Given the Army Arc's completion I don't think we have to worry about it too much.  However we won't see trade/ambush from those other 4 until the end of the Caravan Arc.

But in the event that it's not planned I'd like to toss a vote out for it.

He said the number of civs would be settable in the init file.

<STRONG>Guys I was always wondering, that why is there only a few civs in DF. Right now we have dwarves, goblins, humans and elves.
I think we definitely need more races. yes we can make mods and add new civs, however those will replace an existing civilization. [afaik] I think the number of civs must expand, or at least allow the modders to add new civs without replace an existing civilization. 1 evil race [goblins] just wont be enough, especially after the military arc will be completed. I would like to see at least 8 civs in my games.

An alternative to additional civs would be variants of the races we have: barbarians, empires, reclusive isolationists, expansionist militants, religious zealots, mercantile traders, good/bright vs evil/dark etc etc. If a civ is not only distinguished by race, but also by a number of parameters and factions, then the situation could be really diversified.

Another thing might be to determine which races(or groups of a given race, if the map holds more than one) rise to civilization and which remain barbarian/hunter-gatherer, along with variations in alignment - all random, but weighted by fields in the race's raws.
