btw - would anyone be so kind as to point me to an FAQ or something that explains how to use this "-ddd switch" if one exists. Many thanks.

Sure. (Since strangely, this isn't listed in the FAQ, and it's not in the manual index either)
-d is a commandline switch which triggers Dominions to run in debug mode.
During the debug mode, a log is created of everything that happens in the game. If you want to just see the details of a battle, just load up the dominions in debug mode, and then view the battle, and then quit. This is the most common use of the debug mode. The second most common is likely to examine conflicts or problems in mods.
The level of debug desired, can be changed by the amount of d's used. So, -ddd would be more thorough than just -d
I've seen -dddddd used, but that's rather extreme, and shows a LOT of information, most of it difficult to make out and unnecessary. Remember, logs can become huge.
As to how to load up a commandline switch, since I'm a windoze user, I'll explain the two common windows methods.
1. Is to use dos, by loading up run 'cmd' to get a dos prompt. From there, get into the dominions directory, and load up dom3 with 'dom3 -d' (no quotes)
2. Is to use the dom shortcut most windows users are familiar. Before you click on the shortcut, right click on it, go the shortcut tab, and where it says target you should see something like "C:\Games\Dominions 3\dom3.exe"
Change it so the end of it looks like: dom3.exe" -d
Of course, if you use method two, you should remember to change it back after you've finished the debug run.
The log is located in your dominions folder.
I hope that answers your question fully.
