Yes, but I think in the future will be free. Although you have to find and train other nine dragons, so you should not worry so much about the dragon of Chronos
Yes, the rubies are very important to evolve in the game and they are very expensive. But, you can survive without them. I have all elemental dragons and 800K power... So put a little effort and you can make it :D
the sanctuary gives you the chance to breed new superior dragons, combining different species. Right now you can only appeal the great drago, the fire dragon, the ice dragons, the tonatiuh dragon and gaia. And you cant level up the new dragons, for that you must wait :)
With time and effort, you can become a powerful player without kreds... i have 280k of power. The great dragon, water dragon, and earth dragon all with their armors and i do all without kreds.
A little help for beginners: 1 This game takes time. Don't expect to be an powerful player in one or two days. 2 First, create a couple places of resources and level them up. 3 continue creating and leveling up these places as you level up the fortress too. 4 secure a good amount of gold per hour, and then start upgrading your dragon and the walls.5 last create an army (try to make it of archers and minotaurs) and do the quests. 6 when you complete all of this help you´re going to know how to play very well :D + to get to the top!
yes hidranoid you are right, buut... for example if you dont like "dogs" why you are going to tell everyone that you hate them? just think it, and save it in your head, nobody wants to know about your problems
