I think i might have figured out how to have a race be mono-gender and still be able to have children. i'll be checking this extensively for the next couple of hours. and ill have a verdict out after my tests

EDIT: After much testing, I have given up. I just can't figure out how to make it work -sigh- I shall now use my resources on making things explode...

A potential work might exist through interactions. For example if you wanted an all female species then you could have them have two identical castes, one female and one male. Then give the male caste an interaction that instantly turns them into the female caste on sight. Then in any interactions with them you would only meet female ones, but they would still be able to breed and survive in world generation.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

2. Not sure what you mean by "material_name" what example are you looking at?

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:<material_name>:<template_name>]

Oh

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:<material_name>:<template_name>]

is just the custom name/ID you use. like:

[BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:<material_name>:<state>]

so if you used
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CLAW:BLOOD_TEMPLATE]

it would be
[BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:CLAW:LIQUID]

just think of it as trying to define a whole new material within the creature
[MATERIAL:<material_name>]

Also it should say <custom_material_id> not <material_name> very misleading

Is there a way to make only a specific caste became a monarch of a civ?
Like, if i have red, green, blue and black dwarves, i want to make it so, that only the red caste dwarf can become a leader of civilisation.
I found that noble positions can be limited by gender, but is this also possible?

It WAS possible, but as far as I know it doesn't work right now.

Couldn't you add [ALLOWED_CLASS:x] to the position and [CREATURE_CLASS:x] to the caste?

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

Works for Fortress Mode, but Worldgen still takes any aviable creature to fit the slot.
SO say only CREATURE_CLASS:DOCTOR can be a chied medic. SO in fortress mode only a creature/caste that is DOCTOR can be appointed there. But Worldgen doesn't care

While modding I accidentally over looked what it was I was modifying and made humans a female dominated race... I am now intrigued at what this will do to a new genned world

Congratulations, you just made the Amazons. Do they find slavery acceptable?

Just tested it, and it works, so leader caste is now possible :)
Though i found another issue with this: My custom race have 3 castes (male and female version for each, so 6 in total), basically worker, soldier and ruler, all getting better stats than the one before, as well as being more rare. During the test, as well as while playing before i noticed that my civ members prefer to mate with members of the same caste as themselves. I am not sure if this is just coincidence or not, but result is, due the rarity of the ruler caste (and maybe as well as monarch position being further limited to males only), they rarely marry and have children, even when theirs lifespan is not limited by age (just rulers, lesser castes live around 30-80 years).
Although, now that i think about it, even if they would marry and have children and even though they got increased birth rate, odds of suitable heir being born are roughly 1 from 60 kids, thus, chance for prevalent ruling dynasty is very small.
Seems like i trapped myself with too many requirements....
