Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]

MStavros · #1 September 25th, 2003, 04:13 PM

Hey there,

I bought Dominions I. I love the game. I know that Dominions II. will be even better, but the truth is that I never liked the races. That is why I will wait until a modding tool/editor will be released. I really want to make my own mod, and play with that.
If I must wait months, I will wait months. If there won't be a modding tool available, I won't buy the game. [Or editable database files etc.]
There will be lot of improvements in Dominions II., but it is not enough for me. I thought that Dominions II. will be moddable after the release, Illwinter should make it like that, if you ask me.
Yes not everyone can be bothered by modding, but lot of players are love to mod. There are lot of games with awesome mods, and those mods are lot better than the normal game setups.

The War engine and the RPG Maker are totally different than Dominions, I have no idea, that why did you mentioned those.

Regards,
M.S.

Why, what is Dom II lacking? Orcs, Elves, Mini-Barneys, what?
Why did i TWE and RPGMaker?
"Too Total ConVersion Mods", as i and my friends call them...

Sorry for misunderstanding you, Johan. I hope you guys will be able to do it.

Personally I would never create a mod, but I do like 'em. And it really helps to attract more people to the game, which is a very good thing.

I realy see no need for Dom II mods. I mean, you can play Demon worshipping Marignon and Vanheim has a theme with a commander that's name can be translated as "Lord/King of The Hanged Ones" ...
Hello, it's DEMON WORSHIPPING MARIGNON and "LORD OF THE HANGED ONES"....
Oh yeah, there's Last of the Tuatha for Man...

No problem, I just didnt want people to have expectations that weren't deliveredso I thought it was better to clarify.

Exactly. + Lot of fans are buying games mainly because of the editor/mod tools.
I bet that Doms II. will be very good without a modding tool, but as I said it is not enough. All of hte major games are supplied with a proper editor/modding tool.
I can't be bothered that much as I said. If the tool will be released I will order the game asap. Until than I play with Dom I.

Well, I think that it would be a great addition to be able to mod...we shall see that they will add this feature in a patch or not.
Hopefully they will.
