Default Re: design just ONE province

Time for a
We now have online games running which automatically incorporates the SemiRandom program.
http://www.dom3minions.com/HostedGames.htm
And I would like to also incorporate the SemiRandom feature of giving the AIs logical gods/scales.

We need more provinces. More variety.

And more gods. At the moment we have A GOD for each of the middle era nations. But we need early and late nations, and some variety in the middle era.

Not that I want to toot my own horn, but all the .GOD files I submitted were for late age, and so I believe there should now be at least 2 for each nation in LA. Of course, you may have opted not to use one or another set (one set was "purchasable" at the vanilla point cost, if Imprisoned, whereas the other set was not.)

More would be definitely be better though :-)

Sorry Stavis. I thought I had all the add-on zips.
But you are right, we can always use more. However if you did 2 for each LA nation, and we have 1 for each MA nation, then it appears we need mostly EA gods.

Also I want to make the point that we have many "killer" provinces. IMHO we need to water down the mix abit with just some interesting and logical ones. Same point I guess for the gods. Do not be afraid to turn in a god build because you dont think its a killer god. As long as its better than a purely randomly created god then it will be good to add in. I feel we mostly need variety.

It wouldnt be a bad idea to have each nation-guide represented. Those who did guides, and those who have favorite guides, should make an effort to see that its god/scales are included.
