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

[JaghataiKhan]

Before Aezeal kills me, I must say that ı woN't be able to help to this mod for a very long time. I am spending what little time I have to the Turan mod, and learning modding from scratch. I know nothing right now, so I make mistakes and learn, I am still trying to add abilities and magic paths to shamans.

[Aezeal]

Nikelaos but wierd floating corpses probably don't ahve the same combat efficiency as on land (for example most troops already have lower combat power in space (humans that is) I'd say floating corpses without spacesuits wouldsuffer even more (which actually is a decent way to combat overpowering numbers of freespawn) --> the sprite could remain the same I guess but maybe their stats would have to change? Or do you envision them as undead that are a bit less coordinated in movement overall but don't suffer further penalties in space?

Jaghatai, I'm not gonna kill you I'd love to get more feedback on the mod so if you have some time to play the game I'd love to hear more comments. The post in the other thread wasn't aimed at you

anyway nick, ifyou have everything we need just send me the sprites, tell me about how strong they should be and tell me which unit they should replace

Also: remember that when we replace ermor they will probably also replace all regular undead summoning spells and that this nation will get acces to other death summons like wraiths etc

[Nikelaos]

i would put attack, defence and movement down due to no grip on ground and so harder movement, however i wouldn't put anything else down and i don't see why they would suffer, humans would only suffer because we need oxygen to function our bodies(undead are animated by magic) and our blood pressure ,which is usually counteracted with the resistance from the air around us, would make us literally burst(no need for respiration means no need for heart which means no blood pressure)

[JaghataiKhan]

my advice would be just speeding up spectral undead and giving them armor piercing attacks. Remember Final Fantasy: the Movie? sorta like this would be ok.

Put some Purchasable Tomb-Ships if you can!

[Nikelaos]

Now you mention it, yes i do remember that movie, btw don't ghosts already have an armor piercing attack like life drain or something?

[JaghataiKhan]

Then all you need to do is edit the Ghost sprite by a tiny bit, add some more stats and they are good to go.

Well soul gate will definately have to stay.. I don't think the soulgate units need to be replaced either.. maybe leave those as they are.

Ow wait that isn't all that either since having swords etc might not be what they need.

You could just mod the sprites a little though.

you don't NEED to make different sprites (or stats) for each units.. we could just replace them with the same unit instead of 2 different ones.

a soulless replacement with a gun and one with h2h weapons should be enough.

[Nikelaos]

yeah

[Aezeal]

hey Nik if you read the mod manual you could do some of the modding yourself too if you wanted.
