Greetings Vikings!
Thanks for your return on the new Dragon path and their rework.
Again they are really appreciated. With all your feedback we will propose to you this week some changes to try to make it even better.
Let’s find what we tried this week just under this :)

Clan of the Dragon
Adding choice in the military path
We agreed that the new path was a bit straight forward without having choice and it was a little bit annoying, so instead of changing the legion path with the new one (we felt that not a really good solution because the path has one more level and both guardian and Leadership are not the best for this clan) we prefer to propose further choices on each level except the first and last one.
Concerning the fact that the first level does not give a bonus, we think that with the other changes on the clan, adding another little buff will be too much, in addition, this new path gets one more level so we find that compensates for this.
- 2nd level → 500 xp choose between:[list]
- Draconics unit gain 10% move speed
- Whirlwind forge gain 10% more chance to trigger, and Battlecry forge gain 100% range
- Reduce the base cost of Draconic Unit by 20%
- Draconic Nightmare doesn't cost draconic essence
- Draconic Nightmares absorb 30% of damage done to Dragonkin (without triggering all forge of all Draconic Nightmares)
- Whirlwind deal 100% of damage
- New ability on Surtr
- Cost 5 essence to increase attack power by 30% during 5 seconds for all other draconic units in the zone.
Rework
We made a little change on Blood, Sweat & Tears, let us know what you think of it.
Concerning Draconic Frenzy, the nerf in early game is effectively too problematic, so we are proposing you something new, where the bonus decreases the more units you have on a same tile to zero. We think that it could give more versatility to this knowledge during all the game and be used more in the idea to be specific situational.
Unit
- Thrall now produces lore and fame when assigned to Longship Dock.
- Thrall cost formula : change the formula to buy Thralls from a flat amount to a percentage
Fame
- Fame 200 : You now gain fame depending on the unit captured.
Knowledge
- Blood, Sweat & Tears : You can assign 1 extra Thrall to production buildings. If the building is upgraded, Thralls increase specialized workers production by 15%
- Draconic Frenzy : Give 100% attack for a unique unit. For each unit on the same tile as another, the bonus is divided by 2. (Once 6 unit are on a same tile the bonus will be set at 0%)
- Draconic Rage : Allow all Draconic unit on the same tile as Surtr to capture unit
Others
Military Path
Leadership
This path is all about your Warchief and being able to clear more easily so we didn’t agree on the fact that all units should give 2 military experience because the other path did that (except Ox, but I mean, they have other tools for that). This path will earn military experience by clearing so that is why we want to keep the passive gain at 1 for each unit, but we agreed that not having at least 1 military experience just by having the chief alone wasn’t fair.
Giving attack and defense for each forge was a little bit too much, but having more survivability with life looks like to be enough and fit well with the fundamentals of this path so we will keep this.
- 1st level → 50 xp[list]
- The Warchief will produce 1 military experience alone on a tile
- Each forge will give 5% more life
Balancing
Following some feedback concerning the balancing for mono army against mix army we want to roll back the way cost units increase to see if this change can bring back the mono army into the ring.
Concerning Kingdom, we tried on our side to share the upgraded bonuses, but as expected this is an enormous buff for the kingdom, let us explain why. When a viking clan can upgrade 6 military camps, Kingdom can upgrade 12, not sure if we have to explain more than that why it’s not a good solution for them. However, we agreed that the kingdom needed something, and after thinking about it, they are missing one thing that we think will make the difference : a break armor effect. So we want to try to introduce a new military forge replacing the slow forge with this one.
- Krown cost for military unit will increase at the same amount for each kind of unit (so after converting your first warrior, the next axe thrower will cost 36 instead of 33)
- New Kingdom military forge [list]
- Break 15% of defense and projectile defense for 2 sec
- 20% occurence change
Bugfixes
- b> Building - Fixed Destroyed upgraded military building granting upgrade bonus a second a second time
Known Issues
- Dragon - "Thrall trade" knowledge description is not accurate
- Dragon - Notification for the new military path are not working
