Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]

I can also see how removing spells could make sense in mods...but it doesn't seem too major a priority. Almost none of the spells in the game would really fit too smoothly into a LOTR mod really...but that's more because there wasnt all that much in the way of spells being thrown around. I can't see anyone there casting master enslave or any other high level astral spell equally. But that's just because Gandalf had nothing on RADAGAST! Radagast was my favorite wizard even though he never appeared. Course neither did half the other wizards in Middle-Earth, but no matter.
But anyway if you think the spells dont fit too well in a LOTR setting a general weakining of magic power would be advisable...I'd say low level elemental spells would fit best, maybe some low level nature/death for the appropiate people.

Editing a spell's stats would achieve the same goal as being able to remove them. Don't like Summer Lions? Change the cost to 500 gems. Mind Duel? Change it to 100 gems, and I suspect it will never again be cast in combat.

As for weapon editors and such, I've one question related more to Dominions-PPP than DomII: Is there a comprehensive master list of all weapons and armor available in Dom-PPP somewhere, because the list given in the mon_edit.pdf was more of a guideline than a really comprehensive one. Would be nice to know.

Well maybe we will have the power to do these.

Yes, "spell editing" would be a neat feature.
((If we can disable spells only, that is all good as well.))

I know Im a party pooper but I think editing spells would be too far. I want people to enjoy the game but I dont want everyone playing different games.

Maybe a switch or a game-setting in the menu that would allow for a general raising of spell costs that use gems. That I would like.
