Red Dragons vs. Emerald Green

[Tianx]

I like Red the most because ultimately you can use your pet dragon to squeeze some mana out. Green just doesn't have enough HP to withstand the hits. I think Tirexes can be a good unit but the problem with that is you get them WAY too late to really be much of use in the game. Wish they had these lizard units earlier in the game though.

They can be, if you learn to sneak & steal maps. In addition to that, Tirexes are the perfect sacrificial lambs. They can eat up a corpse every 3 turns (as well as when they kill), which means every 3 turn you get free troops through sacrifice.

Heh did the same thing, my paladin was lv24 with tirexes (tons of them on Reha) I found the +2 morale lizardmen bracelet (+1 from max persuasion) max morale Tirexes rock!

On subject, it would be nice to find a easy to get and reliable source of red dragons, with the new burning rules I think they could be quite nasty. For me, Green dragons have lost that edge, they're easy to get (I think the cave in Elon always stocks them?) but there are better ways of recovering mana in AP (as somebody mentioned, Transmute, mana accel) so that only leaves their retal skill, which is good but I would rather have Tirexes roar (which is cute, hey gives them a ranged ability first turn) and their ability to recover their health on kill, very nice!
