* Playing against [[Tower]] which has [[Giant and Titan|Titans]] who hate Black Dragons, try to use the following tactics so as to avoid Black Dragons' losses (see [[Dungeon#Cons|Cons]]). If Titans are behind someone else, attack that unit with Black Dragons, and breath attack will do 150% damage against Titans due to Black Dragons' hate against them. It works even if Black Dragons targeted another stack, and Titans won't retaliate. | * Playing against [[Tower]] which has [[Giant and Titan|Titans]] who hate Black Dragons, try to use the following tactics so as to avoid Black Dragons' losses (see [[Dungeon#Cons|Cons]]).

* | * There is no hero with [[Medusa and Medusa Queen|Medusa]] specialty, unlike other towns which have heroes specializing in 4th level units. It's not a big problem, but Medusas still might want to be buffed, as they are rather slow, often forced into melee due to low amount of shots and lack of [[Ammo Cart]], and generally weaker than [[Swordsman and Crusader|Crusaders]] and [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampire Lords]]. | ||
* If the map has only one layer, Dungeon will get a disadvantage since subterranean terrain is used rarely without underground layer, and in most cases any other faction will get a speed bonus unlike Dungeon. | * If the map has only one layer, Dungeon will get a disadvantage since subterranean terrain is used rarely without underground layer, and in most cases any other faction will get a speed bonus unlike Dungeon. | ||

* Beware [[Giant and Titan|Titans]] who [[hate]] Black Dragons. Titans and Black Dragons have similar stats, possibly sharing 2nd-3rd place in the whole game after [[Angel and Archangel|Archangels]], but Titans have an opportunity to shoot Black Dragons to death, and if Black Dragons force them to melee (which is possible as Black Dragons are faster), Titans will still do 150% damage by retaliation. Impossibility of Black Dragons' resurrection makes it a big problem. | |||
* [[Prayer]] is banned, while this spell may help Red Dragons (but not Black) a lot since they're immune to Bless, Bloodlust, and Haste. (Rampart's [[Green Dragon and Gold Dragon|Green Dragons]] are susceptible to Prayer as well, and in Rampart this spell is available.) | * [[Prayer]] is banned, while this spell may help Red Dragons (but not Black) a lot since they're immune to Bless, Bloodlust, and Haste.
