I think that surface animal people should form tribes on occasion. Something like "The Tiger Men in The Scaly Forest united under a strong leader." They wouldn't be civs like the underground animal people(due to being recent creations), just groups like bandits.

 They could be recruited as mercenaries or gladiators.

I think there plans already in place for an independent group to more-or-less spontaneously form a new civ under the right conditions.  It remains to be seen if the responsibility of actually running a city-state moderate their ethics and values.

But this is about animal people spontaneously forming a group. The forming a civ one would be a related idea,

Right, with a strong leader type, a cluster of similar individuals (at first, probably restricted to the same intelligent species) spontaneously form a group.  With some time and success, the group evolves into a civ.

Dawn of Civilization, and after year 1.

Would probably need entities in the raws to serve as templates, with tags that prevent them from being placed in the initial wave.  Normal entities could be templates as well.

So will you tiger man start a bandit nation, or a land of honor duels, or a babysnatching band of brutes, or ... ?

That would be determined by the leaders personality. A strong leader has influence over his people. Same with gods. Could be anything from a titan, to a mythical being, to your adventurer, to the founding ruler.

I look forward to a time when we must worry that one day, from the Eastern steppes, a single young man shall unite the tribes, and form a mighty Tigerman Horde whose feared markstigerman-on-giant-tiger cavalry sweeps through all the lands of men and dwarves...

To be honest, I've been hoping for something where we could actually "adopt" beast-people into our forts for a LONG time.  (I even had a mod a while back where castes were used to make dwarves interbred with four other races, including minotaurs, spider-people, and snake-people.)  Most of them are short-lived and have nothing special in terms of stats or skills, but with modding, they can be interesting...

The tigermen I mentioned are friendly to Dwarves, but hate Elves. Just to have something exclusively hostile to elves.

The entire race of players seems to be unswervingly hostile to elves

Yes but we aren't exclusive. We play the field.
