Nope. How many leaders it has currently has absolutely no importance. you get awesome fighters of whatever race no matte what and they come just as often. Only benefit to having fewer civ leaders is that most civ leaders are good at fighting, so if they're all dead, you may have an easier time during particularly large sieges.

Alright thanks you answered my question perfectly

Bump because I've only been ambushed twice in like 4 years. I have like almost 90 population and 5 goblins every 2 years isn't fun.

Entity_default - copy the "PERMITTED REACTION: STEEL_MAKING" to human entity and whatever you need.

Ok so I added the permitted reactions from the dwarven civ to the human civ. I don't see any plain old iron reaction. How do I make it so they will use iron as well?

Have you regen and created new world from scratch? If i am not mistaken, it will appear only when YOU play as human.

I made a new world and humans do in fact now use steel. But still no sign of Iron.

How do I make it so they use Iron and steel? I made a human fortress, I just added the dwarf positions to the human entity while just changing the names. After playing I noticed that I can't get an anvil from the starting setup or get a anvil from human caravans. And in adventure mode, humans only use bronze which is horrible.

How do I make it so they use iron and steel? And if so, will I have to regen the world, and restart my game in order for them to use iron?

Probably

Mainly because when I was trying to get a friend into the game, explaining irrigation for farms was an absolute a pain. Plus It's a bit easier I think.

Any hope for a release before February?

Is it normal to go my first year with no orcs?

You mentioned some thing about a "play combat" and "combat" option when sparring. My question is can you toggle this on and off in game or on and off in the raws? So for an example you can make a squad of 2 dwarves and have them fight all out in an arena or some thing? And if it's not in the game its self, can you add it please?

You'll be able to do stuff like that in the combat testing arena.  I doubt he would add such a goofy option to the game itself.

Well I think having the option for a fight to the death fight between heroes of the fort especially if your playing a barbaric race like goblins or what not will be pretty entertaining. Or if your putting your military though intense training and you want the weak to die and the strong to live. I mean, it might be a silly idea, but me and many others will probably use it to stir some action around the fort between sieges.
