I don't see the problem.  The only differences between two dragons
   as characters and two dragons as soldiers are 1) more than one per
   slot, and 2) you oppose them with battle spells.  Since they are in
   the same slot, they are *easier* to kill than if they were
   characters (because killing one may cause the other to break,
   giving you an unskilled dragon race, and because you only need to
   oppose one slot with trids, not two).

This on the other hand may be a real hole in the rules.  Considering
how generous Legends is about rounding up population increases, the
games you can play with multiple pop segs could really pay off in the
case of such a race.  Give me one dragon unskilled population, and I
can make dozens of them in a few months.  Anybody tried that one yet ?
Or was Midnight careful enough to zero their reproduction rate ?
