Multy Races in one Civ
« on: October 13, 2010, 02:56:10 am »

Ok theres not not much about modding I dont understand but i might need help with this one.
Is it at all possible to get Two complete Races like full on elves and dwarfs to share a Civ.
I have a theory involving Sub Classes but its untested and Spotty at best.

Not really. You should be able to specify multiple creatures for a single civ, but then the game will just pick one of them at random for each civ it generates. You can use creature classes to set up different sets of nobles depending on which creature is selected, but you can't change much else - equipment, symbols, ethics and such will have to stay the way they are.

The best you can do is create the many races as castes of one single creature.

This leads to the obvious problem that you can't separate genetically distinct individuals (e.g. minotaurs and lizardmen) that are in the same creature.

well there still friendship utility where you can embark with elves and dwarfs but the kicker is that the embark is only for the early editions and the only other way to get elves is if you slap pet and buy them the remove the pet tag.

It works fine if you set each "race" as a different caste, as long as you are ok with dragons and dwarves interbreeding to have elven babies. :P
