For me, I would like to play Master of Magic Mod or Master of Magic 2 Mod. Also a "boothill" style mod, a submarine warfare "You sunk my battle ship!" mod and any mod recreating the dnd/runequest experience.
What mods would you like to play, if made?
AD&D BIRTHRIGHT!!!!!
Master of magic, obviously (probably my favourite strategy game & the reason I found out about Elemental).
Apart from that, an interesting, original setting, NOT a cliche d&d fantasy standard; like steampunk, cyberpunk a la shadowrun, maybe based on Steven Erikson's works.
and also
You know what would be fun? A mod that turns the game into one that plays kind of like the old darklands from microprose.
^ this.
WWII mod
Valkyria Chronicles mod
Something like an XCom game but in a magical world.
I think making entirely new worlds are loads of more fun than recreating old ones. You should definitely take inspiration from others but not reuse everything they have.
I'd definitely try any mods that anyone makes, like we say in Sweden 'free is yummy'. But if I'd make anything it would be something new.
Reading all the suggestions here I got a wild idea about a post-apocalyptic steampunk world with science and magic. More crazy ideas anyone?
"Barbarian invasion"-esque mod. Tons of titan creatures attacking, slowly building up more and more.
A strategy game set in the Afterlife?
Solium Infernum ftw.
I'd very much like to see a Civ total conversion mod!
And a Mod based on the Dune books. If the mod was based on the Empire rather than on Arrakis itself, it would be interesting to use the Dynasty feature to portray the Bene Gesserit breeding program. Perhaps it would even be possible to mod in a Dynasty Victory Condition for the breeding of a Kwisatz Haderach? A mod focusing on just the planet Arrakis would be interesting as well.
I've got a mod idea left over from Civ4 that was never realized. I'm glad I never got past paper with it (gotta get back to learning Python). Elementals features fit the idea much better. It also happens to be a fantasy mod, but it's the Elemental features that make this game the superior platform.
*cough* Riftwar...Midkemia lends itself perfectly to this game. I am surprised nobody thought of this earlier...do you not remember Betrayal at Krondor? damn kids....
And definitely Discworld as well.
Two mods come to mind:
1. Empire of the Fading Suns - Different factions with Space battles and Adventuring on other worlds.
2. Romance of the three kingdoms - this one almost sounds easy.
Isn't this what we are already getting with Elemental, what would really be that different other than names and places? Not sure you could really add AD&D rules or want to?
I would love to see a good warhammer mod! I just really like the setting and lore of warhammer.
Warhammer 40k would be really good too, but I don't know how much you can do with the E:WoM-system...
aaaand I would love to see a classic dungeon crawler boardgame mod, like descent, runebound, heros quest etc.
the below list is a clipped version (i.e. I cut out the ones i am less interested in) from this post here by the way thanks kyogre12 for compiling it .

Dying Sun Created by: Wintersong Thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/380223/#2593916 Description: The mod uses the rules of the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition by Wizards of the Coast. It doesn't pretend to be some kind of total conversion mod due to: me being too newbie in the mod department (I'm looking at you too, AI) and fun factor being more important than proper implementations (as long as the mod stays in the D&D realm, that is).

these next suggestion are ones I would love to see...
firstly steampunk/ magic meets modern times:
this includes mods based on "Shadowrun" these are such a natural setting and dear god microsoft almost killed shadowrun with its horrible implementation of online only competitive fps version that lacked any real contection to the shadowrun universe.
"Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura"
This little gem by Trokia games was a great fun game picture a blending of middle age with a burgeoning technological clash. truly an interesting environment
Steve Jacksons GURPS (generic universal role playing system) resource books:
in particularly Deadlands: Weird West (The year is 1877. The place is the American West . . . but haunted by the forces of darkness. Undead gunslingers . . . hostile Indian spirits . . . strange cults . . . and, worst of all, the sinister Reckoners. The Civil War drags on, while federal agents and Texas Rangers struggle to deal with the eldritch menaces while hiding the awful truth from the public Back East.) I have always been fascinated with this resource book give it read any aspiring DM would find this a wild and interesting world which to explore...
Vikings
CyberPunk
or for that matter and of several of the Gurps books would make for an interesting setting for a mod.
I also think a mod based on Roger Zelanzy's Chronicles Amber
and these are just the mod ideas i would like to play that have been rattling around in my head LOL...
This interests me the most.
The dimension-hopping (creating?) mechanic is something I'd like to try. Whether it's feasible is TBD.
It would be very nice to play in the world of Robert Jordans: Wheel of Time!! WOT is epic adventure on the grand scale. Its my personal favorite. Book 12 Towers of Midnight is set to come out this fall (whohooo WOT and EWoM will make this a fine winter indeed). With the final book, A Memory of Light coming late next year. Its gonna take time and creativity to port that world into this game. Might as well start now. I think EWoM will do WOT well!
Anyone interested in seeing David Edding's World of Belgarion/Mallorean as a mod theme?
Dibs on Mothy Python And The Holy Grail!
LoL
Why not... Cuz we can! Thats why.
Well good news, myself and a friend will be doing this! No promises yet, but we are really looking forward to it
I want to do a Fallout mod. Maybe call it "Aftermath." The art style would seem to lend well to such a thing.
Mind Worms anyone?
I, too, would love a Wheel of Time mod... it's perfect. The lore refers to a "Breaking of the World" where the world is in a state not entirely unlike that of EWOM.
Men beginning to go mad channeling dangerous amounts of power, with the women with that power (although somewhat weaker) fighting to keep the world and civilization from being destroyed utterly. A culture of pacifists slowly falling from grace by the necessity of the dying land, and the noble Ogier slowly dying out from a Longing sickness caused by being torn from their beautiful Stedding... And ambitious people trying to make a place for themselves.

CthulhuTech is a universe screaming to be modded into a game:
...an innovative storytelling game that started out as a combination of two popular genres. The first was that of cosmic horror, made popular by H. P. Lovecraft and culminating in the modern day with elements of Mike Mignola’sHellboy and John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness. The second was that of giant mecha Japanese animation, made popular by such series as Robotech, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Rahxephon...
