Race ideas:
Demons
Gnomes (yes, I know there is already a Gnome faction...)
Ents
Werewolves

I love it!
 
So we have some who think the Humans are the best, some the Elves, some the Orcs and now some the Dwarves...
 
Makes me think the Devs actually got it right?

My apologies! (and my point is made in spades!)

Illy is everyone (and anyone's) game... It's just up to the folks to organize and get on the field!!!

TD-- I'm also in total disagreement with the whole "H? is uncatchable" argument. If you look at the alliance list, we're only 600k pop above Peace... (granted it's probably because noone wants to be part of an alliance of grumpy old men like us), but still... Peace only started on August 3rd... Food for thought...

FYI-- TD-- This is extremely untrue. While some H? members are heavy prestige users (myself included, as I'm lazy and like to rush things...), some are not. Many of the leading members of H? use prestige sparingly, if at all...

I rather think Illy needs more races. Even if the races are not completely balanced, adding options to take different routes through the game, and even favoring specific non-combat traits (like crafting or NPC interaction) would be a plus and might even help to break any deadend stalemate in the alliance powerstructure. Ill keep dreaming :)

Actually, this thread started as a dicussion about the differences in Illy races.  Smile
 
But I think the most interesting discussions are "sua sponte" as this has become.
