I think there are valid reasons to choose alternate races in Legends.
The foremost one is to match a factional or religious race/culture
combination.  Also, if you choose a powerful but slow breeding
racial type, you can still conquer locations of any race/culture
combination that you can find.  Then you can use the conquered
population any way you want.

In NIC, I chose an Orc Barbarian Hero, Temple of the Dead Priest.
This race/culture is the desired type for my religion which means that
I will regain mana faster than other races that are of the same religion
(1-2 pts per production).

For the factional side of the argument, you may want to choose a
race that matches the faction you plan to join.  You'll have better
chances influencing associated NPCs that way.  Also, you definately
don't want to be of a "hated" race if you plan to influence anybody
of your faction's race.  Some races do hate humans, you know.

This sounds so racist!  Can't we all just get along?  :^)

Later,
Dale
