funny it's the semi transparent background that messes up for me. everything is a blaring contrast between colors as the game wants to solidly color in everything it sees.

of course i already edited the background out and everything is fine.

Did you mess with the SELECT_SYMBOL tags?  I believe names are determined by SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING.

didn't do anything, still have nameless immigrants, but literally everything else have names (still).

No names? sounds like what happens when you remove CAN_SPEAK from a creature.

all my civ's (and humanoid creatures) have [INTELLIGENT] which implies [CAN_SPEAK], [CAN_LEARN], and [CAN_CIV]

are getting annoying. playing as modded/non-dwarf civ and any new immigrants lack names. everything else such as towns, biomes, founders, and civilizations, all have names. everythign works just fine though so it's minor but extremely annoying.

doubt it has anything to due with a missing lang tag as when there isn't one the custom civ's use random one by default if missing the tag.

This.  If digging enemies give me a reasonable chance to organize my army, fight off the non-digiging enemies, then go after the diggers, then I doubt anyone would have a problem with this, as it definitely adds depth and interest to battles.

What we don't want is one group of goblins walking through walls straight to the workshop floor while we're still fighting off the other group at the fortress entrance.  But as I said, I really doubt this will be the case.

that or (sadly) might have another type of "ninja" class, we already have thiefs but they run away and a digging could, though unrealistic, be invisible to awareness or detection.

semi related note but this might enable possible "digging without a tool" or a body part that can function as a digging tool. which would actually help some realisms, roleplay, and modding.

Awesome, where can i get the actual mods that work with this charsets and works with mayday or any other god tileset?

the arthor of these graphics already said that the custom civilizations need to me made personally.  as for the mayday i'd suggest making a new GRAPHICS_<name>.txt file then copy from the .txt files from here and paste to the new file. copy mayday's first then use that one as like a template of place holder but be careful if you want to use both i'd had to edit (picture based copy pasting through an image edit tool) to not have any overwriting or keep which ones i wanted to use.

example:image is example if image based copy-paste mixing the two. both actually used same reference so i just "kept" chariot's image file and replaced (covered up if referring to the edit process) the thief classes with mayday's.
the code text is example of using a bigger single file then linking proper image and directories. key point is where it says [FILE: <location> ] then everything will be good.

of course always backup but in the case of the text files, just move them out of the raw/graphics folder while keeping the new single .txt file.

The only way to make civilizations have multiple creatures of different races is to make them babysnatchers.

Which, note, has no bearing on playing that race in fort mode.

I think what you are looking for will be part of the caste system in the next version.  Currently it is used to divide up males and females, but supposedly other arrangements are possible.

thats very nice to know, just hope i don't get too impatient waiting for the upcoming feature. also full renaming of jobs i heard was possible in coming update which would also  help this topic. everything is set, done, and clean except for a tile-set or graphics for jobs.
