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

#gems 8 3 ?

Wouldn't that mean 8 holy gems?

[Aezeal]

arg of course dammit I keep doing blood as 8 instead of 7 (I use holy as 8 too) good point I'll check all my sites for that

[Aezeal]

Machaka is ready for release (my way of ready that means you know how that is) it has 2 heroes, 2 gods, some summons, a new combat spell and it just kicks ***.

Darkcolored pplz, spiders, poison and fire.. all in a dom 3K sort of way.. I like the nation.

I'll upload the files, the sprites need to be put in the dom 3k folder... if anyone can test it a bit more I'd be gratefull.

I myself am especially satisfied with the new combat summon Call Arachnids, since I've not done combat summons before and I've not seen combat summons yet which summon 2 types of creatures. (to be honest it's not that hard to mod but I thought it a very nice and thematic spell for the nation.. I think the original nation should have it too.

I just thought of these indies and implemented them.. what do you think.. complete sillyness that must be removed or something that might deserve a race of their own? Or just let them stay as indies?

[rdonj]

It's pretty silly yes. Also algae mages seem pretty strange. I don't know about making a race out of them, but why not have independant man-killing algae....

[Darkwind]

They might be cool as indies, actually. Makes me think of whole poptypes of just "native" space indies, with swarms of spacefish who explode when killed, the occasional sentient asteroid, and perhaps space-exiles who command this ragtag band of freedom fighters (or mad scientists who abuse them).

And, yeah, sentient algal blooms casting "Eagle Eye" or some equally odd spell sounds rather strange to me too. Where they'd get eyes, I don't know...

[Aezeal]

freedom fighter, pirates... all the same. I'm not adding them as a poptype yet but I'm adding site that allow recruitment and I could set up 1-2 provinces that have that site and appropriate defenders. I've actually created a HUGE (like 500x 200 pix) spawning pool creature which exists just of transparancy with dots of green (represents algae cluttering together..) the description might sound sucky but I acutally got where I wanted to go with that sprite.

Rdonj.. do you want to add the latest poptypes to the map and maybe add the algae producing sites and give that province algae defenders?

[Aezeal]

With thanks to gandalf Parker for solving the problem I can now announce that there will be new forgeble weapons.

Always been jealous about the Jomon assassins with lightning guns.. no fear.. forge them yourself and kill all commanders.

[rdonj]

Great job, glad you've gotten that working.

I'm actually going on a bit of a hiatus from dom3 for a while, and I don't think I'm really going to have time to add the new stuff to the map for a while. So maybe it would be better if someone else did it.

[Aezeal]

Darkwind have you played the mod recently?
