Default Re: Draconian Race - Brainstorming

Thanks for the input so far

What about this:
Early age: Draconians and Dragons are only present in full glory.

Middle age age: Draconians are still there, but the dragons are dying/instinct/becomming rare race. The introduction of human servants/worshippers/slaves.

Late age: No dragons (besides the pretender if you choose a dragon as prender that is). Only a few Draconians left. The humans build a cult about the Dragons and Draconians (like Dragon Knights and something like that style). The introduction of earth magic path and a mechanic steam dragon build by humans.


I think that would fit nicely into Dom3 world if you see how the other nations evolve.

What about half-draconians?

What about I just slit my wrists right now and get it over with?

Why do something simple like have the Draconians gradually cede their lands to humans when you could go one step more crazy and have the draconians gradually cede control of their lands to goblins or something instead?

The dragon knights could be goblins wearing the scales of their long departed draconic masters. In the meantime you could have goblins riding increasingly small and stupid dragons until the late era they've got a goblin on a wyvern as a scout.

Enclosed is an example unit pic of what that might look like.

Default Re: Draconian Race - Brainstorming

I've got an idea for one nation, with somewhat-draconic theme.

The whole nation is based around Wyvern Knights. Is that fine? If not, it's pretty basic strength-based ranged weapons (perhaps modded) and Earth for Strength of Giants/few blood hunters for possible Blood bless.

Just wanna say that I've slowly started the Draconian nation mod.

Here's a test sprite how the may look like:



Done by adding/modify existing unit pieces and a bit of recolouring.
