Possible New Race Themes!

This. I will trade fish-race for reptilian race in a heartbeat.

 

All the reptile race suggestions I know of:

Also, there are three race suggestions that I am tired of seeing.
Cat people, Blob people, and shapeshifters.

 

If I had to choose over everything I like. I would have to choose the monophytes. They're the most unique and original, and offer a diverse culture and possible style of gameplay. I understand the opposition to the cat races and the lycans, as the characters wouldn't feel much different than playing a human with nekomimi. Because the way the gameplay works your tech tree defines your bonuses. So it's important to have a race with a well thought out culture that will allow your play experience to be dynamically different than the other races.

An idea that I would love to see play out would be Celtic elves. As it is closest to vikings but allows you to play with many time periods. It doesn't have to be elves, but the Celtic lore is part of my heritage, so I would derive much personal enjoyment from playing that race.

 

Thanks for putting the links I didn't know about those and they makes sense
Much appreciated

 

Ghost/Necro Race:

Have no legs (hover as if they had legs)
skeletal/shadow/cape and cowl figures
stronger at night
Gothic building theme
bonus to sapping and poison ablitys
EXTREME weakness to holy / fire attacks
ability to see in the dark
slight stat loss during day

 

I wouldn't mind seeing an insect race. Something that looks like a praying mantis or maybe even a beetle of some sort.

 

What I want to see, is a humanoid bat race that could be sworn enemies with the Avians. They could get a seeing in the dark bonus or perhaps some kind of bonus relating to flying, and perhaps have a sort of ancient celtic/druidic theme.

 

what if there was an option to change what theme a race could have. (an example would be a Novakid with a tribal theme or a Sci-Fi Glitch)
