Amos has perhaps achieved the most creative and original mods available, but even he's got some based on books, comic books, role-playing game Nations, etc.

While Kristoffer has his preferences, I'm hoping it may not necessarily translate into "strictly avoiding entirely working on any ideas already expressed." Historical, mythological and fictional resources can be expressed into Dominions 3 in many different ways. It is also valid to express ideas that happen to be parallel or convergent to another's work and independently come up with a similar or even identical product. (I believe these principles should apply even in a legal setting?)
