Wishlist: Modding shortlist

[Burnsaber]

Just thought of this. Would be a cool way to introduce nation in a deeper level to the game.

Mercenary Modding

#addgroup - adds new group of mercenaries
#name "name" - declares the name of the group
#leader [mon nmbr] - declares who commands the mercenaries
#troops [amount] [mon nmbr] - first number declares how many troops and the other what the monsters are
#startcost [amount] - How much money will they ask when they are available.
#end - always at the end of #addgroup

Good idea, Burnsaber.
We would probably also want #leadername. Might also be good to specify magic paths (and maybe even magic items) for the leader.

EricM used a similar modding-inspired way to present his data on mercs, here:

No, you can't use those modding commands.

And most stuff in Dom3 is hardcoded instead of being read from some table, so it's hard to make it accessible to modding. There still isn't much that you can do with spell modding, for example, because it's mostly hardcoded.
