Alf: Magical beings,they are like the Aesir and the vanir (godlike). The elves (a better description will be faeries and gnomes in english) are baeutifull and kind. they usually live in Alfheim untill Frey moved in the elves had to move.

People in old days think they was kind and also bringing luck.

I'm trying to form an Idea for a mod.

Alfheim,

race of magical beings, low HP, low strength, low prot, high defense and MR plus innate magical powers (twist fate and personal luck comes to mind and maybe teleport for elite unit).

They would have to take luck +3 and turmoil +2 (since they are very jovial and nearly don't have any form of hierarchy)

Their mages would be purely astral with no random picks, Yet very strong magically.

Maybe they can have a shape shifter unit (can shape shift at beginning of battle to either a great bear/lion/eagle/shark )

If you have any interesting ideas for a gnomish mod please reply.

Perhaps nature and astral as magical pathes instead of only astral.

Frey and Freya as pretenders or heroes.
Mimer's head as pretender.

Animal awe

For some images you might try downloading the demo of "Conquestof Elyssium II" which is Illwinters game before Dominions. I was surpised to see that there were a number of images in there which were not used in Dominions.

It includes some little goblins, trolls, dark elves. Many things which should fit in nicely with Dom2

Also you might visit the great site of David Gervais. I havent been able to get him interested in Dom yet (too bad, he has done some great things for other Shrapnel games) but he did say we could feel free to use his tile-sets.

For comparable stats and abilities you might ask any DnD person if you can look at their books. I believe that Dark Elves and Goblins are listed but Alfheim and Svartalfheim are also. Usually the numbers and abilities and descriptions reflect a fair amount of research already done. Not GREAT research, but some.
