Imagine this:
Your forces surround an enemy keep. Their walls are high, their towers are strong, and their gates are legendary as impenetrable. The enemy ramparts are silhouetted by the setting sun. Morale inside is high. You halt your army, stop your marching drum. Silence falls across the battlefield, thick with expectation. They expect you to bring out catapults, battering rams, and they ready their bows.
From behind you, there is an ear-shattering roar.
Your High Dragon, hatched and hand-reared for years by your family, slams her wings through the air. The setting sun glints red off her plate armor.
Does she have a metal crushing ball affixed to her tail? Does she carry forces to deploy inside? Does she lift netting filled with explosive vials? Is there a custom saddle mounted with a ballista regiment?
Or do you have a dragon at all, but instead a giant trained and outfitted by your beast handlers?
Armored mabari legions? Flocks of birds trained to drop potions? Wyverns with runes in their collars? BEARS YOU'VE FED DRAGON BLOOD?
TL;DR: If you could have a siege beast what would it be, how would you use it, and how would you manage training and upkeep?
Retour en haut
They seem a bit slower and dimmer than the dragons, so you'd have to point them very carefully at the thing you want them to smash, but IMO they're less likely to get out of hand than a High Dragon.
