Should humans get several civs, based on RL civs? (Asian/Western/Arabic/etc) Only one would be active by default, but players can chose to enable more or play as different ones.

Yes, please give us Vikings and Ninjas and Knights.
Yes, but only if it doesnt take too much work.
Maybe better to only make one civ, as close to vanilla DF humans as possible.
Maybe better to only make one civ, as close to MDF humans as possible.
No, I dont like it because it doesnt fit a procedually generated fantasy world.
No, I dont like it, because... (please post the reasons)

Is it normal to have a human diplomat that won't leave? It says that he's here to "relax" as well, but he's been doing so for a while. He's already met and concluded meetings with leader.

Diplomats in the new version seem to stick around longer - around a year or so.

today I noticed that Weapon merchant stall - "sell battle pick" can also use (sell) halberds and spears. Not sure about other weapon types.

War kennels are very disappointing.  I was expecting something more in line with the old gnome system, instead I just get an untamed dog that interrupts everyone. Correction, starts fights with everyone.  And then dies.

I'd rather have easier fertilizer from the farmer's guild than wild dogs.  Only using that guild to convert farmers into better farmers.

Screwpress will become useful once I start working on library.  Wicker is meh as long as there is wood around.  It can be useful in some situations.  Herbalist is okay, though I never bother with poisons except with bolds.  Haven't built it yet so don't know if there are options for fighting disease there.  If so it's a LOT more interesting and useful.

War kennels are a gaping hole at present.  They need a lot of work, or need to be replaced.

Edit:  On reflection the advantage to the War Kennel COULD be that it's much faster than breeding.  But that assumes the output is tamed dogs, not wild ones.  I'd suggest a bone or several bones instead of a toy though.  The meat, chain, and cage inputs are fine.  Even better would be if the output was war dogs.  They could be neuter also.

Of course, if the plan is for a more robust system like the old gnome one...

The plan was indeed to train combat skills of animals and to put armors on them, but I needed to wait for Roses scripts to finish. I think by now I should be able to do those.

Compensate for the negative from the rain with an equal or greater positive.  Or use burrows to keep them indoors when it rains?  You could roof over most of the area at least your artisans stay in.  Can't do much about woodchoppers, etc.

I generally go for decent rooms, a super tavern, etc.  I should look into temple too.  And put some nice furnishings along the main paths (master sculptures, etc.)  And sometimes I flat cheat  ;)  (remove-stress in dfhack window while a humie is selected.}

Well I had the oddest time with a merchant stall today... I had a very dwarfy human going through a fey mood wanting yarn thread.... just stating that none of the merchant stall purchased cloth or thread was acceptable.  I couldn't even deconstruct it or sell it back, nor could I get anyone else to use it...

Personal suggestion instead of generic no source material, put out say reed thread/cloth, Llama yarn/cloth, cave spider silk thread/cloth.... the game seems to have a hard time accepting that certain hair is wool, if it doesn't have an associated wool bearing animal....

Can humans do anything with hidden gems? I've noticed they don't have Tributes, and I can't seem to sell them either. Is it worth investing in an alchemy guild for all these hidden garnets or should I just save them for moods?

So, question, will humans be getting non-"hero" combat castes? I'm just curious, cause from what I read, they used to have an upgrade system for knights of some sort, but it was scrapped because of some issues with it or something; the 5 fighting ones also seem to be more geared for adventure mode or something, rather than fort mode. I'd be happy with just two, since they seem like they might be gimped for nonstatic defense with harder learning on.

I can easily add some, but so far you are the only person to request it.

If I ever make a human-focused update, I probably add them. :)

Am I really? I figured other people would have noticed they didn't really have joinable analogues for the other races' combat castes.  :-\

My suggestion then would be a State Army enlistment building with Armsmen to do melee stuff and Marksmen for ranged fighting along with  of course, using gold to bulk-order shipments of equipment for your new State Infantrymen (which a small chance of not succeeding, to represent lost, stolen, or misfiled orders.)

Perhaps sets of armor divided into simple, basic, and elite (buying cheap sets of helmets, mail, and leather armor, fairly priced sets of full regular armor, and sets of very expensive/extortionately priced plate armor.) In addition to a bulk order of standardized bronze or iron spears, axes, and crossbows - the weapons of the common man. It'd also be a good money sink if you have everything you feasibly need but your militia/mineral wealth is lacking.

While we're on the topic of a human focused thing, I'd also advise having actual values instead of leaving the variable setting, probably with an emphasis on craftsmanship, commerce, and skill at arms (good products sell for more and good soldiers are needed to protect caravans and investments; the fact humans are also almost always at war with someone somewhere in a given world-gen would make that fit.)

Heh, i almost expected the workers to be distinguished between white (office traditionally), blue (manual labour) and pink (customer service & entertainment) collar workers portrayed literally in colored rags. Looking good though.
