View Full Version : Tremble and Despair! Edi Finally Gets Dom3

That's right, I have finally gotten a copy of Dom3. Kaljamaha ordered our copies but the order got screwed up somehow and thus there was quite some delay before it got sorted.

Obviously, this means that I am going to suffer a massive shortage of free time as I get familiar with the game.

First order of business after a few cursory games: A slew of Faerun maps. Faerun 283 for each of the three eras, as well as a larger Faerun map with ~340-400 provinces.

And finally a whole damned Units & Equipment DB unless somebody has beaten me to the punch on that one.

There is one god thing about this, though: I can start off with v3.04 instead of suffering through the problems that were reported earlier.

I just wish the Cradle map that came with the game had been reworked for proper bordering, terrains and otehr stuff, as I love it and the included version was the first, buggiest version that had some sea provinces as plains. Tweaking that was the first thing I did.

So far, I'm liking what I see, except I hate not being able to hide researchers with tab. Can we please get that back in the next patch? Pretty please?

Oh, and for those who are interested, Kaljamaha was making some noises about redoing the Löemendor map for Dom3, so there's something else for everyone to look out for.

Good luck. I started to do that but got distracted by trying to find all the spell effect numbers.

Ditto, but they better be paying rent!

Thanks for creating these lists Edi... it will help on the mods and maps I'm creating.

Welcome back, Edi ! Your high-quality DB work is much needed. There is a spreadsheet with Unit and Gods floating around (see in the Maps & Mod forum) but Equipment as well as Item and Spell list (with stats) is missing.

Even the unit and pretender list is incomplete.
Someone started the list and then just completely stopped.

SunrayBe started those. I'm not sure how incomplete they are.

I haven't seen Sunray around... I guess Sunray found some other game especially since these aren't getting updated.

I'm now working on other projects indeed.
See www.ageod.com (http://www.ageod.com)

The unit list is almost complete (only Marignon is missing) and is based on the commercial version of the game (an older version of the list was still based on the beta). Hectic time : I must still download the last patch http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
