| Jan 17, 2018 at 20:38 | comment | added | KalleMP | The culling technique needs modification. The dragon needs to revisit the cull sites more often. Like over harvesting of fish the key to population fall off is getting more of the breeding age vermin. Return more often even if you leave some of the older ones un-burnt, come back and kill the young and before the next generation is over you will have a good start to extermination. Domesticate a surveillance bird that will find human settlements to have more free time. | |

| Jan 17, 2018 at 18:54 | comment | added | David Foerster | To add to the comment of @jean, in Shadowrun the much smarter and experienced dragons use sometimes open, sometimes covert control over mega-coroprations and their wealth as well as media and politics to keep humans in check. (There's an allusion to a potentially devastating cyclical event that dragons know and try to avert at all costs but that humans are ignorant about.) At first dragons attempted to control humans through sheer physical power which was curtailed relatively quickly by modern arms and aircraft. Then dragons started to use aspects of human culture to control it. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 15:19 | comment | added | Nick Dzink | @Azor-Ahai 1) humans may advance beyond Dragon's capabilities to reduce them somewhere else on the planet if left unchecked. This is a potential threat. 2) Our Dragon is the supreme life form on the planet and has enjoyed this status for millenia, why would he give it up so easily? | |

| Jan 17, 2018 at 2:12 | comment | added | Andrey | I would love to see a question calculating if a dragon could genocide a medieval human race. My gut reaction is, without a problem | |

| Jan 16, 2018 at 14:05 | comment | added | DocWeird | Is breeding an army or intellectually inferior orcs, goblins or other fast breeding monsters, becoming their feared god and leading them agaist the humans - to take over their lands - out of the question? They would pose less of a threat in the end with little to no technological advancement. | |

| Jan 16, 2018 at 0:22 | comment | added | Nick Dzink | Unfortunately our dragon is a single specimen and will remain so for a very long time(think a number of years with five digits). | |
| Jan 16, 2018 at 0:22 | comment | added | HDE 226868♦ | I suppose this is the exact opposite of worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/q/16829/627. So it's sort of like "How could a dragon defend itself against primitive cultures?" | |

| Jan 16, 2018 at 0:14 | comment | added | Alexander | That's a losing battle. One dragon would need to spend a year to "clean" a small continent. Humans are multiplying faster than they can be taken care of. I suggest that the only way for this dragon to survive is to find a mate. | |
