Default Re: Draconian Race - Brainstorming

Quote:
Magic paths - Fire and air
Can recruit dragons only at your home base - expensive to buy and maintain cuz dragons likes treasures
Natural enviroment +1 heat (maybe +2 ??)
I would suggest to make them heat 2.
Heat 3 is too much, but heat 2 would i think be perfect for cold blooded beings .

Magic Paths can be more flexible:
Air, fire, earth, water, nature, and death magic all sound like reasonable dragon magics.

I would give every dragon only 1 type of magic though.
So the nature dragon e.g. has 3-4 nature magic etc..

Suggested commanders:

Storm dragon, capitol only, Air 4 or Air 5 magic, flying during storm, shock immunity.
Price: At least 1000 gold.

Earth dragon, capitol only, Earth 3-5, cannot fly, could be more hydralike, so multiple heads, good protection.
Price: 1000+ gold too.

Fire dragon, capitol only, Fire 3-5, flying, strong firebreath attack, maybe heat aura, fire immunity.
Price: 1000+ gold.

Nature dragon, capitol only, not flying, regeneration, poison immunity. Like the siegfried saga "wurm".
Also decent protection. Nature 3-5.
Price: Also at least 1000 gold.

Frost dragon, capitol only, flying, cold immune, the only NOT cold blooded dragon, water 3-5, frost breath attack.
Price: Also at least 1000 gold.

Those would be the dragons, they would cost 1000-2500 gold.

I dunno how much spell modding illwinter is going to add, but for national summons you would then summon unique ancient dragon royality if illwinter adds that flexible spell modding in a patch .

Non-capitol only commanders would then be lizard or draconian commanders, and the troops would be lizards, draconians, and young dragons without magic.

Other national summons that would imho be nice:
-Hydras
-Wyvern
-Drakes (are like wyvern, quite strong dragonlike looking creatures, but smaller as dragons, and more like animals. So in the 20-100 hp range, and animals, i.e. they are simply animals of prey but not intelligent beings like dragons. They are servants of the dragons instead ).
-Skeletal Dragons/Dragonliches/Bone Dragons, one of them at least should be a commander with death magic.
The Dragonliches could be made unique and would then be powerful immortal Dragonliches with deathmagic.
They should cost then 150+ death gems and require Death 8+ to summon.

Also if you manage to get blood (probably only via wish) some creative blood dragons would be cool. Or maybe gigantic lizard demons .
