I really like the idea of splinter provinces.
For the moment, just doing a quick scan of the posted provinces, and a few comments...
City of the Dead:
@4 commander
1438 --Ktonian Necromancer
#additem "Skull Staff"
1468 --Oracle of the Dead
#additem "Skull Staff"
181 --Wraith Lord
#additem "Wraith Sword"
#additem "Horror Helmet"
#additem "Winged Shoes"
1442 --Attendant of the Dead
Won't work.
Should be something like:
Code:
@4 commander
1438 --Ktonian Necromancer
1468 --Oracle of the Dead
181 --Wraith Lord
1442 --Attendant of the Dead
@3 additem
"Skull Staff"
"Skull Staff"
"Wraith Sword"
#additem "Horror Helmet"
#additem "Winged Shoes"
I think you were trying to say something like, "If Ktonian Necromancer, then give him a "Skull Staff", If an Oracle, give him a "Skull Staff", If a Wratih Lord, then give him a "Wraith Sword" & a "Horror Helmet" & "Winged Shoes", If an Attendant of the Dead, then don't give him anything. But instead you would get some weird map code like [#commander #additem "Wraith Sword"] which would (best case) cause the line to be ignored by Dom3, or (worst case) crash the game.
The solution that I proposed, would select one of the four commanders (randomly) and then select one of the three items listed (randomly) and then add the "Horror Helmet" & "Winged Shoes" for a result in the map file like:
Code:
#commander 181 --Wraith Lord
#additem "Skull Staff"
#additem "Horror Helmet"
#additem "Winged Shoes"
Btw, I really, really like the fact that you have taken advantage of the description field in the editor. Nice.
I am secretly crossing my fingers that the mighty Illwinter gods will bestow the gift of allowing descriptions as an option for provinces viewable in game prior to an assault upon the given province. Would be a fantastic addition for scenario type maps.
