Oh, I'm guessing this affects the cost on the Frost Dragon? I didn't play x.23 / 24, but under x.25 the cost of the Frost Dragon is Gold + Metal, not Gold + Crystal. Also, the base cost of the Celestial Dragon (before merchant discounts) also seems to be 1000/1000 not 1200/1200, though I didn't bother fixing that. Maybe the best temporary solution is to note both costs right there in the description for Frost Dragon?

This actually makes a fairly big difference to High Elf strategy, at least if you're playing Wisp-based. A Wisp-based strategy generates plenty of income to mass-produce dragons earlier than most races can, and is reluctant to occupy supply with supply-intensive metal-based units that don't generate crystal (*cough* *cough* dragon knights). This leaves you without any happy way of spending all your metal, *except* that having a metal-based dragon gives you a great place to sink your metal, without taking up much supply or needing to trade it into something else.
