Plus I would love a LOTR scenario .

you are moving on a dangerous ground there To mod Dominions significatively, you have to modify the exe (lets call this hack it ...), then distribute it to the players playing the mod.

An alternate solution would be to made an application like the SE IV launcher, which is launched before the binary, alter it as the modder wanted, then run the game. On quiting it, the app restore the backup of the game. Still it smells bad, it smells of copyright violation. But it is up to you to decide, and up to Illwinter I suppose (I dont think they abandoned all rights on their binary).
