The funniest thing in Dominions 2

[Unwise]

IM-borne routines sounds like a bizarre way to implement code.

You should get your friend named "Cameron" to make something useful, like a routine that pulls the sprite images from the game.

Maybe its easier to just trip on some 'shrooms and then fire up Dom? Or watch TellyTubbies or that new forked up show for tots...

I dunno, IM activated code... I guess if you take enough hits off it

My routines are alittle more simple, and in-game. They randomize things involved with the map. If you download "Poke in the Eye" http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...2/Poke_Eye.map it uses the eye.map but changes the game. It randomizes alliances between the AIs, it scatters castles/labs/temples all over the map, and it gives a random commander with ranom equipment, bodyguards and troops in each province. This includes your own so you will start with an extra commander and army. They are selected from EVERYTHING in the game so you might get dragons, doom horrors, or even an army of titans. But then you might also find that the province next to you is guarded by a monolith with 10 wyrm bodyguards.
The Poke_Eye.map is automatically re-randomized every day.

His prog will most likely get an Users pc infested with some worm etc. :
Seems to me he's either looking for IM accounts or uses security holes in IM clients to get access to PCs which are Online.

smells more of an hoax (to be kind) than of anything else. A code activated by IM'ing... come'on, why not activated by giving your credit card number?

and if you are (or your friend) as talented as you pretend, then you should be able to use the printscreen key to show us your prowess...

Now the funniest thing I had in dominion was when a just-bought scout (still on defend) repelled by himself a barbarian invasion event*. Well perhaps not the most funny, but kinda impressive I would say

As it was in dom1, I renamed it with a nice name, and he even got some items just for him (eye of aiming, boots of quickness, staff of corrosion).

* : as soon as 2 barbs were wounded, the whole hord routed...

I didn't want to say it out loud, since I couldn't find a mention of money in the message, but it does smell funny.
If you really want strange picture in dom2, there is always the trick of launching it full screen in Windows, then using Alt-Enter, Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc to minimize it, doing something else, then coming back, it works quite well
