|||Oh how predictable. xD



So the english traditional fire breathing dragons are good guys, necromancing insects are bad guys and the tree-huggers are question mark?|||actually. fire breathing dragons are predictable if they're good OR bad. if you want dragons to be anything but a cliche, they'll need a huge re-invention.|||I think the question is: How the **** did you get that?



Second question: What about the numbered list?|||I hope either they're all good/bad guys or they completely turn the tables and the necromancers are the good guys with the traditional being neutral or evil.|||Everything should be GREY. No one is "Good" as each side will have their own "justice" and self-conviction that they are right and the enemy is wrong.



playing through tak, it's obvious that taros is the most evil EVIL that ever existed in the game.



Instead, take your magic race and make them the bright, open, and apparently good side, as they use their magic to let skeletons and other animated objects work the fields, build things, and be general slaves. very high standards of living, complex & awe-inspiring cities, etc. until the daemons revolt.



Your "medieval" side would be jealous of this power, and would hence be hostile to anything outside of their realm, becoming something of xenophobic supremacists with a hint of fascism.



While the Zohn-clone is your average disinterested faction, generally keeping to itself and its own ways, but has problems with both sides: medieval is looking for resources/wood/monsters-for-Colosseum, and magic race raid their cemeteries and burial grounds to increase their undead workforce.



See? it's not that difficult. :p|||re1wind|||Lt_hawkeye|||WayMaker|||re1wind|||I think when CT said "good and evil" I think he meant in the context of modern society.



Of course some cult of demon worshipers see themselves as good because of their culture and so forth, but to us they appear as evil.
