Of course you can

Open the manual...

(Ok, that was ironic, but I really find the Grimoire an extremely useful tool)

Here is a list of the command line switches for Dom3.
http://www.dom3minions.com/docs/CommandLine.txt

I like nofade, no credit screen, no animated background, no music (after a couple of years I got tired of that), turning the click volume down, renaming on, changing the color of the plains on random maps to green instead of brown, setting water percantage lower and mountain percentage higher on random maps (creates a maze-like map with lots of choke points), indepts defaulting to 7, magic sites to 75. Oh and running inside a window rather than full screen.

The nofade switch does not work in Windows and according to Johan, that is WAD.

1. So you can't turn off the fade to battle screen?

2. You can't review the magic schools/spells when creating a pretender?

3. You can't turn off the arrows animation when moving an army?

Any info is appreciated.

There is the --fastgrx (fast graphics) switch. But personally I dislike it. It affects everything. The fonts are uglier, the map is uglier, etc.

I don't have a slow computer, I'm just impatient. Wow does --fastgrx make the graphics look crazy! And it doesn't speed up the arrows/fade to battle screen.

You can skip the arrow animation by pressing 'n' or right-clicking on a different province.

Yeah, the arrows aren't really a problem because you don't have to wait for them to finish before you do the next thing.
