This seems to me that humans would not be the dominant race. At least potentially. Reality they have to sell this game to humans.  Anyway how about this scenario. Humans are not the dominant race. Even worse from our PoV they have been restrained in some way.  If the world was Earth they are restricted to a geographic area and blocked from expanding. They rule something like Madagascar, UK, NZ, or at best an area like western Europe or east coast of America/Australia.  There's a race that's more advanced in technology/magic or reproduction. Perhaps they're plant based and don't like humans tendency to expand and consume.  Said race doesn't want to conquer humans but will defend itself and will easily win any conflicts.  The powers that be don't allow human colonists or citizens at best a relative few diplomatic embassies. There's either no room to colonize or any such colonies are treated as an act of war or banned by treaty.   So your thoughts on another race or races essentially blocking human expansion but otherwise no threat. The Human lands can be any government system, alignment, religion etc.  Going by our consumption patterns and human caused extinctions assume the other races are right at least from their PoV. Maybe their Druids can see the future. Human existence en masse is a long term threat to other races existence. If this goes well pt 2+ has some other scenarios I'm thinking of. Assuming other species might have completly alien minds or worldviews to our own.</blockquote>
