Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

OK this is only for those interested in the dominions 3000 thread.

As I announced I think it's best to start with humans (and I chose Ulm) in space

(and Agartha would be my 2nd choice.. cyclops in space.. sort of original at least)

EDIT: I just realized this wasn't the same thread. D'oh!

But anyways, great mod Aezeal!

I think a lovecraft nation will be to weird to really start figuring out how this should work.. or if it's not your not giving it enough love http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Since I've had my first order for Dom 3000, but no specifics that I've noticed on what to draw, here's a couple of rough Ulm space soldier types (and remember what I said about not expecting art):

1: Classic space legionairre

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

2: Ulm space soldier, same weapon.

All the attachments should now be active-give me a list of what you want, unit-wise, and I'll see what else I can come up with http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

DL the txt file I made.. you can see what sort of units I made so far http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

I can't download anything, just write a list and put it in a reply on here.

You know Badger, if you just click on that Attachment, it opens the text in your browser, you don't actually "download" anything per se.

Can't take that risk, I've got a wife and a mortgage <3

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Honestly, if you just left-click, it can't do anything outside of your browser. The worst that happens is it pops up a "where do you want to DL this file?" dialog, no? But it won't, because it just opens the text right in the same browser window.

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Basicly it's sort of Ulm as WH 40K spacemarines.. sortofish

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

question: can you give recruitable or summons magic items (out of the box?) not weapons but misc items?

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

You can give them some of the effects of the items (like Luck), but not actual slotted items, as far as I know. If you were really determined to simulate it to the best of your ability you could just give the unit the effect and remove whatever slot(s) it's supposed to take up. I'd guess this is to prevent people from summoning Banes and selling the blades to the highest bidder.

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

I want spaceships to have whatever effect the flying ship has so it can carry others.

can this be done?

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

No. If you can find a unit with that power, you can #copystats it. But I don't think there is one.

Sailing may well be the best you can do.

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

that will make the idea of transport ships impossible to carry out unless it's all sailing and that will have limits on mapmaking since everything needs to be within one space square of something else.

On the other hand you could give regular commanders no amphibious option and make spaceships aquatic or amphibious. That would mean regular commander would need a magic item to cross space though (like they are not able to fly in the troop carriers.. a bit weird)
Also if you make the carriers amph and not aquatic that would then totally make land commanders obsolete since spaceships would be much more flexible.

If you make land commanders land only and ships water only you'd need another option to get the damn soldiers from their generals to the ships (and get the generals to cross space somehow) and do the same in reverse on the planet you want to invade... which seems difficult too.

PS I hope to have a workable space game up this hours.. I've only modded sporadically so could be that due to me [censored] up it'll not work the next year though.

Else you'll be able to fight ulm with ulm rebels (identical) on my ugly space map (which will be totally not polished just connections made in the editor (which sucks)

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Ok, here's the Ulm black knight.

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

and the Blood Knight, in attack mode

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

no offence but if you'd DL the mod (other thread..) then you'd see I already stole some sprites

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Blood Knight, regular mode

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Black Knight regular mode

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

Aren't you having problems with the stolen sprites?

And it's always nicer to have legitimate sprites, rather than stolen ones, don't you think?

Re: Dominions 3000: Ulm in space
 

well it;s allowed to use them from that site http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
