i stink with dragons. but still, i don't see while the bile attack is better than frost/fire breath.

the most convincing case for the superiority of the green dragon is it's potential for regen, but that is fanto's idea, not mine(as she is, oh, i don't know, about 10X smarter than i am) but you don't mention that.

why would bile be better? i have had trouble getting dragons killed, so i would think the delayed effect would be negative, as it gives it's enemies time to inflict damage.

another thought on early expo/pretenders is that some pretenders have the ability to be a SC chasis while also producing freespawn, which, used correctly with a second commander, can become a separate expo group every two to three turns(if you are crafty). of course, the dragons don't have this.

so i think you really can't say any one of them is the 'best' for expo. and that is awesome, cus different ideas are what makes the games fun.
