Could anyone tell me how to get dragon rider in dark side?

Yep, you're right - there's a fine balance here as I ended up with 10M gold at the end of the game.

I was ultra-cheap, though, and didn't use much Blackie Teleportation until the end of the game (although you'd probably only spend 50-100k from all the teleports). I guess I had some nostalgia for the sailing days!

I was really raking the gold in in Helvedia (and experience, too) as it seemed like some battles were almost 100k a pop.

I think if you go the Dragon Rider route, you have to ensure that you don't lose any - 100k a pop is too expensive to lose one.

Pretty much most other losses can be handled by Recruiter or Puppeteer if you do it right.

Thanks for the explanation, Matt. I was scratching my head a bit on that one.

My feeling with Dragon Riders was that they were just way overpowered, even with one stack. Yeah, you could play with all Dragon Riders split into different stacks but it'd be too easy.

I only ended up with 7 mil at the end of my game, but I could have had way more had I actually sold unwanted items instead of destroying them for crystals. So I think past a certain level gold is just a non-issue in this game, even on Impossible.

Yah - I didn't sell any items either, in fact I bought every single one since I needed them for Crystals just like you.

I did do every item upgrade fight, so that probably got me quite a bit of extra gold here and there. I also was raking it in when I was in Helvedia.

You know, I think before I finally got more Dragon Riders, I had single stacks of them summoning like 7 or 8 dragons a pop. It was ridiculous.

My ArchDemons would distract with their Volcanoes and the Dragon Riders would summon 3 random dragon stacks. Then the fun would ensue.
