More races in this game!!!!

ok i think i have a few ideas, tho i do realise that there may be some flaws in them, im still ironing the ideas out...

- cool down period for defensive spells for an individual playing player to be shortened to around 2hrs
 
- option to recast a different defensive spell immediately but it can not be the same rune spell eg. if the individual player has used ward of destruction then the player can not use mark of slaying, death rune or killing glyph until the cool down period has reset.
Instead the individual will have to choose from the remaining defensive spell options

- blight casting from an attacking player, if it fails will suffer its effects, meaning the attacking player will have to put a little more thought before casting

- sov sq's that has been claimed by the individual will have a def & attk % option for their armies (this will be all depending on what sov lvl the individual has on the sq), meaning if a player is under seige, will have a fair chance of defending themselves against an attack or defending against an attack on the outside of their cities (strategically speaking the attacking player will not know what option the individual has gone with)


edit:

- an attacking player can not use the same sq to seige from if they have failed but will have to choose from another .. (if the defending individual has defended themselves successfully against a seige from all surrounding sq's the attacking player can no longer use those sq for seizing the player) for a 72hr period

It will be awesome to see new races introduced to the game, and its nice to see its something thats already been discussed by the devs.

I think there is alot of strategy in the game but i feel it is more focused towards alliances rather then individuals so it would be nice to offer  more defensive options to ones who choose to play solely, especially when defending against multiple opponents.
Defending yourself 24/7 is impossible for a single player, havent quite figured out how to even up the odds in this department yet (even if it is only by a smidgen) but im working on it :D

Would they take their flavour from their surroundings and be able to fight on for three days after being killed; unless you had butchers, assassins or vampires in your army? Hot oil would do double damage and battering rams would make them more tasty, increasing the food they drop?   The Chicken People would just stand around and look at each other.  They would be used as diversion as the real armies snuck up and began sapping the wall.  Their presence would also decrease the gold cost of the army, since they would be supplying food as part of their war effort.  And yes, after having their heads cut off, they would still run around in circles causing much confusion.  Chicken people are a necessity to any serious armed endeavor. Beware! The Chicken People!

HOLY THEY'RE REAL!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*G0DsDestroyer wonders if there's a chicken NPC.....

When we can dedicate development time to it, we will most likely expand on the current strategic options (and more races is something we often discuss).
