When making my Rome Fortress mod I basically copy and pasted several of the modified entities (the civs; dwarves humans elves goblins kobolds), tinkered with them, then tested it. But I forgot to change [ADVENTURE_TIER:1] so they all had this same tag (rather than 1, 2, 3, etc as people say to do), and I could play it fine in adventurer mode as any of the civs even with them all set to 1. Does anyone know exactly what the tag does or is for? Obviously just having it means you can play as that civ in adventurer mode (since gobbos and kobolds don't have the tag), but what does the number represent? I read that it determines the order that the civs appear in when you go to play adventurer mode, but having them all as 1 seemed to work perfectly fine for me.

Has Toady ever explained it?

[ADVENTURE_TIER:?] allows you to set a civilization as playable in adventure mode. The number can go from 1 to 46 I think. Having all of the civilizations set to the same number will work fine most of the time, but it has been known to cause some strange bugs in the past.

That's all? Bah. Thought it did something more interesting. Thanks.

The number will just determine where they show up on the list.  The higher the number, the higher up on the list.

It can be nice if you want to organize your races for adventure mode.  Just adds an extra touch.

As has been said, adventure_tier is the order that civs appear in the list of playable 'races' in adventure mode.  The wiki mentions something about having them in order or something, but I'm pretty certain there is no real terrible problem with going out of order.
