I am going to be doing an update to the Fantasy Empires mod, and I'm thinking of adding in a new race. Right now, there are three races (Elves, Orcs, Undead). What new race would you like to see in the mod? If you pick Other, please post your idea. Also if you have an idea of what character types should belong to that race, post that too!
For those who haven't seen the mod, each player has to choose a race to play, which decides what types of characters (ships) the player can recruit. The current races characters are:
Elves: Pixie, Sprite, Hobbit, Elf, Ranger, Centaur, Blade Singer, Unicorn Rider.
Orcs: Imp, Goblin, Gnoll, Orc, Minotaur, Ogre, Troll, Cyclops.
Undead: Skeletons, Zombie, Shadow, Ghoul, Ghost, Banshee, Vampire, Lich

I would like to see Humans AND Dwarves added as playable races and perhaps Dragons as a roaming threat like the Space Monsters of Devnull.

Maybe add Devnull style monsters of varying types instead of just dragons?
IMO humans should be added Last, if at all. They are always the most boring aspect of any fantasy/sci fi genre...

That was the original plan, but I had troubles getting the ai to work with the mod (mainly, they weren't designing ships). Couldn't figure out why, so I gave up and made it multiplayer only...)

Well, i think Fyron is right. Humans are not a race to be added into a Fantasy mod, because whats so fantasy-ish about them ?!
I would prefer dwarves because then you would have orcs, elves, undead and darves, thats sounds like a neat deal. Or maybe Lizardmen. That would be kewl as well, would give the game more diversibilty (sp?).
For race advantages i would suggest fast units/components, maybe population bonus facilites and maybe better supply components ?!

Dwarves would definitely be slower and sturdier (more hp/supplies).

Yep, indeed. And maybe weapon mounts (to show that dwarfs forge nice armors and weapons).
