Talk:Dominions 3: The Awakening

Hey I'm gonna add some subpages. Drop me a note if I do something wrong.--Clyde Miller 19:33, 19 September 2006 (CDT)

front text
The front text is a bit like meaningless marketing babble... as soon as a short "what is dom3" wikipedia entry exist i will copy it to this place. Is there a general rule / template of what information has to bee on the first wiki page and what information can be hidden on subpages ? --Horstjens 12:20, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

This part: seems to fit much better in the intro to the Magic section, instead of the intro to the whole game. I'll move it later if nobody minds. Anybody working on a good intro paragraph? --Morkilus 15:11, 20 September 2006 (CDT)


 * i don't mind. I work on a better front text, but it is unclear if i will archive anything before the game get deliverd into my hands--Horstjens 01:48, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

What do people think of moving articles under the sub-pages as shown in the Table of Contents, such as: Dominions3:_The_Awakening/The_Scales_of_Dominion/Order-turmoil rather than --Morkilus 17:13, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Dominions3:_The_Awakening/Order-turmoil
 * I think this will be a good idea. It also make the blue automatic generated links on top of each entry more meaningfull--Horstjens 02:19, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Game Name
Shouldn't it be Dominions 3, with a space? -- Prod 17:16, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
 * As noone has replied, and it seems to have a space everywhere I look, I'm going to go ahead and move it. -- Prod 11:51, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * STOP! :-P It should be "Dominions III" with Roman numerals. It's on my todo list to get done once I've fixed my bot, as there are huge numbers of sub-pages to move. --DrBob (Talk) 13:18, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * It's already done. -- Prod 13:32, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Hmm, it's an arabic "3" according to the publisher, developer, box art, and general public. Is this an official strategywiki thing? --Morkilus 11:16, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm probably wrong there; I was going by Wikipedia. StrategyWiki strives to keep the names in-line with the official ones. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 12:59, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * The official shrapnel pages http://www.shrapnelgames.com shows that Dominions II has romanic number while Dominions 3 has arabic number. (Dominions:PPP (the 1) had no number at all). I think we should respect the (confusing) reality.--Horstjens 02:17, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

For some reason, over the weekend the introduction text ended up all below the infobox instead of wrapping on the left. It looks terrible. I can't figure out why this happened, anyone else have a clue? --Morkilus 14:49, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * It looks fine to me. Could you describe what you think is wrong in more detail please? --DrBob (Talk) 15:00, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * The giant white space to the left of the info box. Maybe only I'm seeing it. --Morkilus 18:46, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I did not see a giant white space left of the box.--Horstjens 02:17, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Aha! It happens if you use the non-default skins. Every other one. --Morkilus 10:39, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm looking into it. Thanks for notifying me. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 10:57, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Table of contents
I removed the "fake" table of contents from the front page and replaced it with an link to the "real" table of contents sub - page. Please try for once syncing two different table of contents before complaining. Note that the blue show link does not work for the "fake" version of the table of contents and that blue Table of Contents link on the center top is the official way to the "real" Table of Contents. Also my subjective impression is that the dom3-wiki-front page looks more cleaned up now. Oh, and the joy of pressing the show link several times !--Horstjens 02:39, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I copied back the highest level of the TOC so that at least some nav is accessible without the show/hide stuff. This stuff shouldn't change much so shouldn't be that hard to keep synchronized. -- Prod 09:20, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
 * excellent idea, Prod --Horstjens 09:48, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Orphaned Page
Dominions 3: The Awakening/Ulm is in the wrong page location, and I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. Perhaps just have it #REDIRECT Dominions 3: The Awakening/Ulm. -- Prod 10:17, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I've merged the content into the proper page, and deleted the original one. --DrBob (Talk) 10:58, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Orphaned images
--DrBob (Talk) 07:35, 15 October 2006 (CDT)


 * The middle ones are unit graphics for nations or indys. The big thing left is a doom horror (should become part of the spell description ?) and the snake-woumen is possible a pretender. not sure. --Horstjens 13:07, 15 October 2006 (CDT)
 * If you know where they go, try to include them in the page (then remove from this page), or if they are no longer necessary, label them with delete. -- Prod 13:09, 15 October 2006 (CDT)
