Feeding the dragons#
Dragons eat once a day, when they feel the need, and are productive immediately afterward. With the “Power System” Wonder, it’s possible to feed them regularly. It’s recommended to keep a constant supply of food in the feeder, as dragons only have enough stamina to last for 5-10 days without food, after which they may leave the cave and either reappear elsewhere or disappear forever.
Feeding dragons selectively is not permitted. There are two feeding stations: one for dragons living in the castle caves or the principality’s amber caves, and one for dragons living in the research center.
Each age group has an optimal diet that ensures maximum weight gain and productivity. Deviations from this diet slow growth, production, and other vital processes. With age, feed intake and weight gain increase from minimum values at the beginning of the period to maximum values at the end.
Optimal diet for up to 100 days#

Optimal diet for 401–900 days#
Table. Optimal diet from days 401 to 900.
| Feed | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Oil | 400 → 800 | 300 → 600 |
| Pork | 25 → 50 | 20 → 40 |
| Chicken meat | 25 → 50 | 20 → 40 |
| Beef | 25 → 50 | 20 → 40 |
Table. Weight gain and manure from day 401 to day 900.
| Gender | Weight gain, kg | Manure, kg |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 4 → 2 | 64 → 150 |
| Female | 3 → 2 | 56 → 120 |
Optimal diet for 901–1001 days#
Table. Optimal diet from days 901 to 1001.
| Feed | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Oil | 800 | 600 |
| Pork | 50 | 40 |
| Chicken meat | 50 | 40 |
| Beef | 50 | 40 |
Table. Weight gain and manure from day 901 to day 1001.
| Gender | Weight gain, kg | Manure, kg |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 2 → 0.1 | 150 |
| Female | 2 → 0.1 | 120 |
Breeding is possible between 101 and 900 days of age. With severe underfeeding, weight loss is reduced to a third of what would be possible with an optimal diet.
Suboptimal feed ration#
If the feed is less than what is required for an optimal diet, the nutrition is considered suboptimal.
Weight gain and production#
Weight gain and manure amount are reduced and calculated using the formula:
\( W = (Wo • x) / 4 \)| Variable | Explanation |
|---|---|
| W | Current value of the parameter. |
| Wo | Value for optimal diet. |
| x | Number of types of feed received. |
Recovery and pregnancy#
The recovery and pregnancy periods are extended and calculated using the formula:
Current value = (value at optimal diet • 4 / x).
Example#
If a dragon receives one of the four food types, weight gain and manure production will be 1/4 of the optimal value, and recovery and pregnancy periods will increase fourfold. A decrease in gold yield is also present, but it is nonlinear.
