In history humans performed genocide on others because of religion or skin color (and it is still happening). Now, with different races involved and the race of the attacker being evil (they might be unaligned, but because of 4Es Diablo design they must still be the enemies so that the PCs can fight them) it is much more likely that this happens.Also I don't believe that all monsters choose to survive by raiding. Some of them will want to build towns of their own, even if they just have a base for further raiding. And whats easier than to take away a existing town in a good spot from its weak inhabitants (humans)? Thats a problem with how most people see humanoid monsters in D&D. Somehow they are unable to imagine that they do anything else than fight. Orc farmer? Impossible! Bugbear tanner? Rediculous!!! I even heared some comments about how people can't imagine any civilian dragonborn.But this is simply silly. No culture can consist only of warriors.Sadly 4E seems to assume exactly that as the setting can't work if the monsters act in any organized, intelligent manner.</blockquote>
