Is there a battlefield map mod for Dom III?

Epaminondas · #1 December 22nd, 2006, 08:38 PM

Back in the olden days when I used to play Dom II, a helpful soul made a battlefield map mod of sorts where I could easily pit any types of units against each other to test how effective certain units or unit combinations were against each other. Is there a similar mod for Dom III?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Basically, I want to test various units against each other to test their combat effectiveness. If this can be easily modded myself, please let me know too.

I think Gandalf Parker has what you want, but I'm too lazy to link it.

I browsed his website, but all his downloads were maps?

Ah, I was thinking of the map he made that allows you to (inconveniently) punch in which units you want to fight which and then have the battle in only a few turns. Unfortunately, Dominions 3 doesn't have anything that simple.

There was actually a pretty long argument over whether a battle-testing option would go against the 'spirit of the game'.

Yes, I remember this type of map for Dom II, but is there one for Dom III?

If so, please link?

You could probably just use the one from DomII (Don't have, nor a link, so don't ask

)

There is an easier way to test units against each other in any battle replay, but I don't remember the key shortcuts that kill all units on the field and the others that pop new ones in there that will then fight it out. It works as kind of battle simulator.

The link has been updated on my Dom3minions.com site but I let the registry on dom2minions lapse.
