Ok, so I had this idea since I've been kinda bored of vanilla Dwarf Fortress. I want to have a competition to see which race would survive the longest/ most efficient. So for example I would take dwarf and play them very dwarfy using only dwarven culture, like only stone and only being underground, and only using hammer and axes, basically stereotypes. For Humans I'd only build above ground, with lots of wooden buildings and such. Same with elves and maybe goblins and others.

So if anyone can point me to some mods that can make me have these races playable that would be great. Also if the mod included that humans have to wear human sized armor too, that'd be better.

Also this is just something I thought of on my break, so if you think I should add something or alter something please tell me.

Creatures always have to wear armor that fits them, every armor piece has a size value which has to be somewhat close to the creature's size value to wear it.

I'm also working on an all-races-playable mod, but it's slow going trying to balance it...

?!?!?

No metals? No above ground forts and towers? Dwarves are the masters of stone - they can live above and below ground, and beat the humans at it too!

and only using hammer and axes, basically stereotypes.

Racial stereotypes? Urist would be disappointed.

For Humans I'd only build above ground, with lots of wooden buildings and such.

You'd be better off building large regular blocky buildings, or many unplanned rough stone buildings.

Same with elves

Build a camp!

and maybe goblins and others.

Dark Fortress + Kobold Cave

The armour automatically adjusts to the human size if they're the ones that manufactured it

Dwarfs would have metals, I was just giving some examples.
