Modding stuff is good, but it is JK's business. I only read code. No actual programming, apart from adding stats, spells and nations.

One other thing I'm sure the residents of the mod forum are interested in: Can we expect clean Dom3 unit sprites to be available at some point? It would make the lives of modders much, much easier and I remember someone mentioning in a thread over there that you planned on releasing the images,.. maybe?

Hmm. That sounded more like a nagging request than encouragement. My bad. Soo,.. Wow us with flavoury Gath-y goodness! Dom3 is up there with master of magic as one of my all time favourites.

Perhaps I've a sadistic streak, but I really enjoy watching massed archers wipe out enemy formations with flaming arrows or scattering them with chariots.

Actually it's something I have intended to do. I'm not sure if it is possible, but I vaguely recollect that JK made some function to that end. So the nagging is quite OK.

Thanks Kristoffer for not forgetting Dominions!

Maybe, perhaps, you could bring back the proper holy/unholy icons

Kristoffer, this game is fantastic. Anytime that someone asks for a downward "balance change", I'd like you to feel free to ignore them.

Now that I have Lanka, I'm a happy man. I get my cake and I can eat it too! (Mmmm, monkey cake...) Keep up the good work with the new factions.

That being said, if you'd like to make some more troops for middle-era Agartha, I'd be as happy as a puppy. They are a little light on troops.

More like getting the undead blessing bug fixed so that bless works and undead sacreds getting both holy and unholy icons?

Non-undead reanimators would also benefit from such an icon, or a reanimator/necromancy icon. Just a thought. MAke of it what you will.

Can I second this.

So many people complain about 'balance' and this usually results in a unit, spell etc... being nerfed, made vastly inferior than it was. This happens time and time again until eventually the game does become 'balanced', in such a way that noone plays it anymore, cause its boring. I have seen so many good games spoiled this way.

Edi: There's a mod which fixes bless.

I have to be diplomatic about requests to "balance" nations. Especially since Im mostly a solo player and such balance is usually an MP thing so that people know the winner won by strategy. But if its a road which leads to eventually every nation having the same exact units and abilities but just wearing diffrent colors, then my biggest complaint is that there are already a ton of those games. I know that rock-paper-scissors balance is much harder to do but I highly appreciate it.

I also love the art, the RPG themes, the prettier generated maps, and the whole game concept. Thank you Kristoffer.
