A newbie asks...

Jon,

Welcome to Dominions!

1. The map generation in Dominions is completely processor based. If you have a multicore processor, it will only use one core, and it is uses as much of the processor as it can get it's hands on. Same thing for turn generation.

2. I don't think this is possible. I have always used the arrow keys.

3. Most spells have limited range. You can position your mages closer to the front to cast certain spells, just be aware that it leaves them exposed to enemy magic, flanking and arrows. You can script a mage to attack for a round to move closer to the front line as well. You can also script certain spells towards the end of your script so they fire off when the enemy closes in with your army.

Goodluck!
