Would it be possible for monsters that wonder into outposts instead of taking them / destroying them, could they instead destroy and turn it into a monster lair of that particular monster type (or just a generic lair).
Ooh yeah, then I can use Arcane Monolith to transform mana into xp, gold and loot. 
Guess that would be an unintended consequence?
I like this - I"m still tryin to figure out a way ta make an ai opponent that uses a certain 'creature' race or two without the ability to settle a city & produce normall units - this would work well with it I think
That could be an unitended consequence, but who's to say you are the one going to reap the benifits. Never know what generic / monster lair that is being put there. Could easily make it no loot / little loot so it's not worth the mana cost. Also, we can adjust the monster lair appropriately to not give a lot of xp... but then we are talking about balance here then and first I would like to know if it is possible.
I see no reason it would not be possible:
game logic would go along the lines of monsters wanders in random direction, if steps on outpost/monolith then destroy it and spawn lair.
Wow yeah so, this would be awesome but so far i can't find a good way to do it sorry. Hopefully one of the bigger modders can come in here and give us some pointers
