Yes, through the CREATURE_CLASS tag, which you can define however you want in the creature file, and then the ANIMAL tag in the entity raws. Label the creature class as ALWAYS_PRESENT under the ANIMAL tag and bam the civ has the animals.

Semi-related to FantasticDorf's question above, but referring to the previously noted lack of pushback by demons and druids on organized religions converting those in their sphere for goblins and elves respectively. Is tackling this in the works for the initial release or has it been pushed to a related release after the main villains release?

Please pardon my adding another question to the mix, but how does one go about adding additional food items? Such as for example types of bread or other foods made from the ingredients available in the game.

You can add them via the food item types, there's one vanilla file in the raws for that and some info on the wiki about it, but dwarves will throw whatever ingredients they wanting them, so they'll make stuff like leopard tallow and sand pear bread. Made solely from tallow and pears. So it'll always be wonky and you can't specify ingredients for recipes except by making reactions that make specific material+item types combos.

I see. The first instance sounds incredibly dorfy though I will admit. XD

EDIT: I'm also wondering where in the files the food reactions are because all I can find are the food item raws.

No problem man.

That probably helps, yeah.

@EternalCaveDragon: It would be hard for a Were to implement any schemes since the phase where they can spread the curse (i.e. the Were phase) is one where they're completely overcome by rage, and thus unable to implement anything they might have planned. The problem is similar to that of sapient undead who are Opposed to Life (if that's how Toady implements them): the urge overpowers any plans.

They can still ensure they're in a position for maximum spread of infection prior to the full moon and then move on afterward. It's a simplistic and haphazard plan but it's still planning that they'd be plenty capable of when in their non-were form.

EDIT: On second thought, I'll withdraw this suggestion. It wasn't that good after I had some time to think on it.
