Dragon of Atlantis (2)

6) Spectral Ruins

    The most special outpost that has unique functions than other outposts. The main functions of Spectral Ruins are reviving troops, holding the mighty Wraith Dragon and generating Blue Energy that needed to summon the mighty Wraith Dragon (1,000,000 Blue Energy per summon). 

     The buildings that can be built in Spectral Ruins are Dark Portal and Mausoleum. Mausoleum keeps the soul of fallen troops, by upgrading it, you can increase the maximum capacity of soul. The function of Dark Portal is to revive troops that stored in Mausoleum, by upgrading it, you are able to revive more types of troops and faster in process.

     The only building that can be built in the field is Reaping Stones. Reaping Stones generate Blue Energy which is needed to summon Wraith Dragon for battle (1,000,000 Blue Energy and 50,000 Anthropus Talismans per summon).

     Wraith Dragon is the most powerful one among all the Dragons. It is similar to nuke bomb (sent on an attack by itself and clear out everything).

     Besides that, the most important function of Spectral Ruins is to store resources because Spectral Ruins cannot be attacked. Storage Vault is totally useless when you have your Spectral Ruins. There are few steps to keep your resources at there. First, click on your ally's city and click send resources. Then, key in the amount of resources that you want to store together with the right amount of transporting troops that required to transfer your resources to a place. At last, change the coordinates at lower left to your Spectral Ruins' coordinates and click transfer. * Load of porter is 200, armored transport is 5000 and pack dragon is 6000*

Your troops together with your resources will be staying at Spectral Ruins like reinforcement and when you want your resources back, just recall them.

7) Sunken Temple/ Zolmecs' Ruins

       The newest outpost that has been released on February 2012. Rubies players are given the priority to create this outpost. Serpent egg can be found from wilderness starting from 22 February 2012 which is about one week or two weeks after it is available from shop. 

       In order to create Sunken Temple, you must reach level 6 or above, owned Ice Outpost, controlled a high level Lake and found Serpent Egg (available in level 5 Lake or above and Elemental Dragon must be included in march).

      The buildings that can be built in Sunken Temple are just like the others- Training Camp, Silo and Homes in City, Lumbermill, Mine, Quarry and Farm in Field. If you are a big or experienced player, make your outpost full of Training Camp and some Houses and do not focus on buildings in Field. 

      There are four Serpent's Scales known as Serpent's Scale 1,2,3 and 4. They can be found in level 5 or above and I recommend you to hit the Lake which you found your Serpent Egg. Pictures below are reports of Serpent's Scale.

Venom Dweller is another new elite troops that can be trained in Sunken Temple. 

It requires Swamp Scale (can be obtained from Fortuna Vault or Wilderness) to be trained. 

       

       

Dragons of Atlantis

     Recently, I was being addicted to this web-based online game called Dragons of Atlantis. It is a strategic and farming game with cool graphic display. I have been playing this game for about 1 month. Now, I am going to provide some tips on how to become a good player in this game.

1) Facilities in City

    The buildings that you have to focus on are Garrisons, Muster Point, Sentinel and Homes. By building more Garrisons (about 10 to 12), you will able to train troops faster (Try not to upgrade it to level 10 because Fire Mirror is not as that good). Muster Point is the one which holds the maximum number of troops that you can send out for battle and if you have Ancestral Seal, upgrade it to level 11 and above. Homes increase your idle population which means you can train more troops( Try to build about 8 Homes). Sentinel informs you when someone is spying or attacking your city (Try to upgrade it to level 9).

    Build more Lumbermill and Mine in your Field as both of these resources are needed in greater quantity for training troops and upgrading buildings. Do not focus on Farm because your food production sure be negative  when you have large number of troops.

2) Research

   Please focus on Agriculture, Woodcraft, Masonry and Alloys if you are a beginner. Besides that, upgrade Weapons Calibration,  Metallurgy and Medicine to higher level so that you have a higher probability to win in battles for max slow troops(walking troops especially Longbowman). In addition, upgrade Mercantilism to higher level as it allows you to do more trade in Trading Post and sometimes some elite players are selling resources at very cheap price. If you have been playing this game for more than  2 weeks, do upgrade Clairvoyance and Rapid Development to higher level. Upgrade Clairvoyance to level 6 is enough if you wish to attack a small city. Try to upgrade Rapid Development to higher level if you have free time as it allows your max slow troops to travel faster.

    If you have created Spectral Ruins, you can focus on Warrior Revival and Guardian Revival research.By reaching level 10 of both of these researches, you can revive maximum of 50% of fallen troops. 

3) Troops

   If you are a beginner, train more Longbowman and Armored Transport. 100,000 Longbowman and about 25000 Armored Transport is enough for conquering cities and finding Dragon Eggs and Dragon Armors. After that, you have to focus on max speed troops. Train more Swift Strike Dragon (about 60000)and Battle Dragon (about 40000) for attacking a city which is very far away from you.

   If you have your max speed troops done, focus on special troops that can only be trained in Outposts. Fangtooth, Granite Ogre and Soul Reaper are excellent defending troops, meanwhile Lava Jaw is good at hunting Anthropus Talismans from Anthropus Camp and Banshee is good at speed attacking. ( Soul Reapers are able to steal soul if they survived from enemies attacks, for example, 100 of them survived from battle, you will have about 100 souls that can be revived given that number of enemy's troops exceed 100. Another special ability of Soul Reaper is it cannot be defeated by Wraith Dragon)

4) Elemental Dragon Eggs

   Finding an Elemental Dragon Egg is depending on your luck. If you are lucky, you can get the egg in less than 10 attacks. If you are not lucky, you will probably get the egg in days or weeks even though you are using wave attack (sending out troops to one location continuously). The easiest way to get the egg is by using wave attack. If you are a beginner which has less than 10k troops, send out all the troops to the closest level 7 or above wilderness first, then divide the troops into teams according to the number of elemental dragon you have. After that, send out one team by one team including your great dragon and elemental dragon in your marches. The higher the level of wilderness, the higher the probability of finding a dragon egg. Pictures below are reports of elemental dragon eggs that have been found.

5) Elemental Dragon Armors

    There are four pieces of armors for each elemental dragon. In order to get easier to find the dragon armors, just hit the wilderness where you found the dragon eggs. They are much easier to get when you have upgraded your Dragon to level 8. Pictures below show the dragon armors.
