Default Drow theme

First, I would like to say how much I enjoy the current themes.
Those are the ones I recognized. hope I haven't made too many mistakes there
Pythium -> Rome
Marignon -> spain/france inquisition
Ulm -> dwarves
R'lyeh -> Illithids (forgotten realms)
Atlantis -> Atlantis
Jotun -> Norse myth
Man -> Avalon myth
Arco -> Asirian ?
Pan -> elves ?
Van -> Norse myth

They are all great. I really love history, mythology and fantasy so DOM blends all of them wonderfully.
I would really like to see a Drow theme implemented. Drow as in R.A.Salvatore books.
They had one in MOM and it really rocked.
Also, can you consider implementing Egyptian and/or ancient hebrew themes?

BTW, can any of you comlete/fix the current theme list?

Ulm is based on Germany. Ulmians are tall, not short, and they don't have beards. There is actualy a place called Ulm in Germany.

R'lyeh is based on Ctulhu mythos.

Pan is based on certain parts from greek mythology.

C'tis is based on Babylonian(I think it was Babylonian mythos) with Egyptian elements mixed in.

Arco has elements from Assyrians, Babylonians and Greeks.

And no offence, but i absolutely hate drows.
And i realy hate when someone tries to get drows to Dominions...

But you'll have the mod tools. Do whatever you want...

Egyptian/Hebrew themes: I would like to see them too, and i think C'tis has a "Desert Tombs" theme.

Strange, I didn't know that the germans were dwarves (Ulm is not supposed to be dwarves).

R'lyeh is mostly based on Chtuhlu.

Pangaea is based on greek myth.

Arco on hellenistic/persian empires

Pythium is based on Byzantium/Rome

Wtf? Is this a joke? Ulm with those various heavy infantry is based on Germany?
Pardon me, but what are we talking about?
German tribes had some dumbass barbarians in the early ages, they were owned bigtime by the various other barbarians like the Huns. .
I doubt that germany ever had heavy infantry in the medieval ages at all. [Holy Roman Empire was not Germany at all..]
