How many Dwagons?
Any thoughts on how many dwagons Stanley has? Surely they will play a substantial role in Stanley/Parson's defense strategy, especially now that Jillian's not commanding the air defenses. I count five at the moment. Red, Yellow, Brown, Pink and Purple. One blue croaked by Jillian.

Re: How many Dwagons?
The blue one may be croaked, but there is a croakomancer on Stanley's side.
Dragon scheme reminds me of Dragon-Tails.

Re: How many Dwagons?
First panel of page 12 there are five and the middle one looks brown to me. Then the blue one was croaked.
Fourth panel of page 22 shows (to me anyway) a distinctly purple one which brings us back up to five.
Maxymiuk's link show's a yellow one using Bogroll as target practice but I don't know if it's a different yellow than the one on page 12 or the one on page 22. Also you can see part of a red on page 22 but it could be the same red as the one on page 12.
I guess what I'm really wondering is does he have handfull, 5 to 10, or does he have hundreds at his command? Not that anybody knows for sure yet. :)

Re: How many Dwagons?
The brown one is actually black, because the colors are a pun based on Power Rangers. So Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink and Black. I think the Purple is actually Pink - it was drawn in the "not here, not now" style, which tends to add a blur, a light brownish tint and uses true shadows (as opposed to shading). So it may explain the slight hue difference; if you're not convinced look at Yellow in 22 vs Yellow in 12.
However, the Dwagon shown in 3 and 4 is green, which brings it to a total of five even if we assume the yellow in 6, 12 and 22 is the same and the red in 12 and 22 is the same and the purple and pink is the same.

Re: How many Dwagons?
Umm... how are we to know that Stanley has only one of any given color of dwagon? Sure, we haven't seen more than one of any color in any one place, but I don't know that we should read that to mean that there's only one of each color.

Re: How many Dwagons?
Because that would screw with the Power Ranger color scheme.
By the way, I wonder if the Green one is somehow different?

Re: How many Dwagons?
That was a one-time joke by Jamie. It has no bearing on how many dwagons Stanley has in total.
The dwagon is taking a dump on Bogroll. That's all there is to it. Wanda doesn't want to be near him because he's holding an umbrella shaped like a bullseye. Target practice.Last edited by chionophile; 2007-02-05 at 09:27 PM.

Re: How many Dwagons?
Come to think of it, we seem to have completely missed the green one.
One Skunk Todd may be right about the yellow one, though the one here has a distinctly different shading from the one we see here. Still, it may just be something like the sun hitting its scales at a different angle.Last edited by Maxymiuk; 2007-02-05 at 06:39 PM.

Re: How many Dwagons?
The only thing I'll mention is that, considering that Wanda mentiosn being outnumbered "25 to 1", I doubt Stanley has over a hundred dwagons, tops, with it much more likely to be a dozen at most.
Thankfully, since it seems that Ansom has almost no air capability other than Jilian (captured), her gwiffon (which croaked), and the orlys (who also croaked), and some bats (which I doubt can match a dwagon one-on-one), than even a couple of dwagons can make a big difference in this fight.Noble Axeman of the Roy fanclub.

Re: How many Dwagons?
The latest strip has a distant shot of the tower with 10 or 11 large flying things (apparently) nearby. So at least a dozen seems likely now.

Re: How many Dwagons?
Looks like ~30 for sure now, including multiples of the same type. I know it's not horribly important, that there will be as many as the plot demands, but I like trying to figure it out anyway. :)

Re: How many Dwagons?
49 shows us many new ones, at least several dozen I say. They're going to be a key part of the defense, those archons will have their work cut out for them. Reminds me of the glory days of HoMM 3. Dragons clashing in epic battles, ah, the good old days.

Re: How many Dwagons?
I counted at least 10 on page 31. And there is a Blue Dwagon there, despite the fact Jillian had already croaked one.
And the last page (44, or 49, as LordVader said) shows at least 17 dwagons.
I guess the number is somewhere between 20 and 40 dwagons.

Re: How many Dwagons?
I counted 28 dwagons of various colours on the most recent: page:http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0049.html
If this thread was about how many colours there were then I am sorry and will delete this.Memento mori

Re: How many Dwagons?
Yes, the dwagon count has just increased significantly.
Maybe the arkenhammer's real power is it reduces the upkeep costs on dwagons to zero, letting you have as many as your command point limit allows.
Because I'm quite certain the upkeep on a dwagon is much higher than for Hampster.

Re: How many Dwagons?
Or at least significantly reducing it. But I don't think Stanley would complain even if the maintenance cost of the dwagons was sky high, as long as they have the stats to go along with it.

Re: How many Dwagons?
Hear hear for HoMM3 dragon battles. Those Crystal Dragon were teh pwn, though I preferred Ghost Dragons for the mental image.
I would anticipate that the Arkenhammer simply increases the appearance rate of Dragons that "offer" themselves. If you played Master of Magic, you'd see alot of that with random Gnoll Halberdiers showing up going "hay u got ten bux?" You'd still have the upkeep (like feeding the Dwagons), the Arkenhammer would simply trigger them showing up as supplicants. Otherwise they'd simply be overmap creeps like in WarCraft 3; things in the way causing attrition to those on the offensive or expanding.-2 Cursed Keyboard of Typos.
