# Overview

The Clan of the Dragon. The most outlandish of all clans, the Dragons follow ancient customs and embrace freakish traditions. They use sacrifice and slavery to further their goals, often earning the other clans' distrust.

Provided proper population management, the clan possess the capacity to grow very strong as the game goes on while early expansion is also facilitated. The ability to recruit  Dragonkin makes the draconic warband one of the fiercest. To sustain this costly army,  Slaves can either be used as an economic advantage or feed the dragon gauge by sacrificing them. The essence gauge grants constant and increasing bonuses as  fame rises.

# Tips and tricks

* Play aggressively. Do not trade with other clans if you can. Instead, constantly raid other clans once you gain the capture technology. This is a wonderous way to mass produce thralls.
* Build a dock as early as you can. You will need the thralls for labor and sacrifices.
* Captured thralls are good for sacrificing if you intend to frequently attack a local clan.

## Capture knowledge

 Defense |  13

 Defense |  4

There is a 10% chance to capture a wounded unit on each attack. This chance is doubled if warchief is in the area.

* If the unit is a clan member, it will be turned into a regular  Thrall that will walk run towards your closest territory.
* If the unit is neutral faction member, it will be turned into its weakened counterpart and serve as a military unit.

# Conquest

In "conquest" mode, all clans play a series of 11 maps. The first, middle, and last maps in the sequence give hard-coded, clan-specific bonuses; the other maps randomly generate generic bonuses (which may or may not affect clan-specific units/buildings). The special bonuses for this individual clan are as follows:

* Draconic units gain +50 Health.
* +1 Dragon Essence for each Sacrifice.
* Boats bring +1 Thralls. Thralls can't revolt.
