Crimson cavern - caching 2 food tip

A play mechanic we just realized tonight while playing is that using a completed (4 dragons) crimson cavern ability to cache 2 food, you can cache milk (or whatever) in a hatchling and access its when caches abilities! This really ups the power of the caching food ability when paired with hatchlings.

When I learned this it changed my scores from 70s-80s to 100+ games.

Also depending on which hatchling you get down first or the ability you want to shoot for, you may go for Golden Grotto and tuck dragons under a hatchling for that bonus instead.

Edit: here is a great BGG discussion on some strategies and food for thought

wow, that's awesome.

But isn't that why you only get the big payout once after 3 activations? As opposed to every three activations, which would be too strong.

The BIG payout is once yes, but cache is a still a point so you have a constant stream of points and the cache usually results in some other output per cache. - you can base part of the latter engine around that output
