Default Re: Modding Question

Please forgive this obviously dumb question, but what files are moddable in Dominions 2, and how do I open them, mod them, and save them so that they work?
Already?
Maps can be full scenarios. MODs can do units, pretenders, and nations.

Feel free to make a copy of any .dm (mod file) or .map (map file) and start messing with them. They are basic ascii files. The images for both are .tga graphics. There are also some background screens that can be changed to do a theme/skins thing.

New mod commands show up with every patch so far. And patches show up every couple of months
