OK so i start playing Adventure mode and i make a dwarf.
so i start and all i see is humans. Every time i start as any race

Is this a bug or do humans own the world or something because
I'd like to have some dwaven followers

The current version of the game unfortunately has only human settlements enabled

At the moment, sadly, settlements other than human towns do not exist outside of world generation, atleast without modding. In the next version, I believe, the new cities (which look absolutely amazing) will have some possibility of other races living in them, despite being predominantly human. The only current way to find dwarves in vanilla is if you stumble upon a band of dwarven bandits, which is quite rare.

One fairly simple, if not exacty ideal, fix is to go into the raws, the 'objects' folder, and then open the 'entity_default' file. The first entry there should be called 'MOUNTAIN'. Here are our dwarves!
Scroll down for quite a bit until you find a bit saying '[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:something]', and change it to say '[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CITY]'.
Then make a new world, and dwarves should be living in human-style towns. Hope that helps.

Neat! I did not know it was that easy to mod! Thanks!

Can't Find it in mountain

Hmm... Are you sure you scrolled far enough? It's a fair ways down.
If you can't see it, I'll have a look in a little while, just have to do something. I might be wrong or something.

[jrmy]

it's there. if it's not there, op, just re-download df.

edit: did you know this post is pointless? originally I was going to correct yoink's post because I thought he said the line was in creature_standard and I only noticed he was actually correct after posting. now I just look silly. aaaaugh.

[Yoink]

Naaah, your avatar makes up for it.

There may be more than just cities next release; Toady's given no indication when he'll let up on features. I think we all assumed it was ONLY going to be the city rewrite this release. 

Plus, there are Necromancer towers now, so perhaps Gobbos will get their towers back in vanilla? If not, I'm hoping the Necromancer towers are able to be modded as default city types for custom races and such.

Play the genesis mod for now, has settlements for a whole lot more races, dwarves included.

Huh. I tried adding the [BUILDS_OUTDOOR_FORTIFICATIONS] to the [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] section. I found no dwarf castles.
