Afraid not. Apparently MODs can be swapped in and out during a game. Also, Im thinking maybe the map image file can. I might play with doing that so that a "message" to the player, or certain highlights, could be changed in mid-game
I have a couple of other newbie-tutor things in the works. A new Version of mini-map being done as a tutorial on mapping. And a "care package" for new players which will include a full set of premade gods, a started game, and a web-based walkthru. Whats done so far is scattered into a directory at http://www.dom2minions.com/starter/
Im also considering a Version of the web-game board being worked on here to run something of my own. Somewhere between the MP games its doing now, and the competition ladder done by battlesite. Mine will be an arcade ladder where everyone plays against the AI for the "top 10" score position in each Category. Not only would that be good for newbs but I think the data might be helpful to the devs.
