What does that even mean? You've never been in the irc channel so what would you even know about "irc people"?

Hey Gandalf, about that idea you have...

Is it possible to enter a NEW nation during MP and give it troops?

I'd love to have a pre set (and known by all players) special province on a dom 3 (K) map which they can just conquer and get an above average income (high pop) and gems (say 6) income from but where a very very strong race could spawn which would then be a focus for all players to destroy (I'd put it in the middle of the map and all players somewhat around it)

I don't think it can be done but if there are idea's I'd love it.

All map commands won't work I guess so placing them that way won't work (since if I got it correct the map is read at start of the game and then forgotten)
And I don't know a way to enter new nations through mod commands.

To avoid hijacking this thread I will answer a short "Yes"
then answer further in one of my threads.

Of course I have. And I know that some of the most expert players hang out there. Im thinking some might feel that a higher level game would be available to them if they play the "Sauron" to the entire massed armies of "Middle Earth", so to speak. One expert vs all comers?

Or better yet maybe the entire IRC channel could share the planning and strategy in-channel as a channel project. Anything that might make an alliance of players more than just an option. Make it a necessity.

It was just a suggestion.

I know that the IRC channel seems to be a pet peeve of yours for some reason, but honestly trying to get it to make a combined effort for doing something is highly improbable. Metaphorically speaking, it's like raising a litter of kittens, at best. The idea that there's some body that can be motivated to act together apart from independent actions is pretty alien to reality. I think that not long ago you wrote that the IRC channel suffers from lack of activity and "zombies", too, so it's surprising that said zombies should suddenly develop high activity for something?

Trying to get "the IRC people" to do something, just by coming up with some random idea and then telling the monkey to carry through with it seems a little feeble, too. To throw the ball back, "they" might ask you to carry through with your random proposals and see through that they are viable and being realized yourself... like Sombre occasionally tends to do for the usual suspects that post their brainfarts here and then leave it up to others to pick up the pieces and actually do something with them.

lets get back to the vampires and if this needs to be continued do it in Gandalfs thread.

I'm trying to find an excuse for vampires in space.. but it's hard (space helmets would be terribly annoying for biting someone in the neck.. both for the vampire as the attackee) .. so I'm dropping it... for now

"Let's get back to this thread and talk about my own Dom3k mod some more", yeah, got it.

[einenarre]

I get the error "name2spell: no such spell!" when I try to start a game with this mod active.

[Amos]

All of the spells in the mod were tested and tested again. Are you sure thats the only mod you are starting with?

I'll test the spells again of course in case a mistake was made while updating.

[llamabeast]

Yeah, they scared me sufficiently that I avoided fair fights with you while crushing your dominion. So I guess they were pretty effective (in fair fights I would have been in real trouble) but not uncounterable, which I think is good.
