Slightly frustrated - Choosing Race on Embark
« on: April 03, 2015, 11:40:08 am »
I'm new to masterwork.  I got into dwarf fortress while it was far underway and it's taking me a while to catch up to all you Dwarven Nobles.  Right now I'm taking advantage of the new Masterwork.  When I'm choosing my civilization I want to know which race I'm starting with.  I noticed the tiles change as I scroll through them but other than making assumptions by reading the names it's usually a shot in the dark.  Is there a better way to choose race?

thanks,
crustie

If you know in advance (before worldgen) what you want to play you can also set playable races in the GUI civilization page (it's the "fort" column).
