RE: where stuff goes on a mac:

Maps are stored in the application package: ctrl-click on the application itself, select "show package contents", maps are in the folder Contents/Resources/Maps.

Mods are stored in the folder dominions3/mods in the OSX home or user directory.

Savegames are also in the user directory

I've read the manual backwards and forwards - hell I've fallen asleep reading it.

Its dogeared, and tagged each in relevent sections. I've read the FAQ, the Strategy guides, the db. I've read the mods, the unit db. I've played way north of 500 games of dominions. I've spent *weeks* trying to figure out why a mod doesn't work.

And I still find out something new every week. Like ritual of returning working in the capital province.

The section on installing and enabling mods updated and separated from installing map question.

Also added a question on where to find the modding and mapmaking guides.

Added Burnsaber's sprite editing tutorial to the FAQ in the modding & sprites section.

It's been three years since this thread has had a post in it, so high time. I added a new post to the FAQ thread that deals with the Fire and Death bless weapons, Flaming Arrows spell and spells vs spell effects and why things don't always stack.

Highly recommended reading, since those questions pop up with surprising regularity and there is quite a bit of misinformation floating around about them.
