1. Is there a possibility to edit the dominion files? Like changing the icons of the gems or some strings. EDIT: ok, i found that the strings are hard coded into the dom3.exe and they are easily editable but how can I access the images?

Sorry, don't know the anwser for this one.

There is a way to do this. Let's you want to make a unit X with propethform Y and there is a vanilla unit A with propethform B.

You use the #selectmonster command to overwrite vanilla unit A into X. Then you just use the same trick to make B into Y. After that, make a completely new monster that copies the orginal monster A and give it to the appropiate vanilla nation with mod commands.

This will mean that the vanilla monster will lose its propethform, but some of the vanilla forms are pretty rebundant (like the one the Abyssian Warlord gets). This is the only way I know of to make a unit with propethform.
