-[[https://larzm42.github.io/dom5inspector/|The Inspector]] by Larz is without exaggeration the single most important tool in the dominions community. This is true to the newest noob, the oldest vet, the casual player, the modder, everyone. It has the stats of every unit, spell, item, site, and event all taken straight from the source code. It is almost perfectly accurate (map moves and gold costs on mounted units can be a bit off) and kept up to date. It even has every single sprite in the game available for download for modders. +[[mod inspector|The Inspector]] ([[https://larzm42.github.io/dom5inspector/|link]]by Larz is without exaggeration the single most important tool in the dominions community.

-MapNuke, formerly Automated Improved Dominions Starts, or as it was most often known, AIDS, is as the name implies random map generator made by Nuke (of the Something Awful/Ruby Server community).

It is FOSS and [[https://nuke-makes-games.itch.io/mapnuke|available for download on Itch.io]] with a [[https://github.com/nuke-makes-games/mapnuke|link to the GitHub]] there as well. +MapNuke, formerly Automated Improved Dominions Starts, is a procedural map generator made by [[https://twitter.com/nuke_haus|nüke]].

 This is really good for maps made with the in game generator, or any time you want to set nostarts on a map en masse because they don't have enough connections.
