like to sunbathe and be calm.

I think the flavor text in the army book talks about this under their special rule "cold-Blooded". The feature makes it easier for Lizard-men to pass their moral checks. Idea being they are lazy and not exactly super excitable beings. They like to go with the flow and just chill. Like I said, Sun-bathe and be calm.

Its like the chameleon that just holds on to a branch and sits there.

In contrast, when they get going and do get excited they MOVE. Hints the rage mechanic "primal instincts".

This is also why most of the battle plans are handed down by the Slan, They are more concerned with contemplating grand problems and exploring the far reaches of existence with their minds, leading to extended moments of the Lizard-men just chilling. They are the only ones capable of interpreting the old ones "master plan". So they are by their creation, the ones who can move the army to act.

It does seem like it might be nice to up their vigor... as it stands you cant improve their vigor with leaders so you get stuck with tired fighters quickly.
