Dominion Score Chart
 

Anyone know how the dominion number that shows up in the score charts (and can be seen niftily in Llamaserver's game stats) calculated?

Thanks.

Straight count of candles, AFAIK.

I really doubt it.

IIRC, the Dominion score is (10+candles) for each province with your dominion. (I think I read that somewhere on these forums a long time ago.)

You mean like this?

The game itself creates that, in html (web format). You can even get it in games you run on your own machine by running the game with the --scoredump switch. Add it to your dom3 shortcut if you want your games to generate one each turn.

I also think I read somewhere that it's (10+candles) for provinces with your Dominion, as capnq says.

Thanks - just looking at one of my games, that formula seems to come close ( +/- a couple, which could just be me missing something), assuming that black candles count as a negative for provinces you own.

thanks Gandalf - I haven't played a game on your server so didn't know it could calculate the scores too. The --scoredump is a great tip for my own games. I am pretty technologically illiterate but assume that there is a way to add that to the run line in the shortcut properties on windows?

Any other recommended things people typically run while playing Dom?

Well when I right-click my desktop shortcut and click on "Properties" my run line shows up as this...
"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -fwacd --clickvol 10 --magicsites 65 --renaming --scoredump --indepstr 7 --hofsize 15 --eventrarity 1

(notice that the command switches are AFTER the second quote mark)
These switches read as...
-f no fade ins and fade outs
-w run in windowed mode
-a no animated backgrounds on menus
-c no end credits screen when I leave
-d turn on low level debug to a log file

-clickvol set the clicky volume lower

then various game settings that I got tired of changing for every game that I started on my machine. It still shows that screen so I can change them if I want for one game. But it sets the defaults more toward things I prefer, such as making the Hall of Heroes default to 15 intead of 10 and turning on renaming.

Here is a complete list of the switches.

I also have an icon that has these switches...
"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -fwacd --clickvol 10 --scoredump --statfile --preexec preexec.bat --postexec postexec.bat asdf

I often name my solo games "asdf" so this icon takes me directly into my latest game. The preexec.bat makes backups of each turn, and the postexec.bat makes a sound to let me know that the turn has processed. Since I play on mega maps (1500 provinces) with all the nations and many extra features it can take up to 10 minutes to process a turn in late game.
