Hello, today I'm releasing an early alpha version of an ambitious mod in progress. This mod (PlayableCiv+) is meant to give you a little bit more of a variety on whom you play as, rather than the same old drunk dwarfs and
nobles. Rather than making it a total conversion mod where it includes everything in your possible imagination and more, it's going to focus on playable races themselves. I also aim for this to be more of an expansion mod, and limiting file replacing. But of course it will include some custom buildings and weapons and such... for variety in races. They will be full races, with languages and all.
Elves:Elves are those pointy-earred, tree hugging, small archers who get angry and raid you every time you offer something wooden to them. If you don't know who they are, well.... somethings wrong.

Elves no longer have access to Axes, so they can't chop trees down
(see Racial Features for alternative) However woodcutting is still in the raws incase you need to remove some trees if the amount of trees becomes too great. They're also Expert archers. Elves wont mine, its not their style. They also have woodburning for the potash to fertilize crops, however woodburning is looked down upon by most of the elven society.

I would strongly advise a temperate, flat, forest. You'll need LOADS of wood. I would also suggest a brook, as Elves are not alcohol dependent, they are fine with drinking water, so long as it isn't salty/contaminated.
This is a basic city layout, it works. It doesn't include defense however. All I can suggest is make use of your archers. Also, with the houses, unless you want a hundred thousand houses, I'd recommend a total of 4 beds in each house. 1 In each corner. Make all of them their own separate bedroom.(They can overlap) This will cut your space usage and land to protect to 1/4th. Please note though, these are only suggestions, you can do anything you'd like. (As long as it's above ground, Elves wont mine)
First, Elves make the best archers you will find, and to go with that, they get their own special bow- the Long bow.
The longbow has more force to it, and thus more power. It also takes more to make however, as they are quite large.
To go with this, Elves can also create cloth quivers at a craftsman workshop.
Next Elves also get a special workshop called the Bark Workshop. Elves have learned to use every part of the tree, and since bark is useless as fuel or construction material, why not make armor out of it? Advances in backwoods redneck thinking science have led to Wooden Armor. At the Bark Workshop, Elves can make wooden armor. This is made from 1 log and is used by Elves with the Wood Crafting skill.
Elves also can build a Tree Altar, where they can 'pray' for gifts.
Then, since Elves need to use some melee, they have access to Scimitars.
With the discovery of tree farming, Elves have, once again, put themselves ahead of other societies in that, when you processed a farmed tree at an Elven Magic Wood Extractor, there is a high chance of getting an extra log, as well as an extra seed.
Elves have also been gifted with magical plants that grow strands of metal in them. These plants may have their strands extracted and processed into a metal bar which can then be used for smithing. However the only metallic plants that they currently have are Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Platinum, Iron, and rumors have been heard about a legendary Elven village with Adamantine plants.
Next is the first custom race:
Satyrs:
Satyrs are: "A medium-sized humanoid with the horns and legs of a goat."
Despite their looks they're actually under the Good alignment, and aren't bandits. They survive of mostly hunting, but farming is always an option.
Go to the Nobles page, appoint a Warparty Leader from there. Then you can go to the Military screen and create a squad under him.

The Expedition Leader is simply there to make sure the Satyrs get to the new site safely and without ambush. He also appoints Warparty Leaders.
Quantity: 1 (Only 1 needed)
Responsibilities: Meet Workers, Receive Diplomats
Satyrs favor axes, and thus are granted use of the Great Axe, as well as the standard battle axe. They also use Morning Stars, Flails, and Whips.
In terms of ranged combat they use Slings and thrown Javelins.
Both Slings and Javelins improve the Thrown skill, so Satyrs make excellent throw-boulder-of-tower-wall-and-into-giant-pile-of-goblin, men.
The main downside to Satyrs is that they can't make or operate siege equipment due to their primitiveness.
Antmen:Warning: When playing as Antmen, expect a lot of micromanagement, you're going to be setting a lot of custom professions. USE DWARF THERAPIST FOR ANTMEN!! DO IT! Dwarf Therapist is an amazing tool and will make playing as Antmen an indefinate amount easier. If you somehow manage to run a successful fort without this tool, you deserve a major award. I'm not saying Antmen are broken, but the way they specialize in things makes it very hard to get ants that do what they should without this tool.
Also, to find out what the ant's type is, 'view description' of the ant, and then look at the bottom of the page it should include the default description of the ant, and then "-Worker/Soldier/Drone/Queen" respectively.
In short, all. However worker ants are better at most working skills, drone antwomen are good at medical skills, soldier antmen are good at military skills, and the Queen ant sucks at everything. Just let her be a mean old noble. Also, the way the 'better' system is, basically if the ant type is 'better' at that skill, they improve it much faster, making for quite a few legendaries. But the other skills, they improve slower, and lose the skill faster.
Again, in short, all defaults, and then small tree processing.(at the sawmill)
Ant's favor election.

Racial Bonuses/Features:

First, Antmen have simple nobles. They aren't too complicated, nor do they require fancy rooms and all. Antmen are also known for having larger squads, to rush the enemies with lots of troops fast. Antmen also have access to all jobs/tasks dwarves do, but then they also have additional weapons available to them. Antmen only last 3-5 years. Oh, and did I mention Antmen never have to sleep? Antmen have access to Cave animals as domestic.
