Dragon Empire Hints and Tips

About Dragon Empire

After enemies destroyed your empire, you seek to rebuild and prosper in a new land. It is a match three puzzle game where resources and money will need to be collected to construct a new city.

How to Play

In each level, create chain matches of three or more like items by clicking on adjacent pieces in a horizontal or vertical direction to remove the tile plaques that reside beneath them. All of the tile plaques must be destroyed before you run out of time.

Each item on the board is a resource, bonus power up or barrier. Points and resources items are earned after every successful match. The Sakura branch tree keeps track of how much time you have left. If all of the leaves have fallen to the ground, the level ends and will need to be repeated.

In between levels a results screen will display your total time, number of collected resources and any extra bonuses you may have earned.

With the resources and gold you have accumulated, use them to purchase buildings for your new empire. Each building will require you to collect specific types of resources in the match three puzzle rounds. As each one is built, new resources, technology and culture items will become available on future levels.

Dragon Empire appears to have no ending and can be played indefinitely. However, after level 100 the game boards start to repeat themselves.
