I voted other, Lizardmen. And not just any lizardmen, Thorny Devil men http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorny_Devil.

A Desert dwelling race, with a special building to allow them to make water anywhere, for drinking or medical (plaster powder)

Now that, is interesting. I'll remember that for later if it doesn't win in poll. Also, if you want to vote for someone's other, just put your vote to other and post "so-and-so's idea" or something

Damn. I knew sleeping was a bad idea. I go to sleep and you guys have a debate over those damn elves lol.
Anyways, I've tried multiple ways of limiting the plants already, you can't remove it from embark/trade. You also can't remove it's biome tags. It won't grow. Thus, the only way, as far as Im aware, is to limit it's frequency and clustersize 0(Which I hope works)

Have you tried to restrict it to mountain or tundra?

Edit: Oh, if you're going to add all of those civs, please put them into different entity files. So user can add or remove only several of them.

If you restrict it to those biomes, they'd only grow in those biomes. And yeah, if all of those get added I'll either add a bunch of "-----------"
To make finding a race easy, or just using different files

Different files. Helps

Underwater civs are impossible because water is always counted as dangerous terrain, even if the creature needs water to live.

I know, that's why I'd end up having to give the creature the [AMPHIBIOUS] token. After I posted the poll I realized it wouldn't work 'cause buildings can't be build on/under water. However I left the option up there incase for some reason people(the few who play with this mod) wanted an AMPHIBIOUS creature.

How much changes in total with the new races you do ? Progress seems to be very fast, so I wonder if you even had the time to add sprites for each race, and nobles, and a somewhat different playstyle and custom buildings/reactions to them ?

Right now no races are 100% custom, they've all been preexisting races. Progress is fast because each update doesn't include much, and I don't really have much else to do. They're also usually not very playtested, but this will all change as soon as I put it in Beta. I do need to clean them all up in the next update.

They all change in their own ways. Like for example playing as Elves, you can't mine. So you have to adjust to building outdoor structures, and training a sizable military to be able to fend off a seige before any BUILDING_DESTROYER's come in and wreck the whole town. However playing as Antmen, you can do everything Dwarves can do, but there are multiple castes, so you have to do a lot of micromanagement on who does what. You also can have larger squads, so you can get militarily-creative with that.

[Meph]

Thanks for the answer. I am very curious about all this, because I am looking forward to do something similar and/or incorporating your changes if you permit it. I would however create sprites if they are missing and do custom buildings/reactions, at least a few to change the playstyle a bit more. Dont really know how much effort I will put into it, but I like the idea a lot. Opens up so many possibilities.

As the title says, this is an Alpha version. If you like the idea, create some civs for MW lol.

[Meph]

I will Or at least make the normal civs that already exist playable. But I really like your caste-idea for the antmen.

If you need any help with buildings designs or reactions, let me know

Mmm thank you for the offer lol, I already have Hugo as my personal modding slave lol. Oh, and if you go with the caste idea for something,  make sure you either A, change the tiles of each caste, B, add a different color to each caste(I'll be doing this for Antmen in the next update), or at minimum C, put the caste name in the description. Otherwise people wont know what creature is what caste.

Personal slave you say? Sanure is gonna be jealous.

Personal slave you say? Sanure is gonna be jealous.

If Sanure is gunna be jealous...
Oooooooooooooooooo I think there's some bromance goin' on back there x3
And btw, just to clarify things:

19:59   Toxicshadow   Wait no
19:59   Toxicshadow   You aren't my personal slave
19:59   Toxicshadow   You're my personal modding slave.
19:59   Toxicshadow   Which simply means you're a person whom I ask an excessive amount of questions to
19:59   Toxicshadow   In a form that makes it look like slave labor
