Dominions 3000 (name confirmed!)

[Aezeal]

OK I'm totally fed up with the no flying and no shooting in space we currently have.

screw water provinces.

Since I seem the one most active with dom 3000 atm I'm making a (temporary) change in mechanics.

(temporary since I do hope to get either watershape and the command to use ranged weapons in water and flying could be simulated by AP 100 or 1000 OR get air/space province which would totally rock)

No more water provinces, planets get a land type and space just gets to be "unidentied land" or whatever it should be called.

this is in no way a setback since atm I alreay had to make about every troop amph/aquatic or poor amph (having some troops be poor amph was sort of nice since it represents the dangling in space without a clue.)

Besides that the only thing we loose is that now I was able to create troops that couldn't go into space.

Just making everything land will let all troops go everywhere, and use their weapons everywhere --> a good thing I think.

I think I will mod all waterprovince on my maps down to about 2K inhabitants living in spacestations or something.

If anybody has better idea's to solve the numerous problems water provinces bring us I'd love to hear them though.

Also if pplz want to help I'd love to get some help with new nations

Who started this dom 3000 idea anyway ???

How about a nice mod option (please, devs?) to create whatever set of "ages" we want? You could have LOTR Middle Earth ages, some weird age mod where everything is set in space, and provinces are really planets, or whatever you dream up.

OMG I want to do a space battle game. I may just have to learn how to mod now, that seems so exciting.


So I'm sharing credit with Tifone for the inspiration (post Nuclear apocalypse/mechs) and Jim (Space battles-OMG!) for the enthusiasm


I'm trying to come up with a Space Kraken nation, but I haven't decided if that'll actually work out or not...

I also want to see something based on Barsoom/John Carter of Mars.

War of the Worlds is another obvious nation inspirer.

Daleks belong in the game, especially since they've got a Dalek Emperor now, for a Pretender.

Maybe something like a cross between C'Tis and the Egyptian badguys in StarGate?

I'd love to see the Necrontyr, Tyranids, and Tao from WH40k

And I want to see a really strong (as in well-balanced, interesting, easy to play, and good looking) crystal species in the game.

Space Kraken (modified internet image):

I noticed that the d3k map/mod didn't have a banner, so I created one.

Devs, can I state for the record that it's silly for the game to require targa images for some modding purposes, but the forum won't let us upload targa files (.tga)?

[Aezeal]

so you dl'd it any feedback btw?

[Psientist]

No feedback yet - tried to set it up, but it lacked a readme, and I didn't see which nations I was supposed to use (I picked MA ulm vs Ryleh, but it didn't look right). I haven't had the time to look at the forums or try again. I realize this is all my stupids, it's probably obvious, but haven't really had time to check it out yet.
