Yes, and alot of minor mythos creatures many people tend to ignore, like the beings from Yaddith and the inhabitance of Irem and sarnath.

Honestly, if you don't mind, if I ever get the free time, after your done, I might make a 'toned down' version where some of the stuff is imported into the regular, more streamlined Dwarf Fortress game, for those just wanting a Lovecraft flavor. I don't really know if I have the time or the skill, but it might be worthwhile as a companion mod. If you don't mind.

Sure, that would be fine

My best advice to you: Make it only Humans and Mythos creatures.
Why?
To stay in alignment with Lovecrafts vision.

Have fun!

I was planning on doing that at some point.

Noonononononono!!!

Don't make deep ones an entity!

Make them a creature. Give one caste the SPOUSE_CONVERTER and NIGHT_CREATURE_HUNTER tokens and another the CONVERTED_SPOUSE token. That way you can make amphibious deep ones who actually mate with and convert humans. If I understand it correct. It'll be awesome!

Cant a civilized creature have those tokens?

Hmmm... 

So, are you're going with the Azathoth == Atomic Bomb thing? 

Never did like that interpretation...

He isnt a literal nuke, he is just like a nuke in his destructive power, he is going to be extremely hot and going to cause some syndromes.

Yog-Sothoth is blatantly a hindu deity called Vishnu. Aside from the Lovecraftian dose of good ol' cosmic horror, if you actually follow the whole dream cycle (which is basically the epilogue to the mythos, as far as I'm concerned) you find out that all the intellectuals, the dreamers and the poets are bored aspects of Yog-Sothoth, who forgets who he is and lives lives because he's bored. It was all pretty much ripped verbatim out of hindu myths, which goes to show how absurdly educated Lovecraft was more then a half-century before any -concept- of the internet. Hell, most people alive now wouldn't know the stuff he knew.

Maybe I should add a male and female visionary caste to humans, they will be called "humans" in game but they will have more creativity and stuff.
Also I was going to make a Yithian caste for all races.
