Request for strategy: Late game tips

[Manuk]

Boron's map

I posted the question in an other thread but this seems to be the right place. Anyway, i found this thread in the mod's section. It could aid new players to familiarize with late-game-stuff. I will try this at home. Let's see if I can learn something.

What I was looking for is a mod for make all spells lvl 0 and i don't know how to do it.

I've attached a mod which does this. [Edit: attachments don't work right now. Download it instead from ]http://students.cs.byu.edu/~mdw45/easyspell.dm] One caveat: this doesn't adjust the difficulty of constructing magic items. That's because unique items *must* be left at level 8 to be unique, and also because I (cough) was too lazy to look up all the item numbers. It would be

#selectitem [name or number, without brackets]
#constlevel 0
#end

I'm not sure if magic items are numbered sequentially, in which case you could do what I did and write a for-loop to set them all to zero.

P.S. Thanks for asking. I should have written this long ago to use with the battle-map, but I never got around to looking up the mod commands.

attachements dont work still

That's odd. I'll attach it as a .zip file instead, on this message. If that fails you can always regenerate it with my Python script (replace underscores with spaces):

f = file('c:\program files\dominions3\mods\easyspell.dm','w')
print >>f,'#modname "All spells pre-researched"'
for x in range(798):
____print >>f,'#selectspell',x
____print >>f,'#researchlevel 0'
____print >>f,'#end'
f.close()

It doesnt help. The attachment function is broken.
If you really want to make something available you need to upload it to a web directory and provide a link.

I was going to do that for you but the python script didnt run for me.

The forum doesn't display spaces, so I've replaced all spaces with underscores. (Sorry, I figured anyone who knew Python would see where the spaces were meant to go.) However, I've also followed Gandalf's suggestion and put it on my school account web site.
