The zip attachement? A zip program.
Or you can just open NotePad or some other text editor, cut-n-paste those three lines into it, and save it to your dominions3/mods directory with a name like blank.dm

I meant the file itself. It appears that Notepad works.

So how do I actually change stats?

As a huge favor, could you simply write me a example of a dm file that only changes the Pegasus Rider cost from 125 to 100?

I will figure things out from there. Thanks so much in advance.
