Exactly as the title says. I really don’t want to use data mods at all, but I have a scenario that could really benefit from a dragon unit. I know it’s a bit mythological, but a dragon would look a lot cooler than having to use a Komodo dragon. I wouldn’t be surprised if other people would use a dragon as well in their scenarios if it got added. What do people think?

I fully agree with this.castles knights dragons complete any medieval setting.
Heck even aoe has a nice dragon.

Free forgotten empires was coming with a dragon scenario editor unit

Indeed it was.
I’ve wanted more scenario editor units like generic mounted skirmisher instead of the Genitor, mounted crossbowmen/Cranequinier etc…the crusader knight wasn’t enough.

A man of culture I see.

Even better, the dragons could be assignable to different players, be able to have a color set for them, which would change the color of the scales, and best of all, what if they were linked to architecture sets? There are a lot of different dragons, here are just some ideas, which are just randomly lifted from the internet:
MesoAmerican Dragon: Queztacoatl, the Feathered Serpent
Some of the European style dragons:
East Asian Dragon: A Chinese Dragon, but easily recognized
That’s just a few ideas, there are a lot of different options. What do people think about having dragon graphics linked to Architecture set?

Ok, if that changes sometime in the future that would be awesome. This would really help make one of my scenarios a heap better. Thanks for checking anyway.

No. Baring the no data mod thing, I feel like they just don’t fit the game as well visually as an actual dragon would. Thanks for trying to help though. 
I also think that adding it ingame has a lot more longterm viabilty for the community as a whole.

Dragons make more sense than Cobra cars as a cheat unit

Yes. They shouldn’t be a cheat unit though, scenario editor is better.

I do think some fantasy elements for custom scenarios might revitalize the storytelling scenarios scene a bit.

Why not bring back the old dragon?
A lot of scenario used it and it was quite fun.
It could be great like the dragon to have heroes who do blast radius.
It really miss to the game this possibility. Imagine a franck who throw axis who attack like a balista.
A malian who throw a little bomb instead of a projectile like a slinger.
…
Also a lot of unit are missing in the editor

Just found this thread while wondering if anyone else had ever suggested adding a dragon.
I really think dragons and similar medieval fantasy units (like trolls and giants) would be great to add as scenario & cheat units.
The easiest way for a dragon would be to make it as a variation of the Sharkatzor cheat unit, use the skin of the uncontrollable dragon from the “King Arthur” cheat code in Return of Rome, and add an attack animation. Though I really like the idea of different regional skins.
With that said, I think that fixing known scenario breaking bugs should have way higher priority than adding any new content at this point.
