Two-level randoms?

'Mod manual' means the modding.pdf in the doc folder.

Although what is better is Edit's unofficial modding manual, which I think you can find a link to in the signature of one of his posts.

Thanks for the correction.

Modding manual and map manual are the pdf files found in \doc. The paper manual doesn't have any details about modding, IIRC. I'm sorry if I caused any confusion.

How do you do the two level randoms that are not 50,51,52? There must be other combinations...

Nope, there are only those options. As I understand it, in Dominions2 the only randoms were elemental, sorcery or all. That's a very major improvement in Dom3 to my mind.

There's #magicskill, which allows for linked randoms via the Dom2 mechanic (50, 51 and 52), and then there's #custommagic, which allows for non-linked and less-than-100-percent randoms via the Dom3 mechanic (bytemasks for enabling paths in the random).

Johan and Kristoffer can do linked randoms via the Dom3 mechanic, but we can't duplicate it by modding.

Ive seen two-level randoms that only have two options (i think it was astral and earth). How was that done?

Was it a mod? If so, I haven't played it, but if someone can do a linked random I'd be interested to know it was done.

If not, "Johan and Kristoffer can do linked randoms via the Dom3 mechanic, but we can't duplicate it by modding."
