My God! This is a guide!

But why on earth did you write a guide on a mod nation (although a good one) seldom used?

I am not exactly certain why this thread is in this forum. People who are not open to mods will not look at this anyway, and those who are open to mods have their own subforum. If the multiplayer aspect is an issue, certainly it should go into the multiplayer subforum?

Amhazair wrote, and I quote

I've decided to write up this guide for two reasons. One is to encourage people to try out this excellent mod, and to help them get started if they want to give it a shot. Second is that it is now starting to appear in MP games, and people facing it for the first time might find it useful to have an idea what to expect.

VedalkenBear:

Multiplayer and AARs
Ongoing Dominions 3 game sessions (MP), After Action Reports (AAR's) and Opponents Wanted.
Scenarios, Maps and Mods
Scenarios, Maps and Modifications for Domions 3: The Awakening

Strategy guides aren't ongoing games, AARs or about finding opponents.

Strategy guides aren't scenarios, maps or mods.

As such, this is the only place this should be in. Balance discussion happens here, but a mod fixing the issue goes into modding forum. See how the Djinnibad and Ermor switcheroo threads were started here, discussed, and moved away once the actual work started. Strategy discussions even about mod nations should be here, IMO, while discussion about changing the mod some way or another should go into the modding subforum.

What you said Endoprez, thanks for saving me some typing.

I think I typed enough for one day...

Thanks for writing this Amhazair! I've just begun experimenting with Arga again after reading it through.

Well, hurray, glad to pass on some of my inspiration

I've downloaded and looked at a couple of other mod nations, though I haven't played any of the others (I've largely given up on SP, so I have to wait till one of them is available in a MP game. And there are more than enough vanilla nations I still need to try too.

However, though all the other mod nations I looked at look solid and well done, for some reason Arga Dis tickles my imagination the most. Something in the combination of graphics, background and playstyle just pulled me into playing them. And now that review had been writing itself in my head for several days now, without any active involvement on my part. And last night it decided to steal my body away from me to put itself on paper. I really had no say in the matter. Took him all bloody night too! I should have been sleaping, but instead... It's demonic possession I say!

Lucky I have the weak off, 'cause else...
