So after a while I decided to return to Dwarf Fortress.
I had previously (maybe year ago) created a custom skaven race for masterwork(6 castes, basically 3 with male and female alternatives).
Now after a quick check through masterwork files i found files for skaven but not actual skaven race.
What all i need to do to successfully combine it and make playable race?

It is a planned race for future updates. A warpstone based cavern race, with very high recuperation. To make it a playable race... that would be a large amount of work.

Also, wouldn't this require a bit of thought as to how it would work with the current Masterwork settings? As it currently stands, warpstone is disabled by default unless you turn on Harder Mining, isn't it? So surely a warpstone race would be broken without the warpstone needed to support it?

I may be playing Captain Obvious here, but that's just my tuppence.

What about not naming the race skaven cause it feels to warhammer'ish.

[Meph]

In that case I'll name the race Skaven, because warhammerish is exactly what its going to be.

HeriticUK: I didnt mean a playable race. Just as an enemy. They'll drop warpstone or warpstone items upon death. Doesnt matter if you have harder mining or not.

Ah okay, thank you for clearing that up, Meph. Have you given much thought to the race so far?

And I wholeheartedly agree with naming the race "Scaven".
