Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
One thing I missed in the wiki was regarding SP play. This was pretty much downplayed with a terrible AI. I've seen a couple of posts on this forum that give hints for improving the SP experience. It would be nice if those with the knowledge would fill in some blanks there.

Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
Well done on the Wiki, it is really great and I am sure that it will become even better over time.
Also, that AAR is amazing, a true tour-de-force. I can not imagine how many hours went into it.

There are some things in the FAQ regarding this, but the link in my sig to the Better Independents mod v2.1 should serve you well. It makes the AI much tougher by eliminating the chaff hordes as recruitables.
It started out as just an idea to see if SP could be improved and it was surprisingly successful. I personally never play SP without BI enabled anymore.
Read the thread, there are some good tips there on what makes for a tough opponent with that mod.

Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
As far as the sprite issue: A long time ago, when Dom3 first came out, there was talk that when the Devs had uploaded the sprites from Dom2, there was some kind of conflict that turned the uploaded sprites "fuzzy", which does seem to be the case, atleast when I copy certain posted sprites. So I'm wondering if that is, or was, true. If it wasn't, then I agree that it's probably resolution that's causing the problem.
What's an ideal resolution for the game, by the way?

Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
very happy to see such a pretty wiki.
good job, ich !
any clever idea of how to use the wiki for different dom3 mods, i think about vanilla vs. conceptual balance mod at the nation overview pages.
list different units / effects on the same page in extra sections (like cbm mod) or start extra pages ? or use the category system ?

Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
Thank you lch, from a noob who was very disappointed in the strategy wiki. I should have the game mastered any minute now.
In the meantime, I have a question about the heroic ability formulae. Specifically, I have Udum'ukinna in year five of my second SP game and he has plus 30 strength. By the formula, plus 30 is hundreds of turns away. Have I been incredibly lucky with a DRN, or am I missing something?

Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
I can proudly announce that the Wiki now features every magic site that the game has to offer! It also gained semantic properties for these articles and a couple of others, so it is becoming a real database which you can run queries against later on, like "show me all sites which give a laboratory when found". (see this ugly preview for that - this is only a very raw interface to the data)

I suppose you're talking about http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Heroic_ability
All the information in there has been gained by debugging. I may have made some errors here and there. Just be lucky that your bonus is so high.

Re: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki
Is it possible to have Dominions 3 wiki to have the "tab" plugins?
{{tabinclude>PATH}}
