[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7734185, member: 6925649"] Honestly this changes things beyond all recognition. So much of what Europe was in 1492 depended on what went on before and having dragons as flying mounts changes things too much for anything to be recognizable. For instance if Leif Erikson had dragon mounts, he could have flown over to North America without a Viking Longboat, In fact Vikings wouldn't need longboats to raid coastal villages, and they wouldn't need to limit themselves to villages on the coast, they could attack villages from the sky reining down death and destruction! the Vikings could have taken the northern route across the Atlantic, island hopping to Iceland to Greenland and then to Newfoundland, they would have had fire breathing dragons and steel weapons and armor. Dragons no doubt fly faster than any kind of sailing craft, they probably would have gotten further down the east coast of North America and stayed when they found a climate that suited them. By the time the Spaniards got there, they would have found a bunch of Vikings in the Caribbean to greet them. [/QUOTE]
