The intent of this mod is to add interesting, original, high-fantasy style species and civilizations to the world of Dwarf Fortress, while keeping it compatible with as many other mods as possible. It adds 26 new civilizations, all of which are playable in both adventure and fort mode, have unique features such as enslaved lesser races, unique cultural weapons, unique domesticated creatures, and can be chosen individually depending on which ones the player wishes to encounter. The features of this mod include:
-the ice-infused, belligerent Yotunmen,
-the cephalodic and philosophic Kalkir,
-the quasi-undead, pragmatic Manats,
-the constantly conniving, brightly feathered Ruxes,
-the amphibious and xenophobic Silanifs,
-the cruel and frenetic Vulc,
-the divine and unearthly Hlirai,
-the lethargic, simple Ganbus,
-the unnerving and nocturnal Woor,
-the gigantic, perfection-obsessed Joghadai,
-the genetically-diseased, warmongering Baoyo,
-the eloquent and ruthless Xing,
-the flawlessly inhuman Crysanthropes,
-the infectious and disgusting Uluth,
-the gluttonous and short-lived Qaarou,
-the radiant and alien Zion,
-the mystical and enigmatic Lulots,
-the despairing yet knowledge-seeking Ekklos,
-the primitive and stoic Arthraks,
-the brutal and cursed Dolois,
-the capricious and oppressive Nrus,
-the extraterrestrial, ambitious Togriqs,
-the mercantile and cutthroat Felyrs,
-the secretive and dextrous Pasrags,
-the fungoid, emotionless Olar,
-the seductive and vain Isalites,
-a unique language for every civilization,
-and a text file containing in-depth lore of all the races.
Things to keep in mind:
-This is my first mod ever so I might have gotten some things wrong, feel free to let me know what I did right/wrong or just let me know what you think about it. I really appreciate feedback
-I did not intend for the races to be balanced, just cool. Fun may result from this.
-The actual game is not included in this file, just the files for the civs and creatures. Drag and drop the raws in the correct folder to install.
Special thanks to Boltgun, Zm5, and Lovechild for letting me use some of the resources from their mods. And also, thank you to all the various people who assisted me when I had questions.

6.981 changes:
-possibly due to game limitations or my own lack of knowledge, the heart-fruit excreted by the manat slugs is not recognized by the game and just shows up blank.

-Zion natural abilities are broken and don't work right now and I can't figure out how to fix them but I'll get to that later.
(but if someone could take a look at them and figure out why the interactions don't work that'd be great because I'm at a loss here)
3.38 changes:
-Manat Faces and Fleshsmiths both have antennae now.
-Fleshsmiths can now use the same regeneration ability as Faces, but with a twist. Fleshsmiths target others for regeneration rather than themselves. This means that if you play a Manat in adventure mode, or possibly have the caste in your fort in fort mode, they will go around healing you/your 'dwarves'. Of course, the ability only works on Manats.
3.37 changes:
-major fix, lords will be able to appoint their equivalent of hearthpeople now. Captains of the guard used to be the ones who did this, but they did not spawn in keeps/castles, making finding them incredibly difficult and tedious. Each civilization has their own unique special forces you can be inducted into. Captains of the guard can still appoint generic hearthpeople if you really want to serve them specifically though.
3.36 changes:
-forgot to add rux language
3.35 changes:
-the previous language files were created using DFlang, and due to a mistake, used the 2010 template. New iterations have been generated using the most recent template.
