Dragons - not fighting with them, honest!

#1

Hi,

at the risk of getting cold shouldered following the recent discussion, I do have a quick question about moving with Dragons.

Once recruited do they move with my character on an 810, or do you have to move as a company on 820. Also, in order to fight with an army do I just need to move the character to the same hex as the army or do I need to join that army on an 870?

Many thanks in advance.

Simon

RD: Neither! The dragon will fly off and join one of your armies. It will
appear or your next result sheet under the army chosen as a character
travelling with the army. If you don't have any armies you don't get the
dragon. There are differences of opinion how the dragon chooses which
commander to join, maybe either the one with highest com rank, or highest
total ranks. I think there's general agreement that commanders' artifacts
do not influence the dragon's choice.

Hope that helps,

Richard.

Richard,

that makes a lot of sense - effectively, my character recruits the Dragon,
which then flies off to join one of my armies leaving the recruiting
character to carry on with his turn. If I understand aright, that character
gives a response as his first order and, if he hasn't been eaten, can also
give a second order, whilst the Dragon either picks his teeth with my
characters bones or moves to join one of my armies.

Thanks for the help, it'll be interesting to see which army he joins as I
have several of comparable size in the vacinity.

Cheers

Simon

I have direct evidence from several turns that skill artifacts matter,
and that dragons go to the army commander with the highest total skill
ranks including skill artifacts but excluding stealth. I've used this
with transfer artifact orders to parcel out multiple dragons to
multiple armies...I've had three running with the same nation at the
same time.

cheers,

Marc

Can I just check my understanding here? Does a Dragon always seek out your
most powerful commander or does it go to the nearest army and then choose
between army commanders?

Also, when does the Dragon move? Is it before or after 810? In other
words, could I move a commander to an army in the same turn as I recruit the
Dragon in order to entice him in?

Thanks in advance here - there seem to be more subtleties than at first
sight.

Cheers

Simon

Distance is not an issue - total skill rank and then some randomness
is.
