I am looking for a mod that does not change DF's mechanics at all, but simply introduces new hostile creature civs.

I remember like a year and a half ago I had an Orc mod for DF, they were basically stronger goblins that would siege you starting the very first summer.

I miss that type of military challenge to keep me entertained.

Any good ones around?

Or can someone point me towards a quick tutorial towards turning regular creatures into a civ?  I'd like a Whale civ, I think.

fortress defense, adds new hostile civs and that is all i think

The animal men are civ-viable, what you need to do is make new evil entities that use their creature ID. So copy the goblin's [ENTITY:EVIL] entry from entity_default.txt and change this:

[ENTITY:EVIL]
   [CREATURE:GOBLIN]

to this

[ENTITY:EVIL_WHALES]
   [CREATURE:SPERM_WHALE_MAN]

Or whichever animal men you want to use.

You might also want to look at other tags, including the weapons and armour permissions(whale men with whips and scourges will bring loadsa Fun), and these:

   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:3]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE:0]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE_SIEGE:0]

See more at the wiki, but basically 1 is almost immediate and 5 means they only appear when you're effectively invincible. There are a lot of other things you can change for flavour, so have a look on the wiki.
