About this project
What does Dragon Wars Variants add?
This pack is meant to be a fun addon to Archipelago Additions so my friends and I can mess around with them and I wanted to share them with more people, hence why I am here. For those who know my work on the Companion Expansion pack, this mod does include all of those and I am even working on making it more expansive rather than just putting all the companions in the dragon hunter ships
CREDITS/DISCLAIMER
Dragon Wars Variants is a project made by me, Firedust. Most dragon models use IoB models as a base due to hardcoded rigging dependencies making it impractical to scratch model. I do not claim to have made these models, they were created by the IoB team and now belong to NBD. I am permitted use of these IoB base assets provided we remain as an addon to IoB and/or NBD and do not claim to have made them. These credits may change as necessary. They will always be correct to the most recent release of this mod. I am also not affiliated with the official How to Train Your Dragon franchise or Dreamworks animation.
