That's not really fair. The standard for multiplayer games will always be the vanilla game, which is why it is important for the official Version to be well-balanced, and mod tools should never be relied upon. Even if there was a PERFECT mod that everyone who played agreed was absolute perfection, most people would still play the original. Unless you want to play a specific mod, I don't think the presence of mods will ever make it dfficult for you to start or join a game.

Since the majority of Dominions-playing is offline, though, mods would not cause any conflict in most games=)

P.S. The lack of response in the MP thread may be partly due to people lacking the full game. I don't have the game yet, for example.

Truper:
My thougths exactly. IMO the developpers should fix the "blazing red issues". I was also happy with Illwinter as final arbiter of what does or doesn't belong in Dominions. Personaly, the idea of a tolkien mod just disgusts me, even if nobody forces me to play it.

But you ppl can do WE you wan't. I'm not forced to touch your mods.

My plans to build a Middle Earth/Tolkien mod for Dom disgust you

- perhaps you might have been better to keep that to yourself?

Do me a favour and don't bother to explain why.

Come now! No need for people to start throwing around comments like that. The beauty of a mod is you are not forced to play it, know it exists, let it have sex with your wife or eat cornflakes!

I would hope that the Mod's don't become standard but an added flavor to change and diversify the game if (and I highly doubt any time soon) the game becomes stale or the balance an issue.

The only real issue I see, is that in the age of "Modding" people want to play a certain way or with a race and once they recieve the tools *They* won't play any other way since they know the ins and outs of it and they are more likely to win. That isn't saying that everyone that mods, does this. But it's the general theme.

If a Mod ever becomes standard in MP or SP and the features raved about. That simply clues the Developers into what the community desires.

Don't rip on those Modheads any more than people should rip on SPers or PvPers. Everyone is different, at least until the Inquisition comes.

My happy-happy thread has become polluted with meanness

Maybe if I mention the new "Lions and Lambs" Pangea theme, where cute forest animals unite to spread a dominion of love, the unhappy people will become smiley?

Sorry to be a cynic but wouldn't the Lions eat the Lambs?

So instead of blood slaves Lions would carry around pet lambs and eat them at the start of the battle to get bonuses.

Don't worry, be happy . . .
