Something i've been thinking alot about is splitting the current races into these new ones and making each fully playable. Thinking of a storyline which would cause this.
-Human (Balanced, Warfare)
-Blood Elf (Magic, Traditional)
-Dwarf / Gnome (Tech, Seige)
-Orc / Centuar (Strength, Shamanistic, Traditional)
-Troll / Tuaren (Strength, Voodoo/Druid)
-Forsaken (Altered Form of Undead)
-Nerubian / Worgen / Vampire (Undecided)
-Night Elf (Undecided)
-Naga / Murloc (undecided)
-Goblin (Merchant, Explosive)
-Draenei (Magic, Curroption)
-Terran (Fully-Hero Race)
One of the main goals is to try and have less micro, and more strategy into the game. I started writing out a techtree switch.

Troll/Tuaren Build Similar to Orc

Forsaken
Nerubian/Worgen/Vampire

Draenei Huge Lack of Models on this part, if to be like new-wow version.
Terran
-Hero Only Race, Start with one hero and purchase more at COmmand Center/ upgrade current ones with special buildings
Just want ideas to help this along, I know this is a huge, and probaly hopeless project, and is very unrefined at the moment. The races would be implemented one at a time anyway so I want to try and plan ahead.
One of the greatest problems of this kind of project is the lack of artwork and models available.
