a Poke in the Eye
The Poke in the Eye is a pollution of the Desert Eye map which
comes with Dominions II (both the demo and the full game). It re-uses
the eye.tga so downloading the PokeEye.map will give you a different
game which plays on that image. A VERY different game.
Every province receives a commander selected from the ALL of the units
in the game, with random equipment, random bodyguards, and random
troops. That means you will find a new commander and army waiting for
you in your home directory. Maybe an Iron Dragon commander, with
equipment, some ghosts as bodyguards, and a squad of trolls as troops.
Kewl huh? But you might find that the province next to you has a
Monolith commander with equipment, Titans as bodyguards, and a squad of
Manticores as troops. You should carefully check out who is in a
province before attacking it. And accept the fact that you might have to
just go around some leaving them undefeated.
Also there is a chance that each province might also be gifted
with a lab, temple, castle, or some combination of them. ALSO any
computer players you add have a chance of being randomly allied with
another of the computer players. This means you might discover that 2
AI's who are near each other refuse to attack each other. Fun, huh?
All you need to download is the Poke_Eye.map
which is part of my nightly routine so it gets re-randomized daily. If
clicking the link doesnt let you download it then try right-clicking it
and doing a "save as" to put it in your C:\Program Files\dominions2\maps
directory (sorry, windows example).
As per requests, the file is now also available as a Poke_Eye.zip
