Dragons

Dragons, when sent to an opposing kingdom, will wreak havoc on their lands -- reducing income and lowering the draft rate of a province. The dragon will continue its work for six months or until slain by the kingdom's forces.

• All dragons result in 10% lower income and the loss of 20% of new draftees.

• The only way to kill a dragon is to attack it with soldiers and specialists. Unfortunately, fighting a dragon is suicidal, and no troop sent to fight the dragon will return.

• Every soldier sent will destroy 1 point of strength. Every Specialist will destroy 5 points.

• Dragons will fly away on their own on the dawning of the 6th Utopian month.

• Dragons send range is from 20% smaller to 25% larger in relation to kingdoms networth.

• Only Monarchs have the option to start a dragon project. Once a dragon project is started a Fund Dragon menu link will appear in the navigation area for all qualified provinces to help funding the dragon project. Fully funded the dragon will instantly begin ravaging the designated kingdom.

• Provinces in protection may not fund or slay a dragon.

• Once a kingdom receives a Dragon a menu link will appear in the affected players navigation area allowing them access to the Slay Dragon section.
