New nations extremely well crafted and enjoyable

> Why oh why must all giants in Dom3 be cyclopes?

Probably because I'm influenced by Powers & Perils, a splendid pen&paper RPG from the early 80's. They have lots of one eyed giants there. Earth giants, Orchi, Searbhani, perhaps others as well. P&P is quite heavily mythologically influenced and I suspect this is one of the reasons Dominions is as well. Greek myth and historiography id full of them. Herdotos writes about one eyed giants. One eye is one of the most common traits of monstrous guys. Three eyes might come second . I like cyclopes. But I like three eyes as well.

> Fomorians are supposed to have strong connections to the sea, to the dead, and to the sea dead. It would have been cool if more had been done with this. If they had the ability, say, to summon aquatic soulless or longdead Celtic pirates, or something, but only while they were in the water. Also cool if they were the only race that could build fortresses on land and sea both, since that seems thematic to me.

While I like the fomorians I'm actually a bit dissatisfied that they did not turn out more dead-sea-attuned.

> Also, now that Terrain-forms are in, maybe Fomorians could have a water-shape where they turn into some kind of undead when they go into the ocean? That would make strategies involving them a little more interesting.

Watershapes are cool.

>I was honestly disappointed that atleast some of the Fomorians weren't (more) monstrously grotesque. I know some of them have the heads of goats and things, and you probably wouldn't want to date one if George Clooney was answering your calls, but I was hoping-atleast as a subtype or a summons, to get a real freakshow of nasty inbred cannibalistic monstrosities, like giant magical versions of those folks that live in West Virginia and haven't heard about the end of the Civil War yet, and have their own ideas about the benefits of tourism.
Maybe something along the lines of Crossbreeding, that occasionally throws in the extra head or hoof or tentacle? Adding or subtracting to the overall strengths and abilities of any given Fomorian, in a random fashion, in addition to the possibility of disabilities, would also be interesting for balance and strategy.

I agree. I did want a bit more variation to their monstrosity, but it demanded more work both from me and from JK. There is no random unit recruitment. The random afflictions was the second best thing.

> I wonder if Kristoffer has ever rented Nightbreed?

Only parts (according to my brother, who knows what I have seen and what not).
