Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 8:21 am GMT Post subject: The Dragon Dice Cookbook |
|
|
I first came up with the idea of the Dragon Dice Cookbook when
playing an online game,
I needed a way to preserve my dice arrangement between sessions,
So I used a small marble cutting board.
Then I noticed that the different colored dice reminded me of "diced"
ingredients for a soup or any other food preparation.
Then I also recalled all the armies I have seen posted in text.
The text reminded me of recipes.
With all these similarities I decided to make the Dragon Dice Cookbook.
I might also add,please feel free to post your favorite "Recipes"
I thought we would start with an All Rare Army
Simply called: White Dragon Surprise
The White Dragon used do not exist...... yet,
but put your ovens on High and prepare to face battle...
Home: Coastland Standing Stones
Bear Master
Campaign: Coastland Standing Stones
2 Dragonlords
Frost Ogre
Magi
Death Mage
Horde:
Yeti
Troll
Bear Master
Remorhaz
Summoning Pool
1 White Dragon (any variety)
2 Black Dragonkin Champions
1 Blue Dragonkin Champion
minor terrain 4 villages (one of each color)

Note: For a 36-health army, you cannot bring a White dragon and any other color of dragon. The white dragon replaces the two dragons you would normally bring. _________________ You can never have too many dice.

The Fountain of Youth
This is a nice army that takes advantage of racial replenishing,
it focuses on 3 races
Swamp Stalkers/Treefolk/Feral
No Magic items,no King's Die,no Trolls,just pure racial restoration.
(See The Concise Goblin Report for information on this subject)
Home:Swampland City (Promotion with the 8th)
Bog Adept
(in order to mutate you need a Swampstalker in the DUA)
(if the Bog Adept gets killed in the beginning,mutation could be possible)
Campaign: Swampland City (Promotion with the 8th)
Swamp Wizard
Marsh Mage x2
Bog Adept
Elder Dryad
Dryad x2
Hamadryad x2
Horde
Noble Willow x2
Buffalo-Folk
Horse-Folk x3
Antelope-Folk x3
Summoning Pool
2 Green Wyrms (The Dragons have Treasure Promotion)
4 Swampland Villages
Green Dragonsteed
Gold Dragonsteed
Green Dragonmount
Gold Dragonmount
Green Dragonfoal
Gold Dragonfoal
I'm trying to work in the Unicorn,I'm just not sure how to balance it in yet
Here are some playing tips:
Water of Life (it's called Fountain of Youth for a reason)
Mire (used to "Freeze Time" another Fountain of Youth theme)
Wall of Thorns (helps freeze the terrain,another Fountain of Youth theme)
Wild Growth(SAI) and Replanting
(Replant Noble Willows, the Wild Growth works during any
non-maneuver roll for any of your races or Dragonkin,
or it can count as saves)
Feralization!!!!
Mutation!!!!
This army works better if you can remeber to use all the racial abilities and Wild Growth

No that one is fine as is, I just need some more Willow in my collection.  _________________ Got to love wolves, overwelming numbers, act as a team, Nature ready made army.

|
|
riolis,
Glad you like The Fountain of Youth army,
Fountain of Youth Unicorn Variation:
A little story first....
The Unicorn has been tied to the Fountain of Youth before...
The Unicorn represents youth,
and deep in the forest there is a secret spring or small pool
that the Unicorn has been know to drink from,
is this the Water of Life?
Does the Water of Life flow in the Fountain of Youth?
Home:Swampland City (Promotion with the 8th)
Bog Adept
(in order to mutate you need a Swampstalker in the DUA)
(if the Bog Adept gets killed in the beginning,mutation could be possible)
Campaign: Swampland City (Promotion with the 8th)
Unicorn
Marsh Mage x2
Bog Adept
Elder Dryad
Dryad x2
Hamadryad
Horde
Noble Willow x2
Buffalo-Folk
Horse-Folk x3
Antelope-Folk x2
Nymph
Summoning Pool
2 Green Wyrms (The Dragons have Treasure Promotion)
4 Swampland Villages
Green Dragonsteed
Gold Dragonsteed
Green Dragonmount
Gold Dragonmount
Green Dragonfoal
Gold Dragonfoal
the idea with the Unicorn is to bring the mages to the
Noble Willows with teleport,
Or even then Bring a Noble Willow to the Mages with Teleport,
the reason for cutting back the Swamp Wizard is
Mire can not be cast consecutively.
I added a Calvary Nymph to the Horde to help with the Wild Growth,
I also subtracted a Antelope-Folk from the Horde,
And subtracted Hamadryad from the mages.

Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2006 11:16 am GMT Post subject: Pandora's Box |
|
|
Pandora's Box
The Greek Mythology of Pandora's Box.
Pandora was given a box to hold but never open....
well as you can guess Pandora's curiosity was too overwhelming,
and she opened the box...
releasing the Sorrows and Misfortune of man.
The very last to leave the box was Hope,
Hope was considered a Misfortune because of the false belief that it could inflict,but hope is what is needed to help endure the Misfortunes and sorrows.
Ok enough story,
here is the Army
Pandora's Box
Home:Swampland City
Apparition
Campaign:Swampland Temple
Vampire (Pandora)
Death Naga
Minor Death
Death Mage
Heucava
Apparition
Horde:
Sprite Swarm (Hope)
Gold Medallion (Pandora's Box)
DracoLich
Ghost
Spectre
Wraith
2 Black Drakes
4 swampland Villages
2 Black Dragonsteed
2 Black Dragonmounts
2 Black Dragonfoal
Playing Tips:
The Gold Medallion (Pandora's Box)
The Gold medallion can bring a buried unit to the DUA
or it can bring a unit to the army carrying the Medallion.
The Vampire's convert can bring 3 health of Undead units
to the army if successful.
Bring the Medallion to Pandora (the Vampire)
1. The Ghost can Carry a magic item when Vanish is used
2. The Medallion can Wayfare with another unit
3. the Death mage can cantip and Path a unit
Spells:
Haunt works out here because you can bring buried units back with the Medallion
Spirit Furnace is a great spell that can be cast even in the reserves
even though you bury your units in the DUA,
(gaining double their heath in black magic)
the Medallion can get them back
The Sprite Swarm:Group Monster
(Represents Hope)
Even in the Maneuver roll to start the Game,
if you roll an ID, you get to reroll
Magic is fun with the Sprite Swarm
Always "Hope" for a reroll

Here are some suggestions for the Witches' Brew
Moss from a Swampland Standing Stones
Scale of a Gold Dragonkin Champion
Feather from an Owl-Folk
Ashes from a Phoenix
Dragon Dice is a Family game...so try to refer to ingredients with care
The cauldron is boiling and awaiting the first ingredient...
who dares to join the circle of Witches.....  |

Gee, I thought that was obvious... Guess not. The Vampire of course. I know Jim, you took a close look at the Convert icons... They are all eyes. Evil ones of course. _________________ You can never have too many dice.
