You are a God! You are master and ruler of a loyal nation. You have unimaginable powers at your disposal. You have claimed this world as yours. But there are others who stand in your way. You must defeat and destroy these pretenders. Only then can you ascend to godhood and become the new Pantokrator. When you start the game you decide what kind of god you are and how your DOMINION affects your lands and followers. It is an expression of your divine might and the faith of your followers. If your dominion dies, so do you. Your dominion also inspires your sacred warriors and gives them powers derived from your dominion. In order to win and become the one true god you have to defeat your enemies one of three different ways: conquer their lands, extinguish their dominion or claim the Thrones of Ascension. Release version and manual is available now. Manual can be downloaded from Illwinter's web page.

Is a shortage of Eagle Kings making you sad? Has the awesomeness of Marverni's druids going from recruit everywhere to cap-only STR left you reeling? Is having a Niefel Jarl only every second turn making you feel Niefel is insufficently OP? Then download the Fast to Recruit mod and unleash the power of your cap only commanders!

Since I will apparently keep using my Shrapnel threads to host attachments rather than actually check out file sharing sites, download the mod from this post (it is the ftr_mod.zip attachment):

Note that this is not a balance mod: I changed cap-only STR commanders across the board. Non-cap STR commanders I left as-is since it is easy enough to power through that restriction by building more forts. I thought about increasing limits on troops that had limited recruitment but in the end decided not to. If there's an interest in that I can put together a version of the mod that does that.

Also note that changing units from STR to normal recruitment results in a price increase. I don't necessarily agree with the price increases but to keep things simple I didn't adjust pricing - the only change is removing STR.

I'm not sure, but I think Shrapnel will remove everything dom3 around nov 1. They agreed to keep the forum going for a year. So if you have dom3 mods and stuff on the shrapnel forum it might be wise to move it somewhere else before they shut it down.

Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten about that. I'll get this posted somewhere else. Most of the rest of my stuff on Shrapnel is just one-off mods and maps for particular Dom 3 games so not really a big deal losing it.

That's interesting about the price increase. I don't remember seeing STR mentioned in the autocalc section of the mod manual. Any guesses at the formula?

It looks like around 10%.

Normal STR cost:

Eagle King - 400 gold
Dai Oni - 500 gold
Dwarven Smith - 150 gold

FTR mod cost:

Eagle King - 445 gold
Dai Oni - 560 gold
Dwarven Smith - 165 gold
