Questions and help, please??

Is there someone out there that can use maths better than I can? I'm really confused now because I am trying to see what I am missing. Are alts counted in the running dragon count type? And if so, then just how many dragons are there in the cave now? I've lost track again. My scroll says I have 276 unique breeds, but I was told there were 274 breeds. Also, when is the egg/dragon counted towards the total? When it is stolen or when is it successfully grown?

Anyone having any luck with the new breeds? I've managed to breed the new Nilia Alt and the Royal Purple Alt. Sending out good vibes to all.

Haha! Yep, they sit around stacked up in some digital waiting room based on their time left, highest time on top, until they get to the bottom of the stack and land on the AP!

It's probably most obvious at holidays, when the AP rules change so that holiday eggs are always further down the stack than non-holiday eggs, regardless of time. Right when the event starts, the AP goes from being full of regular, ~5day eggs to being full of 7-day holiday eggs, because the regular eggs got bumped to the top of the stack. Then a few days after the event ends, the AP goes from being full of ~3day holiday eggs to being full of ~1day regular eggs, when the holiday wall runs out at last and finally the regular eggs can get through! :D

Amusingly, eggs used to gain a day when they were abandoned! (Wow, I've been on DC a long time if I can remember that!) I'm glad that's not the case anymore.

Yes! I remember the added day too! And I remember dropping eggs to gain back enough time to hatch them as well even if it meant changing bloodlines.

I didn't care too much about lineages when I first began playing, and while I still don't now, I try to get caveborn mostly because I hate seeing the little tombstones in my lineages. LOL!
