'Playing around' makes a hell of a difference - spent half an hour doing stuff and then going back and changing things (my troops are getting dizzy with the do this ... undo that! orders I'm flinging around!

I've (re)saved my turn six times or so but have learnt a lot! 🙂

For the answer to that sort of question (which in this case is no, building uses up all movement for the builders in question) you can look at the orders for the unit concerned or the Main Plan. Mess around a bit, try stuff out.

You can get gold if your tear down a fortification, although much less than it costs to build one, so a construction / destruction loop is not a good idea. Rather tear someone else's forts down.

Don't pillage a province you plan to annex. That'll just cause damage to the province and lessen your income from in once it's annexed. At least until it repairs itself.

And commoners can only annex 7 provinces, so annex the profitable one.

I haven't checked, but if you annex a province, can you de-annex it later?

You can, but you won't get your money back.

I just got this E-mail. . .


The seer shrieks from the deep: The who comes to harrow hell and throw heaven from its orbit is foreshadowed by the dire four at the corners of the world, whose masks conceal masks forged in smithies not of this world, although their intention is to make this world fit for their dwelling, to the considerable discomfort of its inhabitants. The current of the Shadowy Alliance is as yet indiscernible, but comes a day when the sun will cease to shine on your realm, unless all unite to halt this dissolution. Fair is foul and foul is fair!


I mean, i'm all for getting into the spirit of things, but COME ON !!

Does this happen a lot in Dragon Lords??😕

No; it's a graph. Basically the best way to make money is to pillage in the same year you annex. If you're not going to annex, just pillage pillage pillage. Annexing without pillaging at the same time and pillage, wait, pillage, wait are useless, though many people will suggest them to you.

EDIT - Well those other two methods give you more flexibility about where you can use your troops, so can be useful for that I suppose.

How is pillaging every turn going to work? Your province will be ruined in short order.

I think it hits a baseline which is higher than half of the total pillage value. For example, it might be a baseline of 60%; every turn at 60% is better than once per two turns at 100%. Look at the file for more info.

EDIT - The rulebook says the baseline is 50%. So pillaging a healthy province once every two years gives the same money as pillaging a ruined one every year. However in the latter case you got an extra boost from the first few years before the province was ruined.

It's ok. I understand that Men aren't good at math. I'll sell the services of my Dwarven mathematician-economists if you'd like. Send me a private message and we can negotiate price.
