We're excited to announce the big new update - Dragon Taming - is now available! This has been a popular community suggestion for a long time and we're happy to get it in the game. You can tame, raise, and care for dragons! Let's get into the changes:
New Research
In order to unravel the mysteries of the dragons, you'll need to research Dragon Husbandry in the great library. This will unlock all the buildings you need to make dragons valued members of your kingdom.
Dragon Nest
This provides a home for two dragons and one offspring. Add piles of gold here and the next time dragons arrive at your kingdom one may decide to settle at the nest. Workers here will collect food (pork and fish) to feed to the dragons. You can improve the conditions here with a connection to an aqueduct. This building also shows you all the information you need to make sure your dragons are well cared for and to find out what they are up to.
Dragon Bath
Dragons like to bathe and this building provides a big enough private pool for them to get clean without causing unfortunate accidents with the peasants if they were to use the same bath house. Requires a connection to an aqueduct.
Dragon Flight Training
This is a small obstacle course dragons will fly through when they get bored. There's also stands below for curious peasants to come watch.
Dragon Doctor
Dragon health will slowly degrade over time, so you'll need a dragon doctor to remove the pests from under their scales and generally keep them in good shape. Dragons will come here automatically when they need a checkup.
Dragon Bonding
Now there's a bit more to dragons than just placing the buildings and waiting around. We won't say much here except to say make sure to keep your dragons as happy as possible and see what happens.
