Just a quick one to all the Dominions 3 fans out there, myself included. There’s a new patch out for Illwinter’s super sexy strategy game, bringing the title to version 3.14. New features include:

-A new late ear nation called Bogarus! -Bakemono got a new scout. -New random events. -Spell AI: Touch of madness and Berserkers avoids casters and archers to some extent. -Spell AI: No longer casts LoS on armorless units. -Modding: Increased maximum nbr of descriptions. -Modding: Max number of nations and nametypes increased. -Modding: New monster commands: #darkpower, #firepower, #coldpower, #stormpower, #fallpower, #winterpower, #summerpower, #springpower, #darkvision, #onebattlespell, #patrolbonus. -Modding: New item commands: #newitem, #descr, #weapon, #armor, #type, #name, #copyspr. -Modding: New spell command: #nextspell.

As you can see, a lot of the changes a modding-related, so don’t consider it essential unless you like being up-to-date or happen to be a mod fiend.
