C.A. give archmages star dragon mount option.

[Deep echo sound]

At least in campaign.

[Kaaz]

why? they have moon dragons

[Mactalon]

It's not really worth quibbling over which dragon they get is it?

It is! There's a lot of differences between the dragons. So many differences.

Differences upon differences.

Star dragons are old.

Just like princes and princesses, few dragon mounts in lore-friendly and great in campaign.

I want my new lords to be on pair with generic ones, not weaker in every way.
Star dragon is the strongest dragon in the game and I like my high elf lords to ride it.

Hell no. There is already WAY too many star dragons in our campaigns between princes, princesses, and feral star dragons.
I understand that it's cool to give players choices and all but if there is 3 different dragons then having different characters limited to one type rather than giving to all characters access to the highest level mount is way better.

Sun dragon for fire mages gives us dragon mages, moon dragon for archmage, and keep star dragon for prince and princesses.

And you'd likeeveryone to run around with star dragons and I suppose feral dragons in your army too?
What is it, is there some kind of silly star dragon bargain sale going on in caledor? Like, buy a horse get 10 star dragons for free or something?

You realize that technically pretty much only Imrik should be on a star dragon right?
They're already giving a huge consession to the lore by allowing all princes and princesses to run around with a star dragon.

I'd say that if you want even more so that everyone and their mother goes shopping on the back of a star dragon in ulthuan like in the age of Dragontamer himself, it shouldn't be hard to mod it.

I guess they're really just the star of the show.

They should have star dragons as an option. This is loreful.

And, if no star dragon mount - I will never recruit and use my paid archmage lord option.

Which is too sad, because they look excellent. But only the strongest units can make it in top armies. And some players run only the top armies in the late game.

why, they are casters, aslong as they are in the air it doesn't matter what they fly on

No lol this is definitely not loreful.
in the age of Dragontamer yes sure.
That was more than 6,000 years ago.

No. Dragons are extremely rare in the lore and only a few elves can wake them from hibernation.

[Deep echo sound]

This is easy. Anything that is not sisters of Avelorn, star dragons or heroes stacks are weaker options in 120+ turn campaign.

For optimal build, the strongest possible - only the best units will make it in.

And we already will get basic dragon riding mage, so same power level for lord is a shame.

[Kaaz]

if you are really ignoring casters just because of the dragon they are on, more fool you

[Denveldon]

You want cheese and not balance like most of us, so download a mod and be happy

[zefyris]

Gosh when I see that I really wish the AI in battle would become good enough to punish that kind of stupid mass ranged cheese thing way more often.
