Dragons
Dragons are mostly used in times of war and sent to the opposing kd to "ravage the lands"
The effects of a dragon ravaging your lands are:
An attacked province will lose 10% more
Your income will fall by 25%
You will lose 20% of your drafted soldiers
Your food production will fall by 30%
Your offensive and defensive troops will recieve a 5% penalty
You may lose homes randomly.
Only the kingdom's monarch has the power to start a dragon and usually at great expense, you may be asked to contribute gold coins (gc's) to the dragon project, if you recieve a dragon it is in the best interests of everyone to destroy it as quickly as possible, this is achieved by sending a specified amount of soldiers displayed in the dragon part of the menu, to damage the dragon by 1% (you will be asked to increase your draftrate!)
The kingdom (kd) usually nominate a "dragonslayer" to recieve any soldiers you have spare under the required specified amount and when he accumalates enough from everyone he then proceeds to slay the dragon. The dragon slayer is someone with a very good positive trade balance (tb) if thats you, nominate your self!
