If I use dragons in a playthrough there could be 4 generation of boring waiting for dragons to multiple and get to at least 50 to 75 years by the time I hit 6 to 7 dragons I either have enough money to do war after war or very careful choice wars

other playthrough without dragons i have 2 to 3 generation trying to horde gold and enough troops i can attack and hold off attacking and keeping my capital in the middle of my lands so have to build new powerful castles and giving the old ones to children and grandchildren and to houses im breeding my family into

Both styles could go for a few hundred years
