Custom Nation

[Keys]

Hello! I'm interested creating a custom nation. I do not know how to code, and I've never made a mod (that worked) before.

I do have some sprites though I'm not sure what the bit value (32, 64, etc) is for this game.

Any advice in how to get started would be really helpful!

Dominions 6 is an x64 application.

To get started on modding, look through the mod manual here:

Lastly, don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have in the Modding sub-section of the forums, and good luck! :)

Sprites can be regular PNGs now, no need for 24bit TGAs anymore.

If I could ask, how hard do you think it would be to isolate the Ichythid units and create a Nation of just Ichythids with pre-existing unit cards?

Very easy for an experienced modder, probably about 10 mins work (the nation would need a flag, other than that everything exists already).

For a first time modder it's obviously harder but it's still simple. Maybe 1 hour to learn and do and ask questions and fix things you did wrong.

Yeah following the manual it should be pretty easy
