BTW, is there a special reason you use Blue dragon and not one of the others?

Perhaps the fact that Water increases defense now?

Perhaps so. =)

Yup, imho he has the best breath attack.
His breath attack is AOE 3, the red dragon's breath attack is only AOE 1, and the green dragon has a bile breath attack, so AOE 5, but this is poison, so kills not fast enough.

At least at indy 5-6 the blue dragon rocks. Very often 1 breath attack on a 10-20 troop strong indy squad kills some of them and then the others fail their morale check and rout.
So very often they do not even reach your dragon .

And as endo said, the slightly better defense from water is good too.
And finally, fireshield is enchantment 3, so too much research usually, but breath of winter is only enhantment 1, so after a few turns your dragon can use it.
And he could use quickness later too .

So unless you aim for a bless imho the blue dragon is slightly better then the other 2 dragontypes.

Isn't Breath of Winter much weaker now, especially in hot provinces? What with dealing no damage and all that.

Well, I was playing with it yesterday and in combination with the natural Chill effect of the Niefel Giants, it killed off almost all of the indie lizardmen along for the raid. It is still very effective, especially against armored/glamoured units.
