Yep really. The only thing is you must quit dominions entirely for changes to take effect. I assume dominions reads/checks the mod files on load-up only. Of course the game has to be created/started with the mod file enabled.
Hmmmm I will have to look at MODs again sometime. Most of my regrets are based on MAP commands which I play with more. I regretted not being able to change the game thats running based on triggers in the game. Triggers such as the game hitting turn #10 or turn #100, or having a certain player hit a certain number of provinces, or even randomly deciding its the "Season of Dragons" which will run until it randomly decides its that its not anymore. Or "Season of Vampires" or "Season of Trolls" or whatever.

If a MOD can be changed easily by a program (already verified) and the program can do random decisions (my specialty) or based on triggers (all the above are available) and a changed mod will take effect in an already ongoing game (as you say) then WHOOPEEE someone has turned me loose again! (althought I fully expect Leif to beat me to it)

The mentioned triggers are all now available for outside programs to process but didnt do me much good for maps since only graphic changes affect ongoing games in MAPs.
