hello everyone. finally sat down to play dwarf fortress again after sitting out awhile.

i used to play with an an female race of dwarves before and everything was peachy but after downloading the new version and applying mods, it wont work now. world generation ends up stoping at "No controllable entity definitions available"

i have tried making the race live longer than the world generation, i have tried making the race start with high numbers, i have tried giving them 3 times the normal damage block. i'm out of ideas.

maybe i could get some help from the mod fourms? *big kitty eyes*

You're gonna have to make them immortal, since they're never going to reproduce.

No, just remove the [AGE:X:Y] tag.

You could also consider giving them 100 DAMBLOCK for world gen, then changing it back to normal when you want to play. That should nearly guarantee their survivability in wars without spoiling what little challenge there is in the game.

Is there anything supported except 2 sex sexual reproduction?

Except.. not really.
As it is now, survivability is guaranteed only by being lucky with the RNG.
The bonuses for DAMBLOCK and such are not counted nearly as much as they should be.
I assume it'll be fixed in next release, but until then...
This is also the reason megabeasts die out so quickly in worldgen now.

Damblock 10000, then. So long as it's counted at all, it's simply a matter of making it absurdly high enough.

If you do want them to sruvive and do not really care about lenght of worldgen, then just set it to 20 years or so. Then you even do not have to make thme immortal

I am interested in one thing - can only female race have male god?

Sure, make a [MALE] creature with the [POWER] tag, and give the female entity [RELIGION:ANY_APPROPRIATE_POWER]. Just make sure they have aligned spheres.
