The era of magic dwindles, and former mages turn their attention to strange machines. Metalworking and crafting rule the day, even religion is on the wane. Philosophers proclaim that God is dead, and no one contradicts them. But the ancient powers are not finished yet, and rise up to claim dominion over the world before all the old ways are lost.

Will upload my pretender as soon as I get home from work.

I am really bad with computers and have no idea how to mod correctly. Right now I am playing in the Newbie game that to my knowledge has not been updated from 3.00 yet. How should I install the patch and the mod so I don't ruin my other MP game?

[Sheap]

To install the mod:
Open the mod zip file. It will contain a single file called hhnerf.dm. Move this file into the mods/ directory under your (patched) dominions3 folder. To use the mod, go to the "preferences" screen, choose "mod" preferences and enable it. You need to enable the mod before you create your pretender for this game. You should disable it again afterward - the game will automatically choose the correct mod for each turn once the game is going. You should do this before you install the patch, if you are planning to keep your previous game version.

To install the patch and keep your old version:
Make a copy of your dominions3 folder. When you go to install the patch, it will choose one of the copies to patch. Whichever one it chooses is the patched version, whichever one it doesn't choose is the unpatched version. You'll only have a shortcut to one, but you can run the other by going to its folder and double clicking the dom3 program. Which version you are currently running will be displayed in the lower left corner of the screen when you launch the game.

It is not 100% necessary to keep both versions. If you play in an unpatched game with a patched version of the software, your battle replays will not exactly match the actual battle results although usually they will be pretty close. But, everything else will be ok.

Hopefully the 3.02 patch will come out soon and the need to have multiple game versions will go away.

Seems like my brother computer died, so I will play for him until he gets it working again. That will probably not be long, I know he likes his comp.

Version 3.00 and 3.01 work fine with eachother. We will host host using 3.01, but people can use any version they like on thier clients, but do not get worried when battle plays strangly.

I guess I said the same thing as Sheap...

[Maltrease]

I think I am going to bow out on this game now. Things are getting hectic for me now and since the game hasn't started it shouldn't inconvenience anyone to much (I hope).

So someone else is welcome to snatch up Atlantis.

[Folket]

I guess we will just start without Atlantis.
