Any idea in how to do this mod-wise? I´m a little weak in the modding part of Dominions, but would like to try a mod like this against the AI... and would it be possible to do it in Dom2 too? (my notebook only handles Dom2 - weak processor).
Download the Debug mod from the mod forums and remove the spells to summon the Debug Sensei. I've considered playing this way in SP too, because I think a large part of the AI's weakness is that it tends to be at e.g. Conj-9, Ench-4, EverythingElse-0 when I'm at Alt-8 Conj-6 Thaum-4 Ench-3 Evoc-7. Also, I like the idea thematically (powerful pretender mages SHOULD already know spells) and it might give me an incentive to take an Awake pretender for once. However, removing research from the game will also radically change the way the game is played, so I haven't ever tried it yet.
