Hi to everyone.
I have an idea what I always wanted to see in DF. [ I am not sure that this is moddable or not ]
So I would like to see not just animals on the maps, but beasts also [much more fantastic/fantasy creatures]. I would also like to have an option to tame them and train them to warbeasts.
I doubt that these can be added in with modding, but who knows.

Actually, adding creatures (and making them tamable) are some of the easiest and most common DF mods... check out http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/New_Creatures and http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Creature_Tokens

wow I didnt knew about this.
..but the question is, do these beasts what we create will appear on the map what we play on? How is this working?

I believe the Biome tokens in the creature definition determine where your creatures will be found.  Lacking any biome tokens, I think other tokens like [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and [LARGE_ROAMING] might cause them to show up... I don't know for sure, as I haven't done much modding.  The creature definition language is kind of delicate in that some tags do unexpected things in-game.  Your best bet is to find a similar creature that someone else made (or exists in the game data files) and copy it, then change it the way you want.

I believe you have to regenerate your world in order to make the new creatures available.

You can tame next to anything with the dungeon master. Then the trick is getting the thing on your map\catching it. (Unicorns seem pretty common in good maps)
