Just want to say, "Nice job". I can guess at how much time you expended.

Re: Dom3 DB: Full Version for Patch 3.08
 

This should be on strat wiki really. So we can all update it.

Re: Dom3 DB: Full Version for Patch 3.08
 

Not going to happen. I like to keep control of the DB so that there won't be a dozen different versions of it out there.

Re: Dom3 DB: Full Version for Patch 3.08
 

Heh heh. As long as there is "wiggle room" in that statement, Edi.

Re: Dom3 DB: Full Version for Patch 3.08
 

Um...what's a DB?

DB = database
 

...of unit properties, for instance.

Handy, because there's no other public compendium of the same information. On the other hand, if you're more of an explorer who doesn't want spoilers, don't read it. :p

Re: Dom3 DB: Full Version for Patch 3.08
 

DB is an acronym for database. Dom3DB is shorthand for Dominions 3 Database, which is the title of the compendium of units, weapons, armor, magic sites, population types, castles, items and what have you that are included in Dom3, all listed in a spreadsheet file.

The Dom3DB has its roots in its less illustrious predecessor, the Dom2DB, which I assembled because I needed unit lists for mapmaking and included the weapons and armor lists for good measure. It was rather popular with modders too, despite its numerous flaws. I knew I was going to want one for Dom3 as well, so that was the first thing I set out to do when I got my hands on the game, and because I knew it would see extensive use among modders and mapmakers here. I combined it with the originally separate magic site list which has even deeper roots in a document originally made for Dominions - Priests, Prophets and Pretenders and which was compiled by Sunray.

id# 389, Fire Lord, is listed without magic, but he has 2F.

Thanks. I'll rectify that when I get home. There might be other similar errors, so if you spot any, please tell me. I know there was in the 3.06 version with Kokythiad, Tomb Oracle and something else that I caught myself.
