....don't say that Helheim is late Vanheim?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Nope. Helheim is another early nation of the vanir race.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

What are all these "fatigue fixes" about?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Im guessing spell fatigue. That must be hard to tweak so that its a factor you need to pay attention to, but not a killer of mages or your heavy elite troops.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

They seem to have fixed 1100 'things'. I'm not sure if that can be anything other than units. Gandalf's quess of spells is more reasonable if there are that many spells, though.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Fatigue fix is now at 1500. It seems to me it means fixing something when fatigue reaches 1500.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

My guess is that units up to unitnumber 1500 have been reviewed w/r to fatigue.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Ugh - if they've had to fix something individually for 1500+ units that sure sounds tedious.

So, think twice before you next complain about micromanagement while *playing* the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I think IW has gone through the units many time. Age, bodyparts, fatigue etc.

Also, 0.10 versions or so to go.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

> Ugh - if they've had to fix something individually for 1500+ units that sure sounds tedious.

Indeed it is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Fortunately most units doesn't need a fix. Only 200 or so to go.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

What Magisters are?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Learned men, scholars, theologicans, mages of LA Man. Guys with white hair or wigs.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Late age man? So they are less mage and more scholar? And early age man is more shaman/mage and less scholar?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

The EA Man is probably celtic (the sidhe), MA Man would be Aurthurian, and LA could have the be-wigged Magistars, sea dogs singeing the beards of foreign kings in distant ports, cavaliers and pikemen, but hopefully not muskets & cannon.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

L.A. Man? That's nothing like Encino Man, I hope! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

MA Man, with a little letter-bending, becomes Middle Aged Men.
Can't wait to see a bunch of middle-aged men prancing about in armours and swinging PVC swords http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Woohoo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

How many nations are left to complete?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

None. There are some descriptions left, but all units are there. Some heroes might be added as well, but that is of secondary importance. All nations are now fully playable and finished.

In the first patch there might be a new nation or two , but those I have not started on (apart from thinking that is).

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

That's great news! Thanks Kris!

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Ooooh, sounds good.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I was wondering, why there were no improvements yesterday, but that explains everything.

No more beer for you until you're gold, OK?

Beer drives the whole process. Without beer, Dom3 would simply vanish in a puff of logic

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Hi!

How the new possibility of creating custom battefields can be used by scenario makers? Does a possibility exists to specify that a given region used battlefield xxx ? And does the doodads which are added can be more than roadblocks (trap, damage by fire, etc.)?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

No updates in five days...

/me removes hot brand from the coals of a highly stoked fire...

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

The wait for this game has been more painful than any game I've ever waited for. It's especially hard when days go by without any updates.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Oh well, life happens.
It has been known to get in the way of my virtual fun in the past

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Maybe we'll see...

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I'm getting by just fine... I recommend playing TitansQuest, SpellForce_2 and Civilizaton_4 until Dominions_3 arrives.
And of course Dominions_2... I always have a game or two going.

It's working for me.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I jsut want Dom3 and SE V to not come out at the same time.

Hmmm I still need to look into TitansQuest, and Oblivion also.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I definetely second you in this.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

If there are no major bugs left they could release it right now.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

No, they still need to add the Leech People. I expect them to be another Blood nation.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Leech People? Is this a joke or did you read it somewhere? I thought Kristoffer said that he has finalized the races for the release.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Oh cheese! That means more waiting time. I'm crazy enough already... They could add that in patch 3.01 or something. It's not that a new nation wouldn't be fun or anything, but for me the game is that what I'm waiting for. Thanks for Illwinter for all the work they have done.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

*Zen levitates smugly as he could expect this*

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I think that might have been a joke. Altho I do remember Kristoffer saying that the nations are set but he had some in mind already to add later. I dont remember if it was mod or patch. Knowing him, Im instantly real curious about who he has in running around in his mind. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

ummm... I noticed july12th is listed twice in the development list. Does a spell let you redo a turn/day?

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

And for me the new nations is what I'm anticipating most http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
My biggest beef with Dom2 is that I feel there isn't a nation that I can fully empathize with and enjoy their style of play. Therefore new nations are probably what will help rekindle the passion in the best way.
Atleast, that's me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

No it does not! Not without Dom3! And i expected by mid july! We're doomed! We're all doomed!
*breakes down in tears*

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

You could always make one for yourself. What style do you look for in a nation?
My question stands, if there are no major changes or bugs to be fixed then why dont they release it. Is it because they are waiting for version 3.00?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I honestly don't see how you could not find a nation that suits your style out of all the varied nations in Dom2.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

That's what I don't understand either. That's what I was getting at when I was trying to determine how they can arbitrarily decide on a target version number in advance.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Thats not unusual. Everyone does that. A full version change is a full number. There are unlimited unmbers in-between so they can have as many versions as they want until they feel its ready.

As for "not finding a nation" then maybe with over 60 nations there will be a better chance with Dom3. Or like someone said, make your own. Maybe a "Monty Haul" nation? All the pretenders that no one wanted have banded together to make their own nation? (Im kidding)

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

You got it the wrong way. If you have dom3, then you no longer have a life http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
