Draconian Race - Brainstorming

What about half-draconians?

What about I just slit my wrists right now and get it over with?

Why do something simple like have the Draconians gradually cede their lands to humans when you could go one step more crazy and have the draconians gradually cede control of their lands to goblins or something instead?

The dragon knights could be goblins wearing the scales of their long departed draconic masters. In the meantime you could have goblins riding increasingly small and stupid dragons until the late era they've got a goblin on a wyvern as a scout.

Enclosed is an example unit pic of what that might look like.

I've got an idea for one nation, with somewhat-draconic theme.

The whole nation is based around Wyvern Knights. Is that fine? If not, it's pretty basic strength-based ranged weapons (perhaps modded) and Earth for Strength of Giants/few blood hunters for possible Blood bless.

Just wanna say that I've slowly started the Draconian nation mod.

Here's a test sprite how the may look like:



Done by adding/modify existing unit pieces and a bit of recolouring.

Looks cool!

It fits the game, and will probably look awesome in the game. However, isn't he a bit too well-armoured? And on the other hand, it seems this guy at least isn't wearing a helmet. Are you doing a nation of size 3/4 guys where head-shots are the weak point, encouraging longer weapons? If so, that's very cool!

As I said, it was just a test sprite I pulled together within 10min

Draconian can't wear helmets (and boots), so it's a weak spot. I'm not sure yet if they should wear body armour or not versus stats.
