a red dragon can

that's the dragon he meant
with the fire move ability ^^

nonsence.. you cant win having 1dragon vs 100trex..

o yes you can. i know because ive done similar (it was around 28 or so but it wouldn't matter if it was 10,000). all you need to do is stay away from them. Run to the other side of the screen, wait for the trex to move, use your fire ability (from red or black dragons), then run back to the other side. its actually really easy to do. This is why dragons are really good for no loss. When you take out the archers, you won the battle no matter how large the enemy troop size. All you need to do is keep the hell away from other units

Just keep running to the other side of the screen, wait for them to get close, then fly to the other side using your skill.

yea and tirex cant counter-attack right?

trex are the best ground level 5 units in the game, it speed is awesome, and it doubles if it eat a corpse and health itself. I dont think black dragons are better than tirex.. can u heal black dragons? nop.. so they are dead. Even if they can hit and run, sorry. I played with black dragons and tirex in the same army, and tirex are more useful by far than black dragons. Almost for the strategy i was using at the time of that game.

ok let me clarify something about black dragons, they have 80% resistance to magic and fire attacks, they have high initiative, they have one of the highest action points of any creature, they have the most health of any unit in the game, they have extremely high attack and defense, each attack they can hit, and burn 2 units, they do insane damage especially to lower level creatures, they do fire damage which is great against massive groups of thorns/ents, thier skill is probably the second most useful in the game (i beleive red dragons have the most useful), they make all level 1-4 units drop initiative by 1, the voice of the dragon skill gives them 2+morale, they have decent physical damage resistance, and THEY ARE IMMUNE TO SPELLS! sure you cant heal them or cast beneficial spells on them but enemie heroes cant hurt them with spells. When you fight elenhel or any heroe that cast very damaging spell, they are not effected. you just fight heroes with one stack of black dragons and its game over for them. Using the right strategy with them, they are invincible, even if you only use one stack of them and no other creatures. there is no creature in the game who has as many possibilities as them. people who bash black dragons are ignorant of how powerful and useful they really are. I mean come on, when you go into battle, who would you rather face, 5 trexs, or 4 black dragons? As a mage, black dragons are the most annoying units to fight becase they are practically invincible and they kill most of your units before you even kill one of them. obiviously you must change strategies for certain battles but black dragons have more uses in more situations than any other unit out there. a very powerful and versitile unit

As i said, i found more useful for me tirex than black dragons. And Ancient Ents has the most hp points in the game, not black dragons.

Yeah, either black or red can do it (Black just use their move/attack ability to fly over their heads at end of turn).

Black dragons kill the heck out of Tirexes. So do red dragons, which are also the same leadership.

on a side note on black dragons

isn't it possible to heal them

black dragon/shaman combo worked great in TL

don't know if this still works on AP

but then it possible to heal blackies xD
and then say GG no re to trex

[clinek]

why do you need to ever heal them? if you use them the right way and kill all the archers then simply run away from the melee units, you shouldn't have to worry about healing them ever. 1000 health alot for enemy units to take away from you especially after two spells are cast at the enemy. fear, firerain, geyser, ect can disable most threats before the enemy has a chance to attack

[Razorflame]

was just saying there was a way to heal blackies
