Well the idea is pretty simple to implement i think.

The raws get a new tag:
[CROSSBREED:FEMALE:MALE]
this tag is inside the entry that will outcome
for example the mule gets an:
[CROSSBREED:HORSE:DONKEY]


or a new entry for halfelves could be (need both as it goes both ways)
[CROSSBREED:HUMAN:ELF]
[CROSSBREED:ELF:HUMAN]


also some female only races could get such a tag to reproduce (violently) like harpies (or as something new succubus?)
[CROSSBREED:HARPY:HUMAN]
[CROSSBREED:HARPY:ELF]
[CROSSBREED:HARPY:GOBLIN]
[CROSSBREED:HARPY:HALFELF]
as those creatures will most likely encounter violently only there is a chance they reproduce on raids or something.


this could make something new and interesting, as for example if humans conquer the elves they can crossbreed with them and some of the nation will become halfelves too, meaning if such tags exists, such lifeforms may get married in civ entities too.

i know this idea could be suggested before, but tahts the simple idea to include them into the tags:

Added entry to the eternal suggestion voting for "Crossbreeding"

Great idea! I've always wanted to have crossbreeding creatures! (not because of that >.>)

[Pilsu]

The spore-based breeding needs to be gotten rid of if horses and donkeys start interbreeding.

Hmm. Having a fortress of useless mules is not fun.

[Rhenaya]

you can butcher them, its not useless at all :p

Here's an older thread with a lot of discussion on this topic.  Here's an interesting list of suggested reproduction-related tags.  Here's a Threetoe story involving crossbreeding, and another.

Placing the tag in the hybrid's creature definition, instead of the parent's, is an interesting idea.  I'm not sure if that's been suggested before.  Might be easier to keep track of that way.

i know there are others around, but mine is simple and a littlte different :p to make it more possible for hybrid creations like the harpy or the mule (which is just male donkey/female horese, the other way around is called "hinny" and quite different from the mule)

and yes its easiert to keep track if you see in the hybrid what parents are allwoed instead the other way around :p

I would love this simply for the possibilities it would open up:

Multi-gendered species? easy!
Giant Carpelepheagles? yep!
Tentacle Demons with corrupt intentions? hell yeah!
Parasitic cavern monsters? check!
Dwarfelves.... OHGODTHEHORROR!!

Ideas for multi-gendered species:
