Troll Moose Knights are indeed in Dom2 already, there is a whole troll only poptype that only appears on a map when scripted. Yoiu can recruit trolls, war trolls, troll moose knights and troll kings from that one.

Kristoffer, what would you guys say to putting Conquest of Elysium as an extra on the Dom3 CD? I don't think you're getting any revenue out of that one as things stand, and its seriously old, but it would certainly give you good publicity if nothing else. If you feel like it, of course.

As for the generic orcs, elves etc, carbon copied from D&D and AD&D, no thank you. I like the Dominions setup the way it is right now, and adding the generics that appear everywhere else would be a detracting flavor from the game.

Something that might be ineteresting would be a nation of crossbreeds, with perhaps two or three types of (more or less worthless) autospawn units and recruitable stuff similar to some of the things that the current corssbreeding spell does. I'm envisioning something along the lines of the Scarred from Holly Lisle's Secret Texts trilogy, if you've happened to read that one. Basically, excessive overuse of a particularly nsty kind of blood magic caused a world wide catastrophe and the backlash of magical energy caused whole nations to mutate into essentially different species or at least subspecies of similar strains, some of which could interbreed and some of which could not. Normally the backlash would have just killed all the victims, but the gods intervened and just caused them to change. A very interesting world, that one, and could give some really good ideas.
