Yes. That should remove all weapons from them.

Just an update on the video issues i´m getting:

I noticed that i did not have the latest drivers for my graphics and updated them from the Intel site... now Dominions only accepts resolutions up to 1280x1024, with higher resolutions greyed out...

My graphics/monitor supports up to 1920x1080, and in fact it is the resolution that i use on my desktop... and before updating the drivers Dominions 3 detected that and accepeted it...

What graphics card, what drivers and did you uninstall and reinstall Dom3 after the graphics driver upgrade?

[Makinus]

Intel integrated G31/G33 family (GMA 3100)

The latest drivers from Intel website

Reinstalled Dom3 but kept older installation in flashdrive... both show the same behaviour.... at least the menus do not show a lot of strange letters anymore, i just got restricted to lower resolutions than before...

No problem for me, as i play Dom3 for the gameplya and not the graphics... just wanted to share the strange behaviour that i´m encountering...

Edit: I´m using Windows 7 Ultimate.

Anothe update on the graphic issue i found with the latest patch:

As i said before, after the latest patch, first dominions would show the menues completely garbled with a random string of letters instead of the options, then, after updating my graphics drivers it would appear ok, but would not allow me to select any resolution above 1280x1024 even with my monitor allowing bigger resolutions...

I suffered a crash on my computer and had to reinstall a clean windows copy, and installed all new drivers again and the garbled menus appeared again when i tried to play Dom3... but it allowed me to select up to 1920x1080... and now i discovered that if i leave the "Animated Backgrounds" active the garbled menus dissapear and it still allows me to select 1920x1080 in resolutions...

So, if i deactivate "Animated Backgrounds" the menus get garbled, but if i leave it active Dom3 functions normally and allows me to use up to 1920x1080 (the max resolution for my card/monitor). It would be perfect except that "animated backgrouds" make menu navigation very slow... not unbearable, but annoying...

edit: spoke too soon - now all screens where there is not a animated background (like in the game itslef) are still garbled... now i´m stumped...

I think i found the solution: never use intel auto-update feature for its drivers: it´s broken.

If i use Intel´s web updater for drivers it installs the most recent drivers wrong and you get the strange behavior i was getting with dominions 3 (did not see any problems with other games tough)... to install the drivers correctly and not get any problems with Dom3, download the files from Intel and install them manually...

After reinstalling intel graphic drivers manually i now can play Dom3 in my max resolution (1920 x 1080) without any graphical glitches...
