Earthguard Race Creativity - Not Human-like dudes

Walpurgis - Harshlands

The title says it all.... CREATIVITY. Why the new Earthguard race looks like human? Human is already an old race in PWI. The only difference between human and earthguard is that EG has a glowing gem between the eyes, other than that, its a plain human able to role 2 different classes.....

Why not make the EG race look like... lets see. Lets make a relationship between the name Earthguard and the 2 new classes (Mystic/seeker) and the capabilities of each class and the storyline of this new expansion... OH what we got here? is it something like GAIA? the Mother Nature/Earth in Greek Mythology!!! isn't this nice? the race Earthguard could possibly look like a servant of Gaia, some golem/nature-like creature. For the sake of a good game, dont make a second human race, it just doesnt make sense.

All opinions and ideas are very welcome
