the Mini Map


mini map jpg This was a fast and dirty effort to create a combat simulator. The map is just large enough to let you bring 2 armies to battle. There are only 6 provinces, 4 land and 2 water. Edit the Mini.map file to see an example of how to change the armies you want to test.

This is the MiniMap.zip.


You start a game on Mini map (Era 1 if using Dom3).
You select Human Arcos.
And select Human Ermor.
Just hit OK on everything else (in Dom3 it will assign you a god and name it).

You send the two test armies to meet in the empty neutral province and watch the battle.

Starting another game lets you try different formations and scripted commands to see if you can affect the outcome or perfect a tactic.

Editing the .map file (its plain text) allows you to create different armies, test different equipment, give them experience levels. The Shft-I command will show you in Dominions what the numbers are for a unit or a piece of equipment so you can use it to build armies in the .map for testing.
