"mod" pretenders/nations set to AI after start ?

[Sombre]

Modding is actually a lot of fun, although it can be quite frustrating. Dom3 is remarkably easy to mod for and a lot of the time the only limit really is your imagination.

I suggest you try out some things on the modlist, get a feel of what's already out there and then,.. well personally I think a great way to learn modding is to make a replacement nation - it doesn't /need/ to have any new artwork and you can make something other people will enjoy.

Marignon reborn is a good example.

There's a modding manual which is 95% helpful included in your install of Dom3 in the docs folder. You can also glean a lot from rooting around in other people's .dm files. Amos' blood elves .dm file actually taught me as much as the manual did.
