Default Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)

... you do not have to turn on a mod to play your turn.
Anytime Dom3 receives a turn it will automatically turn on any mod needed as long as that mod is in your mod directory. And automatically turn it off again when you finish.

You only need to turn on a mod (enable) to START a game with that mod. Such as a solo game or one you are hosting. OR to create a god using that mod so you can upload it to a game using that mod. But once the game is started you do not need to re-enable the mod to do your turn.

It is also possible (now, since the command was recently fixed) to create a desktop link which loads dom3 with a mod enabled. That way you can have two links for dom3. One which runs dom3 with the mod, and one that runs without the mod.
