Mod: Dominions 3000 v0.81 - lots of new indies, new map (using the brand new map commands)

[Aezeal]

The no AP attack on basic drones was intented ( I created the AP claw specifically for the other troops), they are just chaff IMHO.. if the race is balanced without the soldiers being good ranged troops then I'm not changing it.. the race doesn't need to have much ranged attack.

I have no direct clue what corrosion does to be honest.. I hope it breaks down armor though

PS if you put the Soldiers in the front line shooting they will end up in melee soon enough.

You may want to try my "Travelers" and "New Crobuzon" mods. Travelers have mecha like armor, while New Crobuzon uses steam armor and guns.

[Aezeal]

Hmm Well I guess travelers will still be different from my Jomon so I'll have a look at them later. I'll also look at New Crobuzon but that sounds more like 19th century than sci-fi .

I'm busy with Commonwealth now though so the rest will have to wait. Spend hours modding your old sprites into spaceforms (Once I knew what I wanted it went fast but that took me a while) Now I'm doing the code and I'll need to mod a lot (modding spaceforms is a pretty boring job, creating the units all together is nicer, but I'm not gonna just use your pics, must remain mostly your mod --> the idea and the stats are great anyway so nothing to gain anyway.)

Commonwealth will be ready soon I hope.

[Amos]

Good luck

[Aezeal]

hehe I'm sort of ready atm..

Commonwealth will be uploaded soon
it's the same as Amos version (clearly)
except for the following
- spaceform, with wings for most units but a shuttle for the 2 human sized mages.
- no simians
- one weakish (?) but AN ranged infantry unit
- also air magic for all mages (most randoms are now ASW) (to make clear for myself why there are lightning attacks)
- less astral magic (3) on the ship but 1 air added
- changed some weapons on the ships (made most stronger)
- lowered cost for nearly all spells
- increased costs for all commanders
- dyingdom, starting with a stronger terraformer (the Galactic Ice Citadel)
- added a new turret (lightning turret)
- wormhole now is S3 A1 (still castable by the ships and no other units (well maybe with VERY VERY lucky randoms, I'd have to check but I even doubt that)
- Frigate is recruitable
- there is a farsummon spell to create a few frigates, destroyers and a leading ship in a distant planet

[Aezeal]

ow and I gave them illwinter.. if you in some way get a Blood 5 mage and research it.. well then you may cast it

[Aezeal]

hmmm most have been a forest province.. thought I had removed those from planets.. which province nr?

[JaghataiKhan]

Westernmost planet that looks like Uranus)and probably IS Uranus, top province. Also the southernmost Moon Wastes are strangely seperated in the middle, unreachable by land.

Couldn't edit, so...

A Spider Queen turns into a Predator Queen when loaded and unloaded in a barge

[Aezeal]

which is a pretty neat trick.. but not the way it should be I'll edit that later (need sleep now)
The moon being divided in 2 is intentional (see the province names next to the barrier) to create 2 4 province start locations on a planet.
