I'm sure this is an incredibly stupid question, so you have my apologies, but how do you play as a race besides dwarves? I checked the box next to kobolds in the fort column, and unchecked the one for dwarves, but still seem to embark with dwarves and cannot find any way to change it. Assistance would be very nice.

That is exactly how to do it. Did you gen a new world?

[Rydel]

If you switch which races are available, I'm pretty sure you'll have to gen a new world for it to take effect

If you have multiple playable races available, when embarking you can select your civilization in one of the tabs.

[Lord Cheese]

Yes, I hadn't generated a new world. Thank you.

There is one thing that doesn't really work for me and I am not really sure is that a bug/am I doing something wrong in settings/something else. I've already played pretty much every version of Masterwork Reborn, sometimes for a 4-5 ingame years... and I weren't attacked even once. Bah, there weren't even any ambushes. All enemy civs act like they do not exists, so the worst I live through were some murderous parrots. Did I somehow switched them off ("Invaders" are on in the settings)? Or is there some other cause?

That's a vanilla issue that comes from world-activation, you have to actually settle near your enemies or they'll decide you're not worth the effort and attack someone else.

Seriously?! ... it was completely okay around the old version of Masterwork. I was so popular that there was a nearly permanent siege with one group leaving only for another one to take it's place. It was ok ;_; And what exactly do you mean by "near"?

[Putnam]

masterwork didn't do the changes

Near meaning they appear in the Neighbors tab of the embark screen.  Even so, sieges are quite less common than in older versions of DF.

[Mirrond]

Dammit... well, ok.

Can anyone explain to me the pros and cons of increasing the calendar speed vs decreasing the calendar speed?

Faster seasons, I guess?

More or less time between caravans, diplomats, mandates, demands, etc. Also food production.... if the spring takes 4 times as long, you can harvest 4 times instead of only once.

[Putnam]

Migrants are probably the biggest thing; those are still monthly timed events.

[Mirrond]

OKAY, so there are a few minor things I noticed.
a) For some reason whenever I relaunch the launcher the Calendar Speed, Points, and Group Size part of Init settings is empty.
b) In World Gen section changes in "All" tab only influence the Large Island part.
c) I had ~20 crashes when placing furnitures in my dwarf quarters. All of them within the area of three 3x3 houses, but I can't see any constants about it beside this. So - every time it's caused by different furniture placed on different place. No idea what happened, but it repeated itself. If you don't have problems with playing the save for a one-two month and repeat my steps of placing furnitures to see what causes the problems, I can sent you my save.
d) Not sure if that's a bug, but something might be wrong with Grazing Coefficent. I had it on 500 and yet all my grazing creatures died within a year after wiping out the grass of big part of fortress. Like 20x50 area. And I had like ~10 creatures. I will now go with 9000 and I'll see if this will repeat.
e) I think that changing a embark team size doesn't work.
