      Most dragon breaths (Including Seraphon and and Bracchus and the Sisters's antler dragon) are coded the same as Sun Dragon breath. Basically a chunky flammenwerfer.
      Moon dragons? More dense, like a rocket exhaust, still mostly the same damage type, just 'moar' over a smaller area.
      _Star_ dragons? *Plasma jet.* Totally armor-piercing, tiny area. This will cook some dinosaurs.

And because on the tabletop Tyrion with the Widowmaker on average wipes the floor with Archaon in a single round of combat.

      Honestly, I played it, and once you get the hang of it, it isn't impossible. With some cheeky thinking, you can actually quell rebellions quite easily, and while yes, it is at the cost of your towns, once you deal with the beginning wave of rebellions, it ain't too terrible. Once you get the buildings for Comitatenses, you pretty much win skirmishes and fights, unless you are really outnumbered.

      @RexXflash yup. But if you destroy military infrastructure, it's gonna be a bunch of peasants. Costs you quite a bit of money, but definitely less than if you lost the town altogether.

      @@danielkrejcar9104 No campaign is impossible, though I've yet to play it. I got Atilla, but never tried it. I'm a challenge-seeker, and have currently played and am playing through several campaigns on Legendary, so far "only" in Shogun 2 and Warhammer 2. Now I must try this Barbarian Invasion.

      @@danielkrejcar9104 It's not that it's impossible, its much harder than twa wre if you don't know how to deal with it though (due to how much legendary attila ai cheats that campaign is harder if you do know what you are doing). It's more that many people (myself included) have nostalgia for the game and would love to see it crush yrridians unprepared form.
