Getting my butt handed to me playing the demo!!!!

I lost recently to the AI when I was playing as machaka with a turmoil luck build. I just had terrible events, unlucky battles and then a big marignon army of cavalry showed up and blasted through my provinces one by one as ctisian dominion swept over me. Nasty. I can usually thrash several impossible AIs at once, but anyone can get caught out every now and then.

Welcome aboard, Candew.

All that has been said before is TRUE !!!
You'll soon become a nolife ... Too bad for you ...

You have make the RIGHT joice ! This is the best game ever, and I am a kind of gamer, believe me !
Since I have it, I almost only play it, and nothing else (with VERY few exceptions, to be honest).
And it is more than 18 months ago !!!

So, say farewell to your friends, your family, your pet, your job, the society in general, and BECOME A GOD TO DOMINATE OTHERS !!! (Wel, at least virtually

)

A good mod for a new player is my Beowulf mod. It buffs MA Man by giving them a hero to start the game. It also removes old age from their crones, resulting in less micromanagement for new players.

Man is a good race to learn the game with as it has a good mix of infantry, cavalry, bowmen, and base evocation magic.

just download it and extract it to dom III/mods folder. then when you start up the game, select preferences and enable the mod, then play ma man and you should give the AI a good battle!

Thanks Xietor,

Now that I have my full copy in hand, I look forward to trying out the many modded races, maps, etc.

Is there any website or post that rates the various mods (maps, new races, etc.)?

Look at the "Mod List" thread, pinned in the Mods&c forum.
Also have a look at the Strategy Index :

A lot of usefull inspiration here. Although I confess making noobs errors is part of the fun. After all, why would you trust those guys writing guides since they are potential ennemies ?
