Dragonshard Community Update #21

Atari's Shane DeFreest has sent us over the very last community update for Dragonshard, which includes another brief Q&A and two new screenshots depicting an air battle and a base assault. Here we go:

Q: What affects the amount of gold you get from taxes? We know the number of buildings you have determines the max, but what reduces it? captains? henchmen?

A: Taxes are entirely determined by the current number of buildings that you have constructed. The number of Captains and Soldiers that you have in the field do not detract from this value in order to refrain from punishing players for building up their forces. So don't hold back!


Q: Can Liquid confirm that the number of captains you can have is capped at 20? This number seems to have changed during the beta process. What is the final number when the game releases?

A: After much deliberation regarding effective management of large armies, relative map space, and multiplayer performance, we eventually settled on a Captain population cap of 20, which will be the cap in the released version of the game.
