For quite some time now the civilizations can be multi-racial - the most common example would be the townie elves. The suggestion is quite simple: to allow the player to play with any (intelligent) race the civilization is composed of.

Then we could play with a townie elf, who had acess to human culture and technology, for example.

You would need those races to have a certain population within that civilisation as well as have a certain level of intelligence and civilisation concepts in the case of non-melting pot societies.

i still like the idea of being able to be an elven crossbowman, or a dwarf who starts with a scimitar. maybe even a human, or goblin with steel armor.

I think the plan is that you'll be able to take over a character from worldgen. So it sounds like this will become possible eventually.

Planned. One talk or another talked about this. Fortresses would have multi-cultural migrants coming in.

But now that this idea has been resurrected, I would like to see a [NO_EMIGRANT] and a [NO_IMMIGRANT] tag or something that prevents the entity from taking in foreign immigrants or allow people to emigrant to another country. Corrosion could be seriously messed up if a human goes to a zombie civ or a zombie goes to a human civ.

Well ethics and natural hatred can deal with that. As well the inability to survive in that civ should also handle it on its own.

If a civilisation of intelligent zombies for some reason turned out not to be jerks... what is reall stopping them?

[antymattar]

that will never happen.

[Neonivek]

that will never happen.

What wont?

[TooBad]

Dwarves shouldn't have to give up a part of their cultural identity to wield scimitars. As if scimitars are an integral part of an entitie's culture anyways.

Currently, no they can't. Assuming they could, and assuming they were airtight. I would support this idea.

Corrosion is a post-apocalyptic rebuilding phase and zombies are brainless predators. Basically I've never seen a full on zombie join a human in a serious zombie movie, so I would rather not do it. Also because the creator of the mod doesn't want to.
