I almost want to play Ulm now that all of these new units have been added to it. But some of the other nation changes appeal more.

[Username17]

OK, seriously: what the fuck? What the fuck is the reasoning behind any of that? I know Ulm sucks, but at what point did someone think it was a good idea to allow Ulm to pay 140 gold to search for seven flavors of magic? Really, that is insane.

There is no possible justification of all of this. You're not even playing Dominions, you're playing Calvinball.

The mod features a spell that lets anyone with S3 or B3 summon a F1 A1 E1 W1 mage, and anyone with W3 or E3 to summon a S1 D1 N1 B1 mage. Admittedly these spells do cost gems, but every nation can get that kind of searching diversity with a little bit of research and expenditure. Overall, the ulmish units are running with the existing theme of ulm. They have weak and difficult to use battlemagic and superior forging. It is just that the military is pretty sweet instead of sucking hard.

The overall theme of Ulm is indeed supposed to include them having a good military, which they do not actually have. But the overall theme of Ulm does not include having submarines and jetpacks. They are supposed to be Eastern European Knights with great steel, not steam punk Buck Rogers.

The entire mod appears to be full of completely crazy bullshit, almost none of which is balanced against anything in the game. I am completely at a loss as to what the point of the mod is. Winning or losing the game would have essentially no bearing on your skill at the game as everything (and I do mean everything) is now converted into a crazy crap shoot of crazy.

TheDemon's mod has reinvigorated my enthusiasm for Dominions 3. Much like it reinvigorates Atlantis's Living Pillars.

Also, apparently all of Abysia's cool Burning ones and such are getting moved to MA to make room for a bigger, cooler, more giant Fire nation called Muspelheim in EA. Annointed of Rhuax should be pretty cool (haha) MA battle mages.

Yeah the ability to spend 30 gold and 10 water gems at Construction 2 to get a battle mage that can spam Falling Fucking Frost is completely nuts. But I think the most perfect example of the complete contempt the mod authors have for, well, everything is this:

N1 const 0 Summer Sword, (tangle vines, 100 supply)

Summer Swords are actually awesome. They are decent enough magic swords and also let you spam tangle vines. But they make one hundred supply. If they can be made by Wolf Tribe Shamans at Construction 0, then supplies are basically not a problem for any faction. They are twice as good as Bags of Wine and they are independently useful in battle. With that on the table, the entire supply economy might as well not exist.

Want to summon a fire monster?
Ember lords are in, I think. But also:

Summon Fire Snakes now 6 gems, 6 effects. Fire Snake gets new Flame Lance (physical with secondaryeffectalways Fire AoE) and Fire Fang (physical with fire then poison secondaryeffects) attacks

New summon "Ashes to Ashes", Conj 9, F6, summons 100 Fire Snakes, 80 gems

[Akula]

You still have to spend nature gems to make summer swords, the fact that more factions can get them doesn't mean that supplies don't exist, it just means that the part of the game where that concerns your average faction is shorter. Besides, supplies really mostly serve as a dick move to blindside people with against LA ermor.

Also, man those 4 assassins will be hardcore.

[Avoraciopoctules]

Woah. In MA, Agartha keeps their awesome national rituals, and they can spam more because labs only cost 100.

Some nice awake SC potential

Not really. One of the things about the guys who spam really big armies is that they completely invalidate Super Combatant gods. No matter how awesome a Red Dragon is, he's still going to - at best - conquer one province a turn. A god who freespawns 175 gold worth of sacred troops every turn will conquer an extra province a turn every three turns or so.

It is certainly biased towards awake divinity (and also imprisoned divinity, since some of the blesses you can afford are insane), but not towards gods who are personally thugs. You can simply conquer too much with freespawn nagas and crap.

[Avoraciopoctules]

Sad. Oh well, I'll have plenty of SC potential in my Machaka game anyways. I should probably aim for a good bless instead. I hear the bull pretenders may keep the ridiculous Earth/Nature bless potential of AwesomeGods. That may be a good starting point.

This is actually something I was very concerned about when I made the change, and I have a note in my design document about it (and there's a good chance it'll either be increased in gemcost or research in a later version). But the thing is, the entire supply economy might as well not exist in the base game since as it barely ever comes up. Ignoring it in a mod, while not ideal, I don't feel is particularly is hugely detrimental.

There's no need to skim the .dm file. I've documented every single change I've made outside of the mod code, and while the full change log is in fact massive and not really skimmable, that's a function of the number of changes, not the documentation. e: Eventually I will see about documenting everything in a wiki, which should improve the ability to see changes "at a glance".

As for the point of the mod? You pretty much nailed it, I'm piling on the crazy for everything. I completely understand if that's not your thing.

Mod Compatibility: NONE

This mod is by TheDemon but ideas and code and art assets have been copied wholesale without permission from CBM by qm/llamabeast and EDM by llamabeast and Mytheology by Psientist/Soyweiser and UWGIM by Burnsaber and CPCS by Burnsaber and AICIM by Calahan and the Awesome series of mods by NinjaDebugger and AwesomeUlm by Feinne.
Thanks to PlagueDynasty for the logo design.

The idea behind this mod is to give units and spells that are not useful a niche use, and to make gameplay generally more interesting. If it's hard to find a good niche, they are removed.
Balance tweaks go this way as well; I will add units that fill the niches a nation is missing, or if a unit/spell dominates so it overshadows other similar units it may be nerfed so that its niche is more restricted.
Basically, the end goal is that every remaining unit and spell should be useful in some actual game situation.
I do not like cost balancing as the primary method of balancing. I do not intend to strictly follow the lore; I will change the background flavor if it is not useful.

If you have feedback on the changes, please find me on IRC (#dom3goons on irc.synirc.net) and deliver it. I am interested in hearing:
a) Do the changes work? As in, are there bugs?
b) Are the changes effective? As in, do the new units/spells fill a niche such that you would use them an actual multiplayer game situation?
c) Are the changes balanced?

Alternately this mod is the "Whatever TheDemon Wants" mod. You can think of it as a mod where every nation has been made into Mary Sues.

Like I said in my goal statement, I don't care about the initial flavor of Ulm greatly. DE Ulm is purposely no longer themed the same as vanilla Ulm. And eventually there will be internal balance, but that's really far away. Internal balance, I note, compares the mod to itself rather than the vanilla game or another mod.

Oh, I have a question. When the crone starts to throw around the first suicidal #onebattlespell, what are the things I should try to do to survive it? It says the second spell is MR negates so I was thinking an AMA for that might help, but the text doesn't say how the first spell goes about trying to kill the crone.
