A post from Gandalf on Usenet made me discover that there were sample gods for DomI on Illwinter's site. Strangely, there was no link to download the god files, only pictures of the Gods' stats (without fortress info) and some background and playing tips. While I cannot understand why sample gods (together with some tips) were not included in either the DomI or DomII demos, I'd like to make it easier for new players to get into this game...
So I copied the gods into DomII - at least for the nations that are available in the demo, and saved the files. I'll email the files to anybody who asks... (If someone with Web space wants to store the files, it'd be even better)

How to copy God files?
You should have a dominions2/newlords directory somewhere in your install (or, on my Linux install, in your home directory); this is where files for new Gods are stored. Copy the file there, under the name "nation".2h [the exact file name depends on the nation; just create any god for the nation to see the exact file name]. If you already have a God for that nation that you want to keep, just rename the file or it will be overwritten (stupid feature!).
Where are the originals?

Are they any good?
I don't know. Never played them. I'm a beginner myself. Plus, I had to make guesses for fortresses and special dominions. They're just possible examples. The playing tips on the Illwinter site should be somewhat useful, at least.
How do I get them?
Send me a message on this board with your real email address. They're pretty small files (well under a Kb each).
