Dragon Recruitment

January 25, 2015 8:10:24 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

OK in my current game as Gilden, I have just recruited a Storm Dragon. Does that kind of mean that I win?

 

Is there anything that could actually challenge my army with a freaking dragon in it? I've already killed a Clambercoil with no losses. Compared to my last 2 dragon fights...that's a huge improvement. Dragons suck!!! (When you're the one fighting them anyway).

Getting dragons is almost a guaranteed win. Yet the AI is very, very unlikely to get them, so really it's an advantage to the player.

But you have to climb the civics tree to get them, and find dragon lairs to build on, so they aren't a reliable way to win.

If you are careless, one or two crushing blows could kill your dragon. Also, don't get cocky and send dragons alone.

Hmmm I see.

 

I actually only got the dragon because a clambercoil was sitting right on the road between two of my major cities. It was either kill it or go the long way around each time. Once I saw that it was sitting on a lair, I decided to put some time into civics.

 

Thanks for the reply. I got it just in time to stop a second clambercoil from eating my conclave town. It wiped out my strongest army and 2 heroes.
