Here's a tiny thing I stumbled across while plumbing the depths of the Eexhmml.

Each raceconfig has a tag that is called Alignment (Good/Evil)

    <Alignment>Good</Alignment>

Now, as far as I know, it has no real purpose currently in-game. So, let's give  it a purpose.

In your own raceconfig, you can define a new Alignment. There's Good and Evil, so let's call ours Nietzsche (get it? GET IT?).

Now let's say you want to do a building or an item that is specific to your raceconfig.

        <Prereq>
            <Type>Alignment</Type>
            <Attribute>Nietzsche</Attribute>
        </Prereq>

Ta-da!

Now, this has two huge implications.

First, we can create items that are not only race-specific, but specific to your raceconfig.

Secondly, and this is REALLY THE BIG ONE, we can tie ALL the existing Empire and Kingdom buildings to their alignments. Thus, we can purge all the existing buildings and items from a new raceconfig playing as, let's say Allegiance:Kingdom Race:Amarians, and create a truly new gamestyle.

This will allow us to effortlessly create new racepacks, such as the community project Elf Race coming up soon. No more worrying about overwriting old gamemodifiers or replacing tile models for other races.

Edit: I will create a separate library for when the elf race is released. It will only serve the purpose of adding alignment requirements to all the existing buildings.
