Does that "80" refer to wish categories or does it include individual things like magic items? |

Re: wut can u wish for with wish?
80 does not include individual items, because there are many more magic items in the game than that, and Wish can get you any of them,.

It looks like there are about 70 strings in the executable however it looks like many of them map to the same thing ex:
dough
copper
silver
riches
wealth
money
gold
fighting skill
combat skill
experience
fame ( not sure if this maps to the same thing )
commoners
peasants
populace
people
stop starv
wine
broth
supplies
supply
food
huge nation
large lands
provinces
etc. |

Heehee. I wondered if anyone would pick up on how to get the whole list. Thats what I did, a "strings" command. I hope that in Dom3 they encrypt their data. Even if they did a Rot13 on each bit of text before using it I dont think it would slow the game down much and would make it alot more fun not knowing stuff like this.

On a Unix variant (Linux, Mac O/S, Solaris),
strings <name of file>
will dump all the printable strings in the file to the screen. The output can be redirected as normal, which is good, since there's a lot of text in the executable. 
Sorry, I don't know if Windows has a similar command/function.

I beg to differ on both points. Rot13 or the feeble method they used in the save files will fall very quickly to people who want to crack the game. Significant encryption raises the bar, but since the key(s) must be somewhere in the distribution, it will fall eventually... and even w/o the the keys built in, there are Other Ways of getting them. 
As to making it more fun, well, not for me. I don't mind losing to a better player, but I strongly object to losing because I not only don't know the rules, but they're actively hidden from me.
