    The fact that low foliage cover affects your dragon is hilarious. I’m just imagining some enemy standing and looking at a massive dragon then telling his boss that the bush your standing in makes it too hard to hit you.

      On a side note:
      If you move over water on the map while playing a Dragon Lord/Dragon Units, they fly.
      Now, you can change the size of the wings on your dragon - and the smaller they are, the faster they flap! Or the smaller the bigger opposingly.

    Nice new video. A few remarks:
    - Are summoms really nerfed? I mean how often did they survive 3 Turns to begin with in your army?
    It just means focussing on non-summoned enemies is somewhat viable for the enemy. Also there might now be design space for a "banishment" type spell.
    - I think you need to read the magic origin text again. They don't just _count_ as magic origin
    - it seems like the AI is very focused on your dragon, whenever they can reach it. They do not take kills, going for a dragon in Shield Aura instead.
    - somehow hitting _Retry_ at 45:15 made you fight the battle ;)
    Truly a mystery for the ages...

    • @thegamesforreal1673
      @thegamesforreal1673 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I think the AI likes to focus your dragon so much is because the Dragon counts as a mythic unit as well as a hero. The AI is more likely to focus down heroes and they're also more likely to focus down mythics. Individually, the difference is usually not so massive as to cause the AI to be stupid and not finish off other units, but now that you can have a mythic hero, the AI just loses all sense of target priority and opts to always shoot the big lizard.

    In WoW , ''most'' dragon suffixes are (Male/Female): Red : Strasz/Strasza , Blue : Gos/Gosa , Green : Us/Ra , Bronze : Ormu/Ormi (weird exceptions like Anachronos and Chronormu who is actually female), Black : Ion/Ian and Ia for females, plus a lot of edgy non-draconic names.

      I think Chromie is canonically a male dragon who likes to appear as a lady gnome. Not sure if it's a subtle nod to guys playing girl characters in video games because they like how they look or if Chromie is trans. Not sure it matters, to be honest.

    Little cool suggestion regarding your Dragon Lord:
    They are extremely strong. Even moreso, coming with the Skill Points you can place on them. You can quite literally make them a one-man Army and just annihilate most stacks.
    Pick Nature Dragon. As for both the Aspects (Levels 4 & 12) pick Materium & Shadow (Nature works too). And for 8/16 pick Summon Animal and/or Mass Rejuvenation. Or, if one isn't available, pick the Frostfire Detonation.
    As for the actual skill points themselves:
    Tail swipe, Scales, Comet, Tail Bash, Quickening Breath, Nature Aura
    Then you can focus on like more scales, Defense, etc., until you get around Mid-game / Late-game and you an reset your perks to syngergize more with the build as well as still being a One-Dragon Army.
    This came from Ic0n Gaming's guide for his One-Man Dragon Army haha.

It would also maybe allow u to switch ur playstyle a little bit (?)

    For Warcraft dragons, their name endings depend on sex and flight. So, strasz for males, strasza for females (red dragons). The other flights have different naming conventions (gos, gosa for male/female blue dragons respectively) For green dragons the naming convention is -us like in Eranikus from sunken temple or -ra like in Ysera.

    Could you let us know if you got any notes for this run? I saw JumboPixel's early access vid and was curious if people playtesting have started laying down a build that green dragons are the go-to.
