General
There are three crocodiles in Alexandria, each with a permanent place around the palace.
Strength
All crocodiles can be fought by Pointandclix and/or the Egyptian Workers. They have a starting strength of 30. So it takes a combined strength of 49 to safely eliminate a crocodile that has a strength of 30.
If a crocodile is not defeated with the first hit, the strength value is reduced by the damage dealt.
Impact
Once the palace has been built, the crocodiles have no influence on the game. With two exceptions:
- a repeating quest from Edifis (Allergic to crocodiles) in which he asks to defeat three Nile crocodiles
- a level quest at 55 (Plague of crocodiles) that requires 6 crocodiles to be defeated
So if you are close to the end of level 54, the crocodiles should be left where they are because it takes a long time for them to come back (see below).
However, when the palace is under (re)construction, the effects of the armored lizards will be felt:
Since the Egyptian workers are afraid of crocodiles, their productivity in palace construction is reduced by about 10 percent for each crocodile present. This means:
If all workers are deployed in the palace and all three raw materials (straw, stone, wood) are available in the palace, the productivity is
- 100% if no crocodiles are visible
- 90% if one crocodile is visible
- 80% if two crocodiles is visible
- 70% if three crocodiles is visible
Once the workers have consumed the magic potion of Getafix, they are no longer afraid of the crocodiles for the duration of the potion and productivity remains unaffected.
Re-Spawn Time
Once a crocodile has been defeated, it will reappear after a period of time. Similar to legions, there is a base stat. This is 18 hours for the crocodile and is reduced or extended by a certain amount of time by a random generator.
