In a nutshell, Dragon Empires revolves around players, grouped into clans, taking over enemy cities. And while this sounds fairly simple, it can actually become quite complicated. To take a city, a clan must not only conquer the enemy clan that resides in it, they must also prove their worth to the dragon ruling over the empire. Partly, dragons are won over through simulated battles over a city’s monuments and statues, which will pit random clan members against other random clan members. Also, I surmise (because details regarding this aspect of the game are sparse) dragons will side with the clan holding more members, a higher monetary average per member, and the clan with more experience overall. And if a city is won over, it’s bad news for the losing side; clan members can come home to a city under new rule, their homes occupied and their belongings stolen.
