Default Re: Dominions 3 - FAQ

In Dom:PPP, the map consisted of pixels. There was a color for every type of terrain. The pixels changed colors under the effect of scales and dominion. Income, population and resources were counted from the pixels (at least initially, I don't know if they were totally recalculated every turn). Storing lots of pixels isn't very effective way of slowly changing the world, and those maps were ugly, and DomII has and DomIII will have terrain-spesific sites and events, and special effects for spells (Howl), and hopefully lots more... But still, it was nice to be able to know a Cold nation started in Britain and a hot one in Scandinavia when the map changed towards white and yellow accordingly.
