Can I have more false princesses yet?

[rutra80]

I'm before the final battle and I have a total of 28 (false) princesses, I'd like at least 10 more, can I acquire them somehow yet? Feline doesn't offer ones anymore, only common males & females.

I don't believe so. I'm afraid you're not going to get more than roughly 28 Dragon Riders, if that's what you're planning. I think the designers of the game really wanted people to focus at some point on 1 of the 3 races tied to your PC choice (i.e., orc, demon, undead). B/c you'll find plenty of level 5 units for those races, and boosts for those races by handing over the Great Artifacts (12 total) to allies at the Shelter...

So far I've found 10 real princesses (two of which are consumed in the questline) and 30 false ones. And I suspect there's a few more princesses around on the two islands I haven't visited yet.

Technically you could have 38+ Dragon Riders where I am (and I'm not all that close from the final battle), which shouldn't be too far from what's available from Leadership.

Is it possible you missed some?

Hmm AFAICR I don't find false princesses but create them? I remember converting common females with the help of a princess dress... Anyway I finished the game today, won the last battle with level 1-3 common units. I practically never used any of the new units : (

The first princess you get, you turn in to the dragon to open up the Dragon Rider questline.

From there, you open up an option at the school in Inselburg; when offered 5 princesses for half a million gold, you can refuse and instead ask for 10 almost-princesses for the same cost. After you buy them, you can buy the real princesses.

That's a million gold for 5 real and 10 false princesses (15 total).

When you've turned in a few princesses (hopefully false ones) to the dragon, Marie Curie has the False Princesses option. You have to turn in a real princess to complete the questline but you get 20 False Princesses from it. Total: 34 princesses (4 real 30 false).

You get a real princess in Dragandor, and you can get 3 more in the sky island. Total: 38.

There's very possibly more princesses elsewhere, I just haven't found them or gotten to those parts yet.

I play the high-Leadership class (Demoness) and I have the rank III medal for hiring female units (-20% Leadership cost) so I can hire a *lot* of Dragon Riders... and I can only hire about 27 or 28 of them. I might very well get to above 38 before I finish the game, but just barely.

The 3 daughters of the Amazon queen are real princesses you can get late in the game. Don't forget to ask the queen and the old lady in the snake hut if they want to rider dragons too. They won't but will appreciate the offer.

I was playing Demoness too, and I was stuck on 28 princesses / dragon riders while I could have 38 too. I somehow rushed through the game without uncovering islands of amazons, pirates, and the 2nd of orcs.
I was somehow sure that false princesses were made of common females by Feline, with the help of reproduced dwarven princess dress. I thought that I may come with any number of common females and have them converted to false princesses anytime after completing the quest... Seems not.

there are 3 more real princess in the floating island(dragon island), after obtain the wing, try fly around, and after u steal the 3 princesses, come back again later, u can have another fight with some dragon and get some equipment.

Yes, unfortunately the false princess quest is unrepeatable.

You probably missed the 10 false princesses from the charm school? They're tricky to get because you don't see the option until you've been offered (and have refused!) the 5 real princesses, and when you do buy the 5 real princesses you can't buy the 10 false ones anymore because the NPC leaves.

If there's three more princesses on the Amazon island then it all adds up to 41 possible Dragon Riders. I doubt many people have the capacity to hire much more than that.

Yeah IIRC I took real princesses then.
