I am personally fairly happy with what we have now in regards to strength of the dragons, Balerion is pretty much a nuclear bomb as before, whilst others are not so much. Aegon can still easily beat most Kingdoms, it's only the Lannister/Gardener alliance that can really cause trouble. To beat their stacks you need to ensure Aegon, Rhaenys and Visenya are leading a flank to make sure the tactics are used.
 
Honestly, I think they are exactly as powered as they should be. Balerion is pretty much god, I easily won Aegons conquest. As it goes for the other younger dragons it is even stated in canon lore that they aren't as powerfull as they were in the earlier version. In the Queen and Princess story, the Targaeryans made great effort to recruit the Lords Paramount. Armies was also the reason why Aegon managed to "win" even though he had many fewer dragons than Rhaenyra.
Balerion died at least three times before I could conquer the Seven Kingdoms after as many restarts, and that was because I didn't use him when I didn't ABSOLUTELY needed to. Right now every dragon action has 2% chance of wounding him (putting him out of commision for months) and 1% of maiming him (basically means hes as good as dead), this should definitely be halved at least
 
The AI will deploy their dragons on their own, you can't influence it.

If I can't influence, then at least I should be given a notification telling me the AI's decision.

Maybe make it so that if multiple flank leaders have dragons, when the player uses them they all use them.

That's an idea. But, I propose multiplying the benefits and penalties.
 
That's what I'm saying. The only reason Dorne couldn't be conquered isn't the dragon's fault. Dornish men never fought a battle head to head with the dragons. So does the faith rebellion.

That's not what we're talking about, we're talking about dragons fighting head on against an army.

what I'm saying is, right now, in a head to head battle, a dragon rider simply couldn't win the fight unless you have more troops than your opponent's morale decay, which is bulls###
 
Didn't Dorne use the mountains and the cave systems as well as guerrilla warfare to fight off the Targs?

Also at one point I thought you couldn't even use Dragons in the Mod on Mountain terrain? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.. haven't tested this in the latest version though.
 
Considering what was written in the book, Dragons WERE instant win button.

Not really. Dragon's were basically artillery and only really effective in wide open areas, like the Field of Fire. The Dornish Rebellions, Faith Rebellion, Dance of the Dragons and the Storming of the Dragonpit are all great examples of ineffective dragons.

There were certain areas you couldn't use dragons. The mountains north of the wall and a couple provinces in Dorne. Not sure if that's still true.
 
I've said it once and I will say it again, the dragons are wayy to weak

Even with the latest update, I have never seen an AI aegon manage to conquer the iron isles by himself nevermind the whole seven kingdoms, which is a shame because the old system used to be working.

I just have one question, do the devs actually see this as a problem or not?

Your Aagon has terrible luck, although he does usually lose if he attacks the isles first. Are you using 6.1, there is a bug where none of the historical dragons show up.

I saw him do it in last update, Aegon vs 7 kingdoms, 0 dragons mode. Seems like a lot of luck is involved, cuz a huge amount of lords defected to him making him win.
 
Hmmm, for some reason whenever I head for Essos as Aegon I am more than capable of completely smashing the armies of each and every Free City, but I had a game where I attacked Harren the Black and used my dragons. But despite deploying Balerion 2-3 times, Harren's armies completely annihilated mine.

Harren the Black is Ironborn.
