While they hit a bit harder and have a higher movement speed than [[Black Dragon|Black Dragons]], the Gold Dragons lack the full magical immunity, making them popularly targeted and dispatched by [[Implosion]], a fatal thing for them. It would be great to force Green and Gold Dragons damage their own troops via breath attack, e.g. hitting them with a weak stack and causing retaliation which will kill much more of their allies than of ours. | While they hit a bit harder and have a higher movement speed than [[Black Dragon|Black Dragons]], the Gold Dragons lack the full magical immunity, making them popularly targeted and dispatched by [[Implosion]], a fatal thing for them.

Due to the resurrecting part of the [[Sacrifice]] spell being actually a regular level 4 [[Resurrection]], Gold Dragons can not be brought back with [[Sacrifice]], despite it being a level 5 spell; but they can be sacrificed (while it's almost useless since you wouldn't sacrifice a stronger troop for a weaker one). | Due to the resurrecting part of the [[Sacrifice]] spell being actually a regular level 4 [[Resurrection]], Gold Dragons can not be brought back with [[Sacrifice]], despite it being a level 5 spell; but they can be sacrificed (while it's almost useless since you wouldn't sacrifice a stronger troop for a weaker one).

The Green Dragons have lower defense than the [[Red Dragon]], but the same health value. However, the Gold Dragon has the third highest defense for a town-aligned creature, only surpassed by [[Arch Devil|Arch Devils]] and [[Archangel|Archangels]]. Its health is lower by 20% (50 health) than the [[Black Dragon]]'s, though, and equal to that of the [[Chaos Hydra]] and Archangel, which can both be [[Resurrection|resurrected]], unlike the Gold Dragons. Its defense upgrade bonus is the second highest in the game, a bonus of 9 defense, and only surpassed by the [[Angel]]'s upgrade bonus. Even with the high defense stat, the lower health makes a difference and the Gold Dragons shouldn't take too much damage or will start to lose their numbers. | The Green Dragons have lower defense than the [[Red Dragon]], but the same health value.

While in [[HotA]] the Gold Dragons ''can'' be resurrected by the [[Sacrifice]] spell, in most of the real-game situations it doesn't make a lot of difference, as the Rampart town cannot generate this spell in its Mage Guild. Apart from that, to perform the Sacrifice spell, one must take additional troops to his army (most likely cheap and numerous), which will most likely slow said army down, and will poorly fit for the Dragogeddon tactic, as a few of the units that are immune to the Armageddon (like Fire/Earth elementals) are also immune to the Sacrifice. And, vice versa, most of the units that can be Sacrificed would be burnt to a crisp, if you decide to cast Armageddon (especially if you split their stacks in order to cast the Sacrifice multiple times). Finally, both Rampart heroes types are very unlikely to learn the Fire School secondary skill, limiting the use of the Sacrifice spell to its basic effect in most of the cases. | |||
