Seriously, why don't you think of a really interesting and good unit instead of just a list of stats that make a boring unit. This is just an overpowered scout.

This is a single unit dragon. wait has been doubled, hp dropped to about 1/2. If this is what you did, then it is unoriginal. Is there a special attack?

Yes, this is what I did - and it is intentionally unoriginal, hence stating it is not really a suggestion. I was thinking dragon might be overpowered (the idea of combining two units not justifying nearly a movign lightning ward), so I decided to post here and see how people responded to a single-unti dragon.
This looks to me like an overpowered pyromancer with an absurdly long wait, so it surprised me when the first two posts were "underpowered" and "just a scout."
EmelGreenLeafer, this was not pointless - in fact, it was a question. The dragon is therefore not overpowered and I need to wait for at least three replies before I start to decide what people think of my units :)

Um, if the DT was overpowered, would they have made it into a unit?

Nope, looks like a blob of stats that resembles a scout, only crappier.

If it was a question, just post it in one of your existing threads? The CAU forum is made for unit suggestions only, not question or alterations about existing units.

forgive me if others say the things i say, or if you have already changed it.


its 7 wait makes it underpowered. However, if you lower the wait, it then becomes extremely overpowered, with the attack of a dt

Underpowered scout, and put some life into your units, this one is just plain sucky

This isn't half a DT. It has half the HP, and double the wait. Making it twice as bad.

The problem with your post is that you don't specify the range is in a straight line, nor do you mention it is unblockable.

Erm, yes. Actually that's exactly what happened, and then we got:

Units get changed. Heck the reason we just went through two major updates is because of overpowered units.

The dragon tyrant gets more damage per turn than anything except the lightning ward. Long wait times don't reduce this early on, nor does taking up two units. Four dragon tyrants is more sheer damage than any combination of ten units except something involving multiple dragonspeakers.
I have a problem with the dragon tyrants being able to kill clerics so easily. They kill clerics in one hit and the only defense is a massive cluster around the cleric.
I don't like teleport in general - that might be all I have against the dragon. Without teleport, it could never jump behind my knight wall and get my cleric.
