Suggestions for new patch

Illuminated One:

Commanders are sorted by ID, so now to change their order on screen you'd need to change unit ID. And that is not an easy job.



There is very very small chance Illwinter will do anything we suggest here. It is just next spam topic with wishful thinking, we had plenty of them already. And most of them would require serious rewriting of the code [so dom4, which ain't happening soon].

Festin:

Yomi should get a Demon Gate, smth like R'lyeh one, but well, with demons.

Now that's a nice idea. More summoning gates like R'lyehs but with different summons would be a great thing to see. It would be nice and thematic if LA Marignon had one, too.

An evangelist gate?


An unexpected event has occurred in Hybernia.

Tammy Faye Baker appeared and swallowed 20% of the inhabitants of the province. Most of the rest died of fright.

I also think it would be really useful to have an in-game troop/commander/province count for your nation. Probably in the Nation Overview screen. It would be much less mind-breaking than trying to count them all by hand and calculator on the occasion you might wish to I don't know about anyone else but there are times I find myself wishing I was playing sp games on the llamaserver to have more access to that sort of data.

Also, about Yomi- Being used to the idea of demons being associated with human sacrifices etc, it feels very weird that Yomi, the only actual nation of demons in the game, doesn't have any blood magic or demonic summons iirc. I suppose it's probably not as thematic with japanese mythology as it is with others, I admit I have a pretty poor knowledge of japanese mythology.

One thing that would be really nice is if the kuro-oni could be made sacred. They seem like they're supposed to be somewhat more 'special' than the other recruitable demons, and what would be a good bless for them is certainly not one of the more standard bless strategies. They would probably have to cost a little more, but I really think they would make for fun sacreds. Plus iirc the Jomonese nations never have a very good chassis for a bless strategy, so it would add more diversity to them .

Actually that data is available to you. The game creates it in the games save directory if you ask it. Just add the switch --scoredump to your desktop shortcut that opens Dom3 for you. If you want a ton more info (such as watching the AI think) then also add -d up to -dddddd for how much debug data you want written to a file.

Hmm, I'll give that a try. But I'm not 100% sure I understand the format. Do you mean it should look like this ("C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" --scoredump)?
