I suspect the next release will still have several broken modding commands. We seem to be a low priority.

True... #startspell worked within DOM_2 and was great for making an AI opponent intensely more challenging. For example you could select an AI opponent which doesn't use blood magic, then give them a non_moving blood caster, magic site(s) with blood income and specific blood spells. As long as the AI nation had death magic it would be marching armies of demon knights or whatever two or three blood spells you provided.

Funny I always thought that Johan loved modders. Seemed like they always got the most changes. I had to fight for map and server commands. But there might be a lag in modder beta-testers.

Well, if they're needing Modding testers, you know where to find us.

Hmm, that might actually be a good idea. There is not very much attention to modding in the beta. I think JK is quite fond of adding modding tools. Adding more modding tools is also a good way to keep dominions interesting when we are preoccupied with other matters.

I've long since lost all knowledge of what is moddable and not.

[Gandalf Parker]

Its hard to find people who will mod for years and years every time a patch comes out.
We had modders in the beta group but we wore them out.

[VedalkenBear]

I think that's another sign that you should rotate them out. I mean, that's what you do to high-wear parts, right?

[Gandalf Parker]

Well its not like any old volunteer can jump in.
But it might be a good time to look at the posts of some of the modders.

I completely agree!
The beta testers should be judged on their performance of finding bugs... the worst performers should be dropped and replaced.
