design just ONE province

I don't think there is a mooseknight poptype.

Maybe there should be <.< >.>

Colonies of olms or cave drakes would seem logical. Or a tomb of forgotten horrors (othernesses or the like).

#poptype 71
Troll King, Troll, War Troll & Troll Moose Knight

[Warhammer]

Only problem with the Moose Knights is that it would have be run on a NI map.

OK the SRAND games on my server
http://www.dom3minions.com/HostedGames.htm
have gotten popular again. And the Faerun map has always been popular for its special provinces. But both have some limited play if there is no variation.

So I am back to asking that everyone create ONE province. Build it around a particular magic site maybe. Name the province, choose its population, its sites, its defenders, its gains and its dangers. This is not modding (not making new things). Use any sites, population, structures, units, equipment that is already in the game.

Much thanks. Those look great. I particularly like that they are flavorful and theme based without being killer. We have lots of killer provinces.

Yesterday one of the Dom3 IRC channels went off on the subject also. I have 4 pages of notes! Im really going to try and flesh them out.

[Gandalf Parker]

Yes, I know. I still have to create the Goons suggestions on specials for RanDom.
OR if one of the goons wants to play with map commands to do it, I will gladly help. See me in IRC

Does anyone else have a pet peeve they have hit when playing? A province where the province name, magic sites, defenders did not seem to make sense together? Something that made you say "if I FIGHT it I should GET it!". then feel free to design the province completely the way you feel it SHOULD have been, and upload it here.
