Re: Cliche Mod idea
So suddenly a GUI for savegames -- an interface issue -- has become a cliche on a par with orcs, elves, dwarves, etc?
And in0game alliances, which could deepen both the multiplayer and singleplayer game options, are cliches?
Cliché gamers, not games .. for sure
interactive combat (hey ! With reverse engineering,everything is possible !)
That's utterly, completly nonsense - surely fitting for a 'cliché gamer' like those mentioned above ... .
The only way to give Dominions "interactive" (real time?) combat is to re-write the whole thing.

Ok, so what other name do you suggest of the mod ?

That's precisely why I posted it.

I think it's meant as a joke anyway - not just from the impossible things, but also the " pork elves".

Re: Cliche Mod idea
While I'm here, it wasn't a GUI for saved games but a method of backing up savegames, complete with GUI.
Anyways, we seriously need to be able to stack helmets on top of each-other.

Re: Cliche Mod idea
Here here--helmets should be stackable.
Also:
--people should be able to throw one javelins with each hand, i.e. 2 javelins per turn.
--Vorpal Swords
--more bunny rabbits--not enough mods include warrior bunnies, healer bunnies, mage bunnies....
--Vampires vs. Lycanthropes, armed with machine guns. And more hot chicks.
--hot chick mod. Hot chick in chainmail. Hot chick in skimpy spellcasting outfit that lowers encumberance. Hot demon chicks. Succubuses/succubi??. Really really really cool hot chicks with swords and bikinis/bikinii??.
--Dragons!! More Dragons!! Hot chicks riding dragons would be really really really cool!!!
--a spiritual mod. Deeper. More philosophical. Meaningful. With depth. And meaning. And spirituality. Kant, Descartes, Heideger, Neitzche, and Michael Richards can all be different types of Leaders (mages and commanders). We can use troops called Paradox, Paradigm, Fallacy, etc. They will have weapons like Occam's Razor and The Pencil.

Can you rename magic items? A 'Head Finder Sword' actually might not be that hard.

I protest. That's not cliche enough. Many games don't even have spears, let alone such an obscure ranged weapon like javelin. Problem is, spear requires different animations, because fighting style is different. http://livinghistory.ie/modules.php?...E=Introduction The canon of ranged weapons is: bow and occasionaly shuriken (throwing star). Everything else is too obscure.
Only if they wear black leather.
We can't afford to have mere dragons in the mod, or even dragons of different colors. We need something better. Megadragons, Rust Dragons, Crystal Dragons too ! And dragon cavalry. How about dragons in Province Defence ?

Re: Cliche Mod idea
Black leather bikini clad chicks in extremely high heels, riding chainmail Megadragons, and cracking a Pleasure Whip that does mind control/domination/turn if MR is not rolled.
Hot Elven Chick mod would be good too. They could use bows. And arrows.
Yeah.

Re: Cliche Mod idea
Hey !@! I played a game which had Pork Elves of Times Old, and not just that, but also Maces-In-A-Can, Baby Killer Bee(Note the spaces), Sabertooth Lime, Fruit Golem, Can of Magicalness, Undead Elbow Macaroni, Possessed Can of Tomatoes, Rushing Bum, Vampire Clam, Quantum Mechanic, Fiendish Can of Asparagus(... asparagustabs you in the knee ! Ooof !), Gnollish Crossdresser, Gnollish Tyrejuggler, Possibly Giant, Knob Goblin Barbecue Team(includes magically animated grill), Weremoose, and more !
And it has classes as glorious as Seal Clubber, Turtle Tamer, or Accordion Thief.
