It seems to me that the elves in Under the Burning Suns should all be
liminal, not lawful. Desert-dwellers, while reasonably hardened to the
heat of the day and the cold and enemies during the night, would
generally do best around dawn and dusk, so liminal fits them well;
again, elves in general don't seem to need laws very much per se,
relying on codes of honor and the like, so lawful does not seem like a
good match. I suppose it's possible that Eloh-worship has affected their
alignment so thoroughly, but I don't see any essential reason for this....
I can't help feeling that someone has already thoroughly considered this
(maybe desert_hunter?)... but I poked around, and didn't see many signs
of this being worked on, so I figured I'd put in my two bits.
Some more thoughts on how this would work out:
* The Desert Star unit would probably need to be removed, which is a
pity
* The scenarios would need some general re-balancing, since the
elves would be somewhat more powerful on the average
* I can't think of any plot that would need to be changed, although
bits of dialog would probably need tweaking
I'd be happy to test out revisions, although I can't say I'm a
tremendously experienced player -- I've only completed the campaign
twice so far. (This is why I'm not volunteering to do the re-balancing
myself... heh.)
