Posted January 29, 2014 A means of speeding up and increasing chance of egg hatching (assuming its not just tied to population caps). Article mentions over 80% hatchability; though, theres always game balance to consider. As a fire source it will require fuel and monitoring of the heat levels (ala smithing and cooking mechanics). Work for dragon eggs as well? Perhaps require very exacting heat levels over a very, very long time in the case of dragons. Fluctuation in heat levels affect the color, Green easiest to Red most difficult? One of the first recorded methods of incubating included using the heat of rotted manure to warm the eggs. The Egyptians had a better method of incubating that used a cylindrical building that had a fire at the bottom of the building. The eggs that were incubating were placed on an inverted cone that was partially covered in ash. The eggs were placed in a woven basket that sat on top of the ashes. The building also had a roof that allowed smoke to escape, but it kept the rain out. In 400 B.C., Aristotle had recorded that women of the time in Greece would tuck eggs under their breast to keep them warm.
