Description
===========
Imperial Dragon Armor as it should be.

Location
========
You can get the armor in a usual way after completing main quest. Or, If you have done it already you can just take this armor on, meshes and stats will be replaced. But I recommend to unequip Imperial Dragon Armor and throw it out of your inventory before installing this mod, just in case.


Details
=======
I really like the idea of getting unique set of armor for completing main quest and saving the whole Empire from being torn into pieces and devoured by Oblivion. What I don't like is that this unique armor is not so... Unique. In vanilla game, as all you know, it's just one of 3(!) retextures of imperial legion armor with stats of my grandfather's chamber pot. Lazy Bethesda. So I launched blender and started working on a new iteration of this thing.
What I ended up with is a stylish mix between antique and late Gothic armor pattern. All the meshes comes with corresponding ground meshes and icons.
Ah, and I changed stats of heavy armor to be something slightly better than ebony and altered the enhancement. It supposed to be the best armor Empire can offer.
Moreover, this mod replaces the quest icon for armor with one showing new helmet instead of old one, as well as replacing Tiber Septim's Armor and Emperor armor. Emperor's cuirass got unique model featuring all his imperial glory and animated cape.

Install
=======
1. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
1.1 If you got Imperial Dragon Armor in your inventory, load your game and throw armor out of it before installing this plugin.
2. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp.
3. You can merge this .esp using Wrye Bash to save plugin slot.

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the Stav_ImperialDragon.esp file.
2. Delete the following folders
Oblivion\Data\Meshes\stav\ImperialDragon
Oblivion\Data\textures\menus\icons\stav\ImperialDragon
Oblivion\Data\textures\stav\ImperialDragon

And Stav_ImperialDragon.esp from Oblivion\Data Folder



Incompatibility
===============
This mod is obviously incompatible with any mod that alters the same armor, in fact, I don't know any of them but WAC, which assign slightly altered mesh to the original armor. So you MUST load my mod after WAC using Wrye Bash or any similar tool.
