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.

You should use EITHER #newnation OR #selectnation, not both. #selectnation requires you to pick a nation number and use it, #newnation does not. |
||

ok, how then i can see all nation prerequisites if it is basic nation to make the copy? |
||
Sep 30 2013 Anchor | ||
I don't understand that question. If you create a new nation from scratch, you need to use create everything for it. Recruitment lists, god lists, magic sites, monsters, assign fortera and add any special properties to its dominion if you want those. There is no way to simply copy a nation like you can copy a monster. If you want to copy an existing nation, then you need to use the same monsters and sites and so forth for the copy as well and the start sites actually have to be new ones with the same name or things are liable to break. Currently there is no list of nations in the kind of form that would let you see all their properties for that purpose. I may or may not add such a list to Dom4 DB if and when I have the time. Not for a long while, though. |

By the way, it seems like the nation list in the manual doesn't quite match, idwise. I tried to give something to MA Man and it didn't, but looking around I think I found it in another nation(whose ID was 2 greater or lesser), I think. |

Thanks Edirr, you understand all clear. |
||

MA Man should be number 37 and I believe that is correct in the manual as well. |

Can we make this a sticky? |
||
Oct 15 2013 Anchor | ||
Yes, we can. It can serve as a feedback and question thread related to the manual. |

What is the intended scenario for the poptype modding command #cleardef? What's the use of clearing PD when there is no way to add PD units back in? Is there a mod command missing from the manual? |
||
Oct 24 2013 Anchor | ||
No, there's nothing missing. PD modding for poptypes just has not been added. It was requested months ago. |

The link to the 4.03 manual still says version 4.0 and I can't find any of the new mod commands, sooo wrong manual maybe? |

Refresh the page. |

Because my post turned into an edit and nobody noticed the question 4 days ago (https://www.indiedb.com/games/dominions-4-thrones-of-ascensions/forum/thread/thread-of-many-map-making-questions ) I took the permission to post is here (It's a map making question):
Thank you! |

I'm trying to use #onlygeosrc to make a ritual that's castable in sea, deep sea, and swamps. I added together the mask values for those three terrains and used that value(32+128+256=416), as the manual says I should do, but my ritual is castable in forests and mountains. What am I doing wrong here? |
||
Dec 2 2013 Anchor | ||
I have not tested those commands myself ever, so I don't even know what specific things they invoke. You could try the terrain mask values from the map editing guide, because they are different than the site locmask table (which was assumed to also apply to spell terrain). I'll need to ask Johan about this. |

My observations of the data dump of the vanilla spells concur with Admiral_Aorta's observations from a modding perspective. The map terrain mask values are the right ones. |
