You know, now that I think about it... I'd really like to have a few Merperson citizens. Give them a nice home. Considering what some dwarves have put their kind through, I feel that's the least they deserve.

Hey, maybe if someone mods in a civ specifically for merpeople, sharing a dwelling type with- actually, shall we not get into that?

I will be utilising my humans to craft masterwork silver whips and elves to do outdoor tasks so my dwarfs can stay underground where they belong.

I can only imagine the stories of auxiliary military squads formed from 2nd class citizens proving their valour on the battlefield and eventually winning equality for all people in the fortress.

I plan on giving the science/knowledge system a spin. Build a library, use adventurers to steal books from the other libraries around to kickstart the biggest science center in the world. Hopefully that will make all the philosophers flock to my fortress where I'll try to keep them safe from FUN until all the knowledge items are unlocked. Then maybe use an adventurer to raid a necromancer's tower for some special books that ought to keep the embark interesting for a while longer.

I hope the taverns are well developed: I want a hotel with royal suites named after all the monarchs of my civ. I know I can use the naming menu for that, but I'm not sure if people will pay well. I could be a fort for rulers and rich people of all the civs to spend their holidays at.

So basically you're attempting to build Arkham? We don't really have a Necronomicon yet, but egotistic tomes composed by dessecated dead men are a fair alternative for now.

I'm just going to run the support industries for a tavern and trade depot, set up guards, and see what comes. Everyone's talking about auxiliaries and second class citizens, but you get maybe 200 people before the game slows down, and between regular migrants and not knowing the rate of petitions from other races, there's no way of knowing if you'll even have very many other-race immigrants. It might just be a tiny, random flavor thing.

I am a man of books and beer. Therefore I'm going to build an amazing library-tavern.

Wow...
Things are really starting to look amazing now...
This will be a DAMN good release.

There's one thing though , I'm hoping minecarts and their rails can get some attention , currently I personally feel it takes a little too long to have someone carve out the stone tracks since it seems it takes the same time as detailing a wall. Ideally it should take half the time it takes to smooth out a wall (and give very little experience).

I wonder if there's actually any historical precedent for nations selectively forming militaries from a particular group of immigrants (voluntary immigrants, i.e., not Jannisaries). History is weird, so probably.

French Foreign Legion?

IIRC, historic animalmen have a small chance to migrate to civilization this time around, correct? If so, I'll shoot for Sperm Whale (Wo)Men.

Oh, if only there was some way to make clothes and armor for their size. I would be able to make... gods.

They won't even need any armor since they're about the size of a battleship.  Just move the wounded blubber out of the way.

Library stuff looks tempting, but I'm still going to focus on a hotel with legendary suites named after all the dwarven monarchs. Though knowing my luck, my ownly visitors will be animal men and enslaved goblins  ::)
