On the bottom of page 33 in the advanced rules it states:

If an army slays one or more dragons, it may promote as many units as possible.

I'm not quite sure what this means. Is it a reward for killing a dragon?
Since initial effects take place prior to dragon attacks, any normal promotion would have already taken place. I may have this completely wrong. Someone please help the inexperienced!

Take a look at the section "Promotion" on pages 30-31. If you still have questions after reading that, ask away.

You're right, it's a reward.

It's not refering to city promotions or the treasure chest icon. When the dragon is slain, if you have units in the DUA that allow you to promote, you can make as many as are possible.

The biggest misconception with this that I've encountered (among newer players in the Guild), is that they can do promotions until all they have left in the DUA is one health units. A unit that has been promoted cannot promote again. Example: You promote a 1h unit into a 2h unit in the DUA. That 2h unit may not promote to a 3h unit in the same action. However, if you have a 2h unit already in your army, that one could promote. 3h units can promote to monsters, something I always found a little odd. Much like Steve.

Wow, rereading that I almost confuse myself. Anybody else want to take a shot at it? Confused

And there's something even odder, much like Joe Smile Dragonkin are a separate race, and may promote to a 1h larger kin OF ANY COLOR. That's right, you can promote a 1h blue kin to a 2h red kin, etc. It's a good reason not to use all 1h kin in your pool, since there are a few game effects, such as dragon slaying, that allow you to promote units.

And, don't forget, you can't promote after killing a dragon if you have a Dragonhunter/Dragonslayer in your army.

Thanks for the quick reply. I completely overlooked that section.

I guess that could work against you when sending a dragon. A possible easy kill for an opponent, and they end up with a bigger and better army at that terrain. I just love how much strategy is in this game.

So no promotions when having a dragonhunter/dragonslayer even when the dragon has dished out damage. Another tidbit to store (and hopefully remember). Thanks guys Wink
