The Imperial Dragon (Karl Franz Mount)

Description
"There is but one Dragon in the Imperial Zoo, a ferocious beast raised from an egg said to have been taken from the deepest cave in the Black Mountains. None but Emperor Karl Franz have ever dared to ride it, for only he has the strength of will to dominate its cold, aloof mind."

This mod adds the Imperial Dragon to Karl Franz's mount options. It is unlocked at level 21. Deathclaw is still available, of course, as it would be silly to get rid of his iconic griffin. I do not want Deathclaw to become irrelevant. For now, I have given Deathclaw some buffs to make him a bit stronger in a duel. He also gets a small VS large bonus. In terms of stats, the dragon seems a little weaker. However, the dragon also has a more powerful splash attack, so it can hit more enemies with one blow. This means that both mounts have different roles to play. The Deathclaw is good for duels with lords or monsters, while the Imperial Dragon makes short work of hordes of weaker units.

Love this but can you change the armor on the dragon so it would more like an empire made armor not a high elf one ???

I have checked the mod files and adjusted some minor things so it should now work in the newest version. Will probably test it soon, but if someone else can confirm if it is working that would be great too.

As for all of your suggestions: I have very little time to work on this, as I am very busy with other things in my life. This is why I can't promise that I will make any compatibility patches for this mod myself, but feel free to make and upload them yourself. If you notify me, I could add some links to them in the description of this mod. I do still want to see if I can add a feature where you can summon Deathwing/the dragon if you are not mounting them, but again I can't promise when or if I will add this. I will first have to see how long it would take me to implement it. If it is not a lot of work I might do it soon, if it's a lot of work it might take a while (if I get to it at all).

Thanks anyway for playing and let me know if there are any issues.

Oh, and yes: I'm sorry for being such a nerd and just confirming whether this will be fine to use right now will already make me happy <3

I'd also be interested if this works in 5.0.3

Also, it would be great if this was by default compatible with the 2 Deathclaw mods for Karl as they are pretty cool as well <3 One has the word "Elder", one "Loyal" in the mod name. If you want to take a look. Thanks <3

In an ideal world, any Empire mount mod would also not interfere with biubiu's "Mount Expansion" mod and the new Chinese "bodyguard" mount mod for the Empire (add the EN submod!). These 2 work together and offer a huge variety of cool mounts (but not this one, obviously).

is this work at 5.0?

So yeah, somehow I managed to figure it all on my own how to fix the compatibility between the two mods, good luck with the mod!

@AASnijders - Can you help in making your mod compatible with this one:

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974227802

So I can ride the Imperial Dragon and Summon Deathclaw to the battle and have best of both worlds? (It should be quite simple like changing 1-2 lines table entries right?)

I downloaded RPFM and have both mod enabled. Can you help me with this ?

Many thanks! (Liked and Favorited)

I think what kilovanh suggested is a great idea, it wouldn't make Deathclaw irrelevant and you could continue to use Deathclaw but also summon a dragon.

Hi kilovanh, that actually sounds like a cool idea. Might look into doing that sometime soon!

If you are still keeping an eye on this, or if you are waiting until patch 5.0/Thrones, is it possible to make it like the Sisters of Twilight? Where he can summon The Imperial Dragon if Karl is on Deathclaw and vice-versa?
