Hiring Dragons Tier 5

[_OkeyGoogle_]

I just started playing this game and I can't figure out how to hire Tier 5 ice and fire dragons. Who knows, please tell me

They either join you as quest reward, or when you have the option to buy them instead of fighting them or when clearing wonders and maybe with the rally if you control a wonder that has dragons.

Dragon units hired by tomes etc. will come with the first DLC.

ok, many things in this game require explanation)) too many things are incomprehensible to me as a beginner))

You could also get through the "Final Ultimatum" spell from the tome of subjugation, which can permantly mind control a fleeing unit.

That said, good luck making a dragon flee, T5 battles usually don't go that far, you either kill them fast or they kill you.

Well I just spent hours trying to break a T5 fire dragon but it seems to be impossible to bring bellow 59 morale :( I spent turn after turn, baiting him with summon towers and nothing. I found the coulprit, it is the feat named fierce.

This was posted before on using Final Ultimatum to try and tame a dragon. I have not tried it.

There's also a really convaluted method to get a dragon (and pretty much every unit besides the Mage Bane) where if you can get devolve (through the tome or the polymorph wand, preferably tome), Final Ultimatum from the Order tome for Subjugation, and than optional but recommended that one tier 2 dark tome about inflicting fear. Than you just need a lot of casting points, but than you can get a dragon by first using devolve to turn it into a tier 1 unit til the end of the battle. Than you get said unit to route and use Final Ultimatum to perma mind control it. When the battle ends it'll be yours and turn back into a dragon.

Like I said convaluted, but it works on everything but the mage bane. Mostly because even if you use the wand of polymorph to turn it into a different unit it's spell blocker ability stays active and therefore keeps you from using final ultimatum til it's dead.

Maybe you could get mage bane unit if there were 2 guarding and you kill one of them to get rid of the spell jamming effect

There is a mod that allows recruitment from the rally upon capturing a certain ancient wonder. you can also get the Lost Wizard

I'll try to do as you said. I'll let you know about success))

Golden ancient wonders (spires) let you recruit several types of dragons, from bone to ice and fire.

Hmm, dragons didn’t fall for me above tier 4. But maybe I did something wrong.

You can't use it on a dragon. Dragons never flee.
