Progress is continuing in writing the online Dragonia Civipedia at the Diabolic Studios web site (
http://diabolicstudios.net) New entries are added every few days, so visit often and feel free to make comments and suggestions. When enough new etries are added, a patch will be released for the Dragonia mod to include all the new entries into the ingame civipedia, as well as some small bug fixes and balance changes. I expect this to be released in another month or two.
You are a very good person.
Heros of might and Magic, Warhammer or any fanatsy mod n the histry of mankind that uses many many units have all failed where you have succceed.
The amount of units that need story support,(like not everyone knows the dif between black dragons and their green cousins!
) is to much for designers to even think about giving all rich detailing support
-Not to mention the rich worlds that surrond units that include, cool wonders, buildings, govs, civs, resources and techs, all less emmersive to the player whos new to this world and has to stare at blank pages when he wants to come to grips/understand all the new sh#t around him.
Theres no doubt when the stuff you build has fleshed out discriptions, theres more to look forward to when discover or build something for the first time.
It Even makes looking around at your opponent's land more flavourful and interesting.
Nobody can imagine a pedia thats done to origianal Firaxis standards in amount of supporting text ("discription" button) but also in which uses twice the number of entires in every pedia dept(units, wonders, buildings etc).
With Fanatsy mods there isn't as many defult entries that can be copied over from the original game to the artist mod like say, other plantium pedias such as Rise n Rule, Balancer Reloaded or MEM had the option of doing.
Not only will this be an awesome spin on the old Xpience but also it will be an amazing read. Screw Potter!, I want to plot out a crazy epics 'civ style' while I dig deep into cool worlds like youve created with this mod and pedia support that backs up my adventures with supporting details the whole way though!
Again, thanks for supporting the hobby man
Now Being the only
truly complete non-historical mod, this work has rekindled my interest and is in great shape to be sittin in the rare CIv3 archives of 'Store bough quality' productions to be enjoyed many years by civ3 players round the world that appreciate 1st class detailing
Remember as time passes mods like yours improve like fine wine. As the average processor gets faster n faster, turn times on those mammoth huge maps and 'mega amount of civ's' epics that are so great to play, gets faster aswell. So, Improving your product now does make a lot of sence.
Besides.. when Players are moving from fancy hollowed out sequals back to the real thing in strat gaming, they can fully appreciate a far superior pedia format that civ3 's provides when the mod's designer has really taken advantage it like you and a few others have.
A big thanks to you and all pedia supporters arond the globe
(Xcuse me for going on so
Can't wait for this man, goodluck!)
