I'm tempted to use Deadly Dragons instead of Enhanced Mighty Dragons this time, because Deadly Dragons seems to offer more in-game customization. However, they're still rather predictable, and once you've grown enough in power it's just a matter of waiting for the dragon to land, running up to it, and hitting it until it's dead. I also like that you can make the dragons unleveled, so that they don't scale to your level. It's a great mod in the sense that it makes dragons much more diverse, both in terms of appearance and breath weapons, and definitely makes them much harder to kill. So far I only have experience with Enhanced Mighty Dragons. Both can potentially be used along with Dragon Combat Overhaul, which only (?) affects the dragon A.I./behaviour. I believe Deadly Dragons and Enhanced Mighty Dragons are mutually exclusive, in the sense that they both increase the raw power of dragons, such as their health, regeneration, damage output, etc.

There seems to be three main alternatives: I'm in the process of determining which mod(s) to use for enhancing dragon combat (to make them more challenging), and would appreciate some input.
