[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6638730, member: 6787650"] I think you mean "vanilla dragons run by you in a high-magic, FR-style campaign setting with ubiquitous adventurers wouldn't reach adult stages." As I've explained, what, three times so far in this thread?--Darwin is right! All of those dragons don't exist in my game. The dragons all have Sorcerer levels (generally level 9 to 12 by adult age, higher if on the verge of ancient status) which makes them far more dangerous than vanilla dragons, and invalidates many of the easy strategies discussed in this thread. Plus, I'm a lot strategically smarter than you are, judging by this thread, so my dragons are correspondingly better at leveraging the advantages they do have to stay on top of their client state auxiliaries, effectively acting as their own Imperial Legion. (You use auxiliaries to fight external enemies, and you use the Legion to put down internal revolts among the auxiliaries.) I've pointed out more than twice that my dragons proactively exploit stealth, mobility, and diplomacy. "Adventurers" showing up on their doorstep to steal treasure just isn't a thing. [/QUOTE]
