Overly powerful dragons?

from Elemental Forums

I got ahold of a full-fledged dragon from a quest and thought: "Awesome! Let's go burn stuff!" and I did. I burned stuff so hard, in fact, that the rest of the game became a total cakewalk. I rushed through the quest of mastery in roughly 5 turns, completely demolishing all resistance.

 

The thing is that all dragons get an attack that deals their attack damage at range. This, in itself, is not problematic, but it seems that the damage dealt is undefendable as well. This results in that the full-grown dragon blasts an an enemy for 96 (!!) damage twice every turn. Now, I maxed out the adventure research tree and the strongest monsters I've seem have some 50 hp. I even finished the final battle of the quest of mastery in one combat round.

 

Is this intended? If it isn't I would like to draw the attention of the dev team to this, in case they have not noticed it before.

50hp meh jack the difficulty up. You'll have drakes all over the place.

If you think that's overpowered, try researching diplomacy until you get the A Dance with Dragons tech. Then you can build whole armies of dragons with that ability! Well, assuming you can afford an army...they're rather expensive.  :grin:

Eh, my army is using custom units in squads (8 combined soldiers) that are nothing that special.  Advanced plate and a 2h hammer, with medkit and some jewelry.  Could be worse if I researched companies and other stuff.

The have 210hp, 290 attack, and 384 def each give or take (depends on lvl).

My sov rolls with 2 of those and 2 of the previous gen of death squads.  And I mean rolls.  Nothing stands a chance.  It's idiotic.  I could use even more such units but there's no point.

Bring on the dragon.

I think this is one of the most poorly/oddly balanced games I've ever played.
