Dragon Essence
Overview[edit | edit source]
Dragon Essence is a unique resource of Dragon clan Dragon Essence is a central gameplay element of the clan, playing a role in 
Happiness management, the acquisition of 
military units, and unlocking various economic and military bonuses.
The amount of Dragon Essence the player has is shown on the essence gauge along with the available essence bonuses. It slowly decreases over time, revealing new bonuses that can be unlocked.
Dragon Essence Bonuses[edit | edit source]
Only one bonus at a time can be activated. The active bonus is displayed on the left part of the gauge, and its power is affected by the clan's 
Fame; each fame bonus improves the available essence bonuses and unlocks one additional segment of the gauge. There are 5 segments in total, each with room for 3 essence and 1 bonus, though only 3 of the segments are unlocked from the start.

Military Units[edit | edit source]

Happiness[edit | edit source]

-10 penalty to Happiness, which will persist until the player gets more Dragon Essence.
