Tamers

From The Battle for Wesnoth Wiki

Tamers

Description

The Dragon Tamers, or just Tamers, got their start during the events chronicled in Northern Rebirth; as the Northern Alliance drew orcish attention and resources, other groups of slaves took the opportunity to escape. Many were brutally slaughtered, but one small group managed to escape and, with the companions they found along the way, begin a new way of life.

Tamer society is now largely tribal, with several tribes now well-established. Each tribe consists of both humans and dragons, and though wisps are not really part of the tribe, they never seem to be far, often serving as messengers for the seers which lead most tribes.

I am considering splitting off a Dragon faction all on its own, with several additional dragon development lines and level 1 recruiting from those lines. The Noble Hatchling would only be availabe in that faction, along with a hatchling AMLA which would flip fire and ice resistances and attacks, and possible some kind of "arcane" dragon, which would have balanced resistances, lowered attacks, and heal. Might have to wait for Tamers 0.6, as I'm a bit busy these days.

Version Information

This is currently displaying information from v0.5.0- release delayed pending release of Wesnoth 1.6. Hopefully, I can get everything 1.6 converted and released quickly.

Truly stuff of legends, such a rare beast as this has lived long and slain many a foe. They are often so far above mortal view that even attacking them might simply make them chuckle at your impotence.
