Wishlist: Role Playing Mod

[Dogboy]

I'm not familiar with command line options. Is there a way to play "co-op" so players can help one another?

Not built into the game. You can do things like trade units (by using the Charm or Hellbind spells). Or use a castle to be able to move thru each others territory. But generally this game does not support team play. Co-op play is just coordinating who attacks what.

Their newer game Conquest of Elysium 3 does.

Sorry, Gandalf, but I don't see anything in the Dom 3 manual that refers to command line options. If you have a moment, could you point me in the right direction? Curious to know how I could set up something like I described above (or some approximation of that) using them.
Thank you,

It wouldnt be command line. It would be editing a map.

In the /dominions3/docs/ directory should be a pdf for modding, and one for mapping. If not then you can download it from the Illwinter.com website.

A short quicklist of the map commands is here....

the longer explanations of each of those is in the map editing manual

If you ARE interested in command line stuff (mostly changing defaults) then here is a quicklist of those
http://www.dom3minions.com/docs/CommandLine.txt

there is a thread on "Changing Defaults" that talks about some uses of those.
