Dragons and Ilians

[BiffQJ]

Ok, I have two separate history related questions (don't worry, I'm not asking for some kind of ice dragon for a civilization that won't be implemented until the ice stage):

1. Dragons. Is there a reason why the Sheaim Black Dragon is weaker than the Kuriotate Golden Dragon? They come at the same time, have the same promotions iirc, but the golden one has more strength.

2. Ilians. Or more specific, their leader Auric Ulvin. Why is he agnostic (but also evil)? What is the background for that? And even though the ilians aren't fully implemented yet, I feel like the AI should get some kind of compensation for not getting any religion units (like the Grigori get).

Just curious...

Thanks

They're not really agnostic. The Illians simply worship Auric Ulvin himself, who believes himself to be Mulcarn (the God of Winter, killed at the end of the Age of Ice) reborn. Rather logical that they'd be unable to go and worship Kilmorph or Junil.

The answer to question 2 is in the civilopedia...

Read the Illian and Auric Ulvin entries. That should answer your questions better than I could.

Can you bring Auric to fight for you?

Abashi is weaker than Eurabatres as a point of balance. Remember we don't balance one aspect to another (one hero to one hero) but one the civs as a whole. In this case that the Kuriotates should have have the games biggest late game hero.

Plus, doesn't the Sheaim summoner trait allow Abashi's fireballs (or is it meteors?) to stick around for 3 terns. He can send 2 fire balls at an enemy and stil attack.

Actually 3; unless it has been changed, dragons can cast and attack in one turn.

Got it, thanks all...
