I have a challenge. Create a menu driven system.

But seriously, "try to win" scenario's sound fun.

You mean something like this?
http://www.dom3minions.com/lab/MakeGame.htm
You can search and see that was one of the original ones. Even before LLamaServer existed. In fact it was one of the example scripts given to LLama when he first started the conversation about a server.

Something with a goal would probably be best.
I did a Dom2 scenario called "D.A.R.E (Deadly Atlantis Rlyeh Emor alliance)" which challenged all the players to ally and take out a heavily fortified and boosted AI alliance. Ermor was down in a corner on a large island surrounded by water. Atlantis and Rlyeh had the watery moat ocean surrounding it. They were all allied not to attack each other. And they had multiple castles, extra magic sites, extra starting armies. Not to mention designed pretenders and logical scales. The 3 of them owned that entire corner of the map. The 3 pretenders were "Siblings who have decided to stack the search for a new Pantokrator by teaming up until everyone else was gone."

Such scenarios are no longer downloadable/playable in Dom3 the way they were in Dom2. But they can be run on a server. And it would be easy to "see" the goal being reached. Such as taking the main castle of Ermor in the game log.

Scenario games with Dom3 can only be setup effectively as server games. But we can use more of those.

Maybe this will help BROWSE THE NATIONS MODS
http://www.llamaserver.net/globu/Dom...ations_EA.html

It doesnt have everything. Some of my favorites (and of course all of mine) do not seem to be there. But it is a fantastic community service. Looking thru some of those might make a scenario storyline come to mind

Well, which ones are your favorites? As far as I can recall, globu had put up pretty near every single nation mod made for dominions 3. As well as pretty much every miscellaneous mod I can think of. In fact there's a few up there that are so old, I didn't know they existed until he posted them. Did you check the miscellaneous section? There are some mods in there that could maybe be what you're thinking of.
