Are there any mods in particular that introduce the Drow as a hostile civilization akin to both elves and goblins as a subterranian civilization? Preferably as somewhat of a major, threatening race.

playable or hostile as you want them

Oooh nice, thanks! Though I'm not hugely fond of the idea of actually.. "Playing" a drow.. as.. who'd want to play an Elf.. I still am going to have to try this mod.  Certainly is easier than trying to mod them in myself.  Which I've been trying, though this one certainly looks well-done enough, and it'll save me the trouble of messing up over and over.

you simply can mod the entity file all important tags are on top (also see readme)

just delete the brackets of CIV_CONTROLABLE to make them not playable and add them to  BABY_SNATCHER to have them on defaulted warlike state with other civs

Oh so thats why the Drow I modded in are peaceful to me right now.. I'll have to change that.  XD  Though I'm wondering right now if they'll send caravans.. testing it now.

drow (as with humans) would be at peace without baby_snatcher but (as with humans, just even more so) will declare war if you are rich an dont trade with them enough. with baby_snatcher they will be on par with the goblins and while not directly on war will send snatcher and ambusher regulary, until you are rich (and cant trade with them) thats then the sieges start too

[Crustypeanut]

Well, I would prefer the drow to have a much more powerful civilization than that of the goblins, on par with Dwarves.  It would also be nice to make it so that they aren't always at war with everyone, but favor war over diplomacy.

[Rhenaya]

then you simply use my mod and dont add the baby snatcher tag :p they are still warmongers, i have very often war with dwarfs from embark on (well still have to genereate a few worlds and look around, but much more often as with dwarfs and elves)

also...

drows my look like elves, but they arent some filthy treehuggers! drow are nearly as awesome as dwarfs (just nearly but still!)

Been using Rhenaya's mod for awhile as a supplement to the Civ Forge / Genesis mishmosh I use for my basic game, it's a great addition.

Well, actually, I've come up with an even better solution than Drow.  Though I will be putting your Drow in the mod i'm making, they won't be playable.  However, they will be an important trade partner to the new.. EVIL DWARVES! Also known as Duergar, they will be the alternative playable race.  Though.. for now they play almost exactly like normal dwarves, minus the fact that humans, elves, and other dwarves are at war with them, while goblins are currently at peace.  However, I haven't gotten around to making goblins send trade caravans.. not sure how to, but I'm looking into it.

Duergar are also a bit more... ethically skewed than normal dwarves, though by all standards, thats still not saying much.  I'm thinking about putting some kind of caste system in with them, but I haven't decided on the details on that yet.
