Dragon Characteristics#
Architectural wonders, great structures, and aqueducts are sources of power for dragons and influence their birth and development. When a dragon is born, its stats record the number of wonders, megaliths, and great structures in the empire or principality that influenced it.
All great buildings in a principality are counted, regardless of the settlement in which the castle with the dragon cave is located. The impact extends to all settlements in the principality, including buildings erected outside the immediate vicinity of the cave. The Great Ear of Corn, available for construction in settlements within the principality, is also included in the calculation.
Basic characteristics of dragons#
Each dragon has basic characteristics that determine its abilities.
- Intention (enhances all dragon characteristics).
- Strength (combat characteristic).
- Fury (combat characteristic).
- Flair (ability to find gold).
Initially, all dragon stats are equal to 100.
The influence of buildings during the birth of a dragon#
If a dragon is born in a principality that contains wonders, megalithic structures, and great buildings of level 5 or higher, each of them has a permanent effect on its stats.
- Miracle (great ear of corn, giant sunflower, queen of the night) - intention +5.
- Great Warrior Complex - Intention +5.
- Aqueduct - Intention +5.
- Giant Engine - Intention +5.
- Artificial Intelligence - Intent +5.
- Amphitheater - strength +10.
- Warrior Statue - Fury +10.
- Carved Tower - Flair +10.
These bonuses last for the dragon’s entire life. A maximum of four buildings of the same type are counted.
The influence of buildings on living in amber caves#
If the dragon resides in the amber caves of the principality, the same types of buildings and the same coefficients have an effect, but only for the period of residence near them.
- Great buildings of level 5 or higher are counted.
- No more than four identical structures are counted.
- Broken wonders and buildings have no effect.
Summation of effects#
Equal coefficients are cumulative. For example, if a dragon is born and resides near two Wonders, its Intent stat increases to 120. The higher the stat value, the stronger the dragon’s corresponding ability. In particular, high Intuition increases the chance of discovering large gold caches. Careful placement of Wonders and Great Buildings can significantly boost dragon stats and improve their effectiveness.
