Generated races and civilizations
« on: July 22, 2014, 11:27:57 am »

I think it would be nice to see some generated races and civilizations perhaps mainly variations on existing races such as "Desert Elves" "savage hobbits" and "avian dwarves"

Perhaps when planes are added to the game they can have generated creatures so that the elemental plane of cheese is properly filled with cheese elementals.

can confirm it is planned (or at least considered) but I don't have the dedication to find the df talk transcript like some less lazy individuals you might encounter on these forums.  Toady said it's an idea that's been considered but the problem is it can be very confusing when you first start in a new world as to what everything is (that was in a conversation that also mentioned randomly generated stone and whatnot) and it might show up eventually, but be optional in advanced worldgen or something like that
