Different Civs - How To Start Playing?
« on: August 16, 2015, 02:58:06 pm »

So I was wanting to play kobolds, and so I checked the check mark to the right of "Kobolds" and underneath "Fort."  This did not allow me to play as kobolds.

So I genned a new world.

This did not allow me to play as kobolds.  In fact, even though I unchecked all the "Fort" checks for everything but kobolds, I, in fact, was given dwarves.

So how do I play as something besides dwarves or gnomes?  (Gnomes appear to be the default.)

I know, it just doesn't show any kobold civs.  Just succubi and dwarves.

Edit: I tried it again, with a smaller world and very short worldgen, just to make it faster.  I am only able to play as succubi.  But I didn't even allow succubi to be active!  Something's wrong here!

Edit: I enabled every civ possible to exist, and all that were possible to play in fort mode, I enabled for that.  I genned a large world to hold them all.  I can play as gnomes, succubi, or dwarves.

Edit: Large world, very short history, only normal civs and such, only kobolds enabled for fort mode, only dwarves and succubi actually able to be played.  Repeat: No Succubi Enabled, yet they still exist!  Am I correct in assuming that when I change a setting before I start up the real DF window, that setting is in effect when I make a worldgen?  Or is there some sort of "save setting" button?

Ummm...  It says version 2.6.0.0?  Oh, I see it.  Reborn.  Should I try stable, see if that works?

Reborn is in early stages of development (version 0.006).  I don't know for sure, but you're probably seeing all the races that exist there.  Embarks as all races will work properly in the stable version.

So where do I get the stable version?  I can only see Reborn on this forum, I think?

Edit: Wait, there it is.  But it's in .7z, and I can't open that.  I guess I'll just stick to vanilla for now.  I've always felt like the universe was against me playing as kobolds.

and unless it got changed while i wasnt looking,Kobolds have their Default_Site as Cave,which prevents them from showing up on the Civ list,just change it to City.

Civs are wiped out easily on reborn, if you can't get your desired race, you can try a shorter history.

It was changed. In Masterwork they have towns.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

I have reborn and had no issues with getting kobold city as playable. But i usually use short histories also (30years or less).

My guess in your world is that megabeasts destroyed them.

I just found a barrel which contained a wheelbarrow. Inside the wheelbarrow was another barrel. I don't even understand how that is possible.
