Hmmmmm it could be done but would be alot of work. You would have to mod a race to completely replace everything with another races stuff. Interesting thought.

Maybe it should be a matter of {copy&paste}+modding details (banners, names,...)

Cut & Paste, yes. But you would have to create one first. At the moment there really isnt anything to cut and paste from.

Create a text file with all the commands needed to create an "Ulm" just like the Ulm in the game. Then cut&paste it a bunch of times modifying each one for the unit numbers you would be replacing. Mans units numbers, then Abysias unit numbers etc etc.

As far as I know there is no simple #replace command to swap man units with ulm units. You would need to "create" the ulm units from scratch.

You could actually get started on that now if you wanted to. There are examples and some docs on the subject even if you would have to wait until the patch in order to test anything

Where are such docs? The mods for 2.05 Version in illwinter site?

Yes there were docs for modifying monsters in the game for dom1 but as far as I know it was never done by anyone. Download one of the completed MOD files from here and look at how it was done (its all .tga paint files or .dm text files)

When you see that then go to the monster edit doc file from the old dominions game to see what other commands you have available.

There are probably new ones added and no doc yet but you can always guess, and then its there for you to go back to when you get the new info. As I said, there is enough there that you can get started on it. Screen-capturing images you might need, making small changes to them such as maybe a slight color change, making notes and listing all the commands to change all the stats you will need.
