Are you guaranteed any dragon units in the campaign?

[Pluton, King of the Underworld]

Wondering if you can get any of those cool dragon units. Right now I'm at the swamp section seeing a bunch of swamp dragons and would like to field some of those in my army.

it would be a spoiler if we told you, but make a positive deal with a Dragon and then take the Dragon Isle path. :)

Last mission in the swamp is your first chance.

I'm okay with spoilers. Whats the way I can guarantee I get dragons once I reach the last mission of the swamp?

there is a dragon cave in the last map of lizard lands....go in, give dragon stuff to buy him off, he joins you temporarily....gives you an egg of trust. hand in the egg to the other dragon in the dragon isles map, and you get a dragon mount for your sister.

Dragon mount is meh. Move speed is 3, same as on foot. Armor 2, melts to any archer. And since its your sister, with her multiple 'disappointed' debuffs, morale is also crappy, so takes a ton of damage from magic sources as well.

Not a front-line unit by any means. Mid-line. Lets you hover above your archer screen and cast chain lightning in reasonable safety, but it needs a pegasi unit in front of it for its 50% missile resit aura, and thanes on the ground for damage and morale auras and banners. THEN it shines.

But basically its just a flying mount.

you combine the dragon-mounted sister with pegasi-flying princess. thats the combo you want. princess has Champion ability for +40% damage. cast that on sister, 2 thanes with dmg banners for another +60% dmg, suster has skill +50% mgc damage, give sister 2 magic dmg rings for another +50% or 2 mana extractors for 4 mana on kill, and go to town with chain lighting II. Nuke 4 units per turn and either harvest 16 mana, and be utter bad-ass dps.

The dragon mounted Ailisa is an absolute animal! I lucked out on some of the blood oak permanent buffs and got some good added damage and health onto her. I have her set for 3 artifact slots with the Dragon Scales for some armor, the purple +50% magic amplifier and last I have the magic wand that gets you 2 mana per kill. On top of that I also went with the summon tree that gets you +50% more magic damage at the end. I don't think I could have her set up any more perfect and she wrecks.

True, on a dragon you'd feel she should be a bit faster but pair her with a few of the 2nd tier pet summons with the speed buff and she positions nicely to kill just about anything in a line of 5 with her fire breath. The fire breath costs 3 mana but most of the time you're getting 10 mana back so you're being paid to use the most potent weapon you'll get.

where'd you get him?

[slickn2002]

Yes how did you get him? And what is that green ribbon artifact?

[VladK02]

looking at deadwalk's screenshots...he is before krells tower, just got ghost sword, thats after isekal. yet has units that he should not have... lizardmen before lizard lands? centauri? they dont spawn as volunteers from camps... statue of honoka in screenshot 2 is from a set-piece location in lizard lands... something does not compute. probably unlocked the units and items in the editor somehow?

you gotta mention that man...here i was racking my brain on just what i missed for that dragon. cause in the original campaign, you dont get dragons. only the mount and that temp one in final lizard map.

[Pluton, King of the Underworld]

This is a question more for the devs but I am wondering if the DLC would have more playable dragon units? I was hoping to be able to recruit swamp dragons but learned that it is not possible.

[blindseye]

I vote for more playable flying units in general! :)

What is the benefit of turning in the Egg?
I choosed to rob the Dragon instead to pay him off and I still could get his is Dragon sister join Alisa after finishing Dragon Island. I assume with the Egg she join us during the Battle instead after.

It´s really sad that we can´t hire dragons as minor faction. I mean this is "Fantasy General" and Dragons are the most popular fantasy unit at all.
After the dragon isle you should be able to hire dragons as an own unit path. Maybe 4 units, starting with dragon baybs, younglings, adults and ancients.
This upgrade path should be really expensive in resources and supply cost (would say 2 for the lower tiers and 3 for the high tier units).
In addition we would have more flying units, which we really have a lack of....
