Saddle Your Dragon

Saddle your dragon so a goblin can ride it - dragon targets only loot.
Saddled dragons move slow; even slower with giants? OR once the rider gets killed, it becomes a regular dragon. There should be a specialized army camp and barracks dedicated to saddling dragons - that way you'd only be able to bring 1 or 2 into battle.

I like this idea. Very smart and can work very well.

Intriguing...what of costs? Will it cost anything? Well there be any special benefits like if u get a gob saddle the drag does x2 damage to resources? (That's just an example...that one in particular would probably be OP unless it cost a lot)

I imagine you would need to train a dragon for same cost and time. Once it's ready, you could place it in another specialized barrack to fit it with a saddle and gob - this will take additional time and cost. The damage depends on the level of dragon and gob.

Mass drag attacks are hard enough to defend against as is at th 7, making a dragon target only defenses would make a way op attack.

Agreed.. BUT what if saddled dragon moves twice as slow; even slower with giants? OR once the rider gets killed, it becomes a regular dragon. There should be a specialized army camp and barracks dedicated to saddling dragons - that way you'd only be able to bring 1 or 2 into battle.

Combining the ideas of people who commented on the original thread, I think this is how it should work:

You must buy a saddling barrack (available at TH Level 7 or 8) in which you take dragons that were already trained in the normal barrack and whatever you want to saddle on it which has already been trained in the normal barrack and you can combine it for a cost (half of the elixir cost it took to train what's being saddled on the dragon maybe?) and then it takes a bit of time to saddle them together (half of the time it took to train what's being saddled on the dragon?) and then after that time, it goes back into your normal barrack, taking up as much housing space as the dragon + what you're saddling + 2 for the saddle (just because a saddled dragon is a big advantage so there have to be setbacks like cost, time, extra housing space). When you go into battle it shows up as a separate kind of troop, with a picture of whatever you saddled on the dragon. When you deploy it, the specialties that apply to the saddled troop will now apply to the dragon as well (for instance, dragons saddled with giants will attack defenses first, saddled with goblins will attack resources first, saddled with archers will allow the dragon to attack from a distance, etc.), damage will be a total of both the dragon and the troop, health will also be a combination of the dragon and troops health, but speed will decrease based on housing space. So the larger the troop, the slower the saddled dragon will go. So for every 1 housing space, the dragon will go 2 times slower (archer, barb, goblin, etc. = 1 housing space = 2 times slower than normal. Giant = 5 housing space = 10 times slower than normal.)

It's a very complex idea but it could add a lot to the game. Tell me what you think of the way I explained it and what could be changed about it. Don't just say "Oh make it free and take no extra time and just allow everyone to create insanely powerful combinations with no setbacks" because as fun as that seems, it will be unfair and ruin the balance of the game.

yes. you can find footnote version in comments #4 and #6. ;)

Interesting idea. Also saddle with wall breakers to take out an inner wall. I could then deploy 3 dragon/breakers so I have a clear path to where my troops should go.

That would be cool. Like you can pick what you want, goblins so the dragons go for loot or giants so the dragons go for deffences

100% sure sc wont add this
