Kobold is one of the fastest races in Dominion. It has to be, because it is also the least efficient. Due to this inefficiency, they receive an enormous population bonus, handy unit bonuses, and a nice spell, putting them either on par with or ahead of the other races during early and mid round. Late round is the bane of Kobolds everywhere, and one will only survive to the end with a large land and population advantage over more efficient races.
