...have lost the wood penalty... Yes, it says so in the notes. I'm not sure about this one myself. The penalty did make for some interesting strategic decisions, but at the same time it didn't make a lot of sense that dragons tired much more in forests than elsewhere. Perhaps a compromise: drop the fatigue penalty but keep the movement one? |

I always thought dragons flew everywhere so forest isn't going to be a problem for them? Well, that's my opinion anyway, nothing to say it's right! Perhaps mountains might slow and tire them as they would have to gain altitude?  |

I always thought dragons flew everywhere so forest isn't going to be a problem for them? The explanation we found - for what was really a bug - was that dragons can't scout a forest from the air as they would be unable to see below the canopy. Therefore, dragons would spend longer scouting a forest than anywhere else, slowing their progress. Re: mountains. Dragons don't lose time or energy over them because mountains cause thermals, even in Midnught, so the dragons can ride those to get altitude. Now, if we had large bodies of water, those would cause dragons to tire... not to mention that "nighting" over water would be fatal.  |

Sounds plausible!
In fact mountains can have passes for the dragons to fly through, very thoughtful of God that was!

A large army could be hard to miss, an individual however is different. Then, let's bring back hide! At least for NPCs. |
