    $\begingroup$ "Because of that, we must assume everyone has access to dragons, both sides." Must we? That's certainly one possibility, but another is that only one side keeps them, breeds them in captivity, and hunts down and captures or kills any wild or escaped dragons precisely so that no one else can get ahold of them. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You are right about canvas sails and such causing difficulties, but wood still can be used despite things trying to set it on fire. Look into heavy timber construction techniques sometime... $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MasonWheeler If only one side has dragons, we can assume that after a long period of time the other sides lost, and then this one side split into many, each with their dragons. The advantage firebreathing 100kg fighting critters give in medieval warfare is too big. $\endgroup$
