Um...what's a DB?

DB is an acronym for database. Dom3DB is shorthand for Dominions 3 Database, which is the title of the compendium of units, weapons, armor, magic sites, population types, castles, items and what have you that are included in Dom3, all listed in a spreadsheet file.
The Dom3DB has its roots in its less illustrious predecessor, the Dom2DB, which I assembled because I needed unit lists for mapmaking and included the weapons and armor lists for good measure. It was rather popular with modders too, despite its numerous flaws. I knew I was going to want one for Dom3 as well, so that was the first thing I set out to do when I got my hands on the game, and because I knew it would see extensive use among modders and mapmakers here. I combined it with the originally separate magic site list which has even deeper roots in a document originally made for Dominions - Priests, Prophets and Pretenders and which was compiled by Sunray.
