I apologize if this has been suggested before, but might perhaps we have alder trees introduced to the game? They would be a unique tree with special abilities, similar to the cedar and how it resists decay. In the same family as the Birch, traditionally Alder has been renowned as a Faery tree, one to use as a portal to the Fae realm. Flutes carved from the Alder were said to be more efficient in attracting the attention of Air Elementals. It would be interesting to work some of these aspects into the game through the use of Alder logs and/or planks. Furthermore, on a practical level the alder is used in underwater construction. Something to do with the way it hardens up and "steels" itself when in contact with water. The majority of the city of Venice is built upon pilings of alder wood for this very reason. In game Alder would be most beneficial for underwater constructions. I.e. docks of some sort, bridges, and more I'm sure. Just posting my thoughts as they come up. Maybe they are random or maybe they would be beneficial to others as well. Let me know your thoughts and how you might improve/expand on the idea!
