Dorne

Dorne is an age old kingdom that has never actually been forcefully conquered except by the Andals. When the Targaryans invaded their deserts they were never able to hold onto the territory, even losing one of their dragons in the process. Eventually a treaty was signed between the Dornish and the Targaryens, meaning that Dorne was finally inducted into the kingdoms, by their own choice. This, alongside a book wrote by a Targaryen king that exaggerated their military size, makes Dorne a kingdom that is viewed as almost unconquerable. Dorne has been a supplier of rare and exotic goods throughout the world for a long time now, the Dornish people being viewed as different than most of the other kingdoms. Because they are viewed as different because of their culture and views, many kingdoms and people tend to hold a stigma against them. Though even if these kingdoms have a prejudice against the Dornish, it does not seem to stop them from purchasing rare and expensive wines from Dorne, exported by rich and powerful merchants. Due to their exports the Dornish are a very rich people in comparison to the other kingdoms, surpassed only by The Reach and The Westerlands. The Dornish hold a deep hatred for The Westerlands because of them raping and murdering a notable member of their house that was wed to the Targaryens, her children were also murdered in the assault by none other than Ser Gregor Clegane. As they harbor hatred of this other kingdom, the Dornish people are just waiting for a chance to go to war with them and exact their revenge.

Dorne specializes in light and fast moving cavalry. They also have decent spearmen to be used against cavalry. Dornish archers and infantry are mediocre at best, the other kingdoms around them defeating them in the infantry category while the Dornish still succeed in archery above some of them. A good strategy to use with Dornish units is to keep your spearmen in front of an archer contingent and to have the spearmen stop enemy cavalry while your own cavalry remain off to the side. Once the enemy cavalry has been halted at the spearmen send your own horsemen to run through the enemy infantry, then loop around for a second strike. This should knock out and kill most enemy infantry and archers are Dornish horsemen are extremely fast, fielding the fastest cavalry in the game.

Dorne is the least inhabited kingdom in westeros besides The Iron Islands.

Dorne fields no navy since their ships were all burned in the Targaryen Conquests.

Dorne will not become involved in the war until House Targaryen lands in Westeros.


Recruiting units from Dorne

In order to recruit Dornish units from villages you own as an independent kingdom you will need to select a Dornish race on character creation. Dornish units can be recruited from villages regardless of player status unless they are hostile to Dorne. Additional ways to recruit Dornish units is to rescue them from enemy lords parties, find them in taverns, or rescue them from enemy garrisons.
