Draconian Wars Rulebook
Apr 8, 2013 Guides 0 commentsIf you want to know every single detail of Draconian Wars rules, this is your guide.
During thousands of years Hyperborea has been under the uncontested control of the Draconians, but now the Technocrats have arrived to the shores of the continent and they claim what once was theirs. The control of the land is what will bring victory to one or other. The Draconian extract their magic power from the earth, consuming the live and the natural resources around them. On the other hand, the power of the Technocrats comes from coal and steel, both equal abundant in Hyperborea.
Game Basics:
Draconian Wars introduces an innovative game mechanic, where the cards are your life, resources and the tools you will use to defeat your opponent. There is no life counters or something like that, when you win a combat and establish control over an area your opponent loses cards. Deplete your opponent’s reserve of cards and become the winner.
There are four types of cards: Units (Ground and Air units), Weapons, Gears, and Disrupts:
In Draconian Wars players not only place cards on the table, they can maneuver their units on the battlefield adding another layer of strategy to the game. During the game there are 6 areas (3 ground areas and 3 air areas). Units move through this areas, fighting your opponent’s unit and bringing support where they are more needed.
Game Modes:
Draconian Wars offers plenty of game modes:

While at the time I'm writing this, the game could use some work--you can definitely see that it is a work of love. The developers definitely want to make this game as enjoyable as they can for everyone. I expect to see a lot of updates and new elements in this game. I'm sure they haven't run out of ideas. The game itself is fun. There is a lot of strategy involved. I'm not quite sure yet how it will play against real players, as so far I've only touched the AI. Congrats, Kardfy. I want to play…

The game crashed after I made the profile but before I selected faction. Now when I start the game I get to a screen with single/multiplayer and profile name but I can't seem to click on anything. Do I need to reinstall?
Also is the choice of starting faction permanent? How can I play the other faction/starting deck?
Thanks
This game looks really great, but the tutorials are a reaaal pain in the ***. I still dont understand how the game calculates stuff like dmg, armor and so on in battles, i dont get why in the tutorial both sides did something with this "fate", and so on. The numbers at the bottom of the cards aren't really explained at all, e.g. what does the "skill" part mean? this has incredible potential, it looks really nice, but i dont understand how on earth its supposed to be played. so, in short, i think the tutorial needs a complete re-do.
Download the rulebook.
Brilliant answer. Please explain the use of any kind of tutorial in a game, if a rulebook exists.
Hi Merauder and welcome to Draconian Wars,
I just created a thread to solve your doubts in Desura forum Desura.com
Please, take a look.
Cheers
Hey! Read it, this really helps. I'll print out this and the rulebook and give the game another go, because I really like your concept.
Just to second the above, I found the in-game tutorial nearly worthless. At no point am I shown how a real game might play out, it's like I'm being read out-of-context bits of the manual and being told what to click. I already know how to use my mouse and the manual clarifies HUGE gaps that the tutorial leaves so.. why have it?
I cant find any multiplayer matches, maybe it's a bug? Or not many people are playing now? So add me as a friend if you want to play, lets try.
Is there a tutorial, instruction manual, or built in help, for people who are totally new to this type of card game? So they can learn it?
You have all of them. There are 5 comprehensive tutorials in the game that show you how the game is played. There is also a contextual help window that explains you some key features of each card. Finally, if you need more details of the rules, you can download the complete manual in pdf from Draconianwars.kardfy.com
