AllView is a game created by a short program. Basically it counted from 1 to 1010 and created a #commander and #commname assigning it to a province which one nation owned. So one province ended up with 1010 units which started out with the commander numbered 1, who was named "1". This way you "play" that game and you can view everything in in the game and see what number its assigned.

I'm not too intersted in making entire new units as some people seem to be...I feel there are more then enough (something like 6000?) already in the game. I'm mostly interested in editing existing units into something I could use for my little scenarios I like to make...

Actually I think thats what most are planning to some extent. As you say there are plenty already. Some might just edit some stats, some might make some small change to the image, some might give it a new name. But I dont think too many lan to make completely new units from scratch. Except maybe this guy http://www.geocities.com/fmunoz_/dominions/index.html

For example...one Dom1 thing I made involved 2 small island nations I made, one Ermor and the other Marigon.

The Ermor one was led by a dracolich while the Marigon a red dragon. However I wanted both of them to be immortal which is something I could not do without making a new unit. For 1. you can not make edited dragons (capable of transforming) in dom1, and 2. Even if I could that would require me to get the sprites of the great sage, bog mummy, dracolich, and red dragon..for their attack and still frames, that would be 8 captures...way too much of a pain for someone like me who just likes to make stupid little scenarios over and over.

We dont know yet how the modding works. I dont know if you can specify the number of a creature already in the game and must list the things you want to change. Do the other stats default to something? Do they stay the same as what that monster is except for the changes you put in? That might be nice but I dont know if its going to work that way or not.
