Default Re: Dominions 3000 (tentative name)

There is another thing I'd like to discuss though.
The dom 3.20 has water, forest and plain shape.

shape changing could be nice for getting pplz into space.. but IMHO water still presents with too much problems (no flying in water, no shooting in water, no more than 1 map move in water) so I think it's still not a good idea to use water as space..

on the otherhand IF we want other forms for space (which might be a nice idea and could give us further options to make spaceships different from ground troops (useable in both space and ground while troops would generally be less effective in space) then we could use plain or forest shape. make all space either plain or forest and we have a lot of options with this.

Sure you can't make troops amphibious or aquatic.. but you could certainly make the forest shape weaker if the troops needed to be ineffective in space OR the regular form weaker if a space ship shoulnd't be as effective on land.


I want to know you guys think since it'll be quite some work if I need to adept the current mod to this. So I'd like all those working on this or interested in it to share their opinion.

Personally the mod as it is now works for me too. Space combat is the same as planet combat (but the background can't be changed anyway) but I just made all space province have less troops and have spacy recruitables.
