*kills Pocus*

Urgh, no tinker gnomes from Krynn, thank you...

I'd be pretty leery of putting anything of the gunpowder era or later into Dom2, somehow ut just destroys the feel of ancient mystery and power in it. The Mechanical Men, Iron Dragons etc are advanced, but also animated by magic, and they are mechanical inventions, not chemical discoveries like gunpowder.

Actually, I was thinking of something more akin to China Mieville's New Crobuzon.

As someone else has also suggested: I would love to see somekind of Arabian Nights nation. And of course Ashikaga Shogunate -style nation too.

Orcs and other typical fantasy races are a bit boring IMHO.
Mythological/semi-historical races are much more interesting.
