Historical Description[]

The 'Fire Dragon out of Water' was a remarkable weapon invented in 17th century China. Intially a two-stage rocket made to look like a dragon, the Fire Dragon was a tube perhaps 5 feet in length. It was launched toward the enemy by four or more primitive rockets attached to its sides. A fuse from one of these rockets led to several more inside the tube itself; when they were ignited they would provide the final thrust, (hopefully) driving the explosive-filled missile toward the enemy position. The weapons were used at sea, where they could be devastating against enemy ships, setting them on fire at great distance.

Attacking Strategies[]

  • Fire Dragon has low health; making them vulnerable to defenses. Use Heavy Infantry as meat shields to protect the Fire Dragon.
  • Fire Dragon is cheap and can be used to set off hidden enemy traps.
  • Use Fire Dragon to protect heavy infantry from other infantry so your Heavy Infantry won't get distracted.
  • Since Fire Dragon can deal more damage to foot troops, bringing some along with Heavy Infantry and/or Heavy Cavalry will help deal with pesky defending foot troops!
  • Make sure to keep the Fire Dragon behind your 'meat shields' or away from danger.

Defensive Strategies[]

  • Fire Dragon can be used as good Alliance Troops. One example is that they can shoot over walls to attack troops of the attackers forcing the troops to destroy the wall to kill them. Another thing is that they're good against other Heavy Infantry.

Trivia[]

  • In this game, Fire Dragon troops are not equipped with the 'Fire Dragon out of Water' rockets, they are equipped with firearms. The name of this unit is wrong.
