you could make it so The animal people are Pets in the Civ which ends up with More than one creature type popping up in the town and site.
so if you have like an entity with multiple types of Creatures who would start one, then have an ANIMAL token set for every Creature you want to pop up in the fort you could end up with a mixing pot of a civ that is run by ratmen or tigermen or Bearmen; with Tigermen, bearmen, and Ratmen as Pets you can generate world here the main Civ would be different but still persist with the followup groups that will spawn when you visit that site. also the bonus of buying or randomly getting those types of animalmen when you embark.

Will pets set that way count towards the local animal-person pops that decide to civilize? That would be useful. And be kind of interesting to generate towns with seperate 'civilized' and 'wild' animal-person pops of the same species.

Are topics hardcoded, and if not/so, is there a way to append to them?

[Putnam]

Yes and there isn't. It might be possible to do some binary hacking on the executable, but that'll break compatibility with damn near everything for very little gain.

Along those lines, has anyone worked out a script for bridging reactions behind discovering said topic?

[Putnam]

I tried but couldn't find where the damn things are stored, at all. I couldn't find it in historical figures, units or civilizations.

Hey sorry if this was asked before, but can the combat logs be modded? I wanna add some bodyparts together with new gruesome depictions of them getting chopped off/ destroyed etc

Not within the raws, though you could add properties to the body parts themselves that are alike to the effect that you want so they are easier to penetrate and mangle.

How would I go about modding in a net that dwarves can throw at animals to capture them? My first thought is to somehow make the item apply a syndrome that, say, paralyzes the creature, but then how would I get the dwarves to haul the animal into a cage or a cage trap?

...it's not possible to make a weapon that launches cage traps at creatures, is it?

Essentially what I want is a way to tell my hunters/military/animal trainers to "capture a live animal" the same way you can capture vermin in an animal trap, but with creatures rather than vermin. The idea of a net just popped into my head and it sounded like a great idea.

DFhack would be the way to go around getting this, there are some scripts also to force a cage capture too manually. Not at all possible in the current raws because there isn't a [tag] function to allow it that exists.

Sadly, the only thing you can do to adjust combat logs currently is to change the names of bodyparts - or add/remove them for clarity.

Would you be able to point me to some of those scripts? Thanks!

Exclude GENERAL_POISON class of animals?

Well, it turns out TomiTapio was right, it was the best way to exclude creatures from my entity.
"My" creature is GENERAL_POISON  too but wiki is correct in saying that the ALWAYS animal tokens supersede the NEVER ones.

I am posting this because it didin't work when I first tried it while also explicitly forbidding the MAMMAL class: so I'm not sure that the wiki is right when it says that multiple instances of [ANIMAL_FORBIDDEN_CLASS:SOMETHING] can be used, at least when they overlap like in this case (I mean, most MAMMAL are also GENERAL_POISON).
It could be there were some other errors on my part, but I consistently had my entity embark with cave crocodiles while having both the [ANIMAL_FORBIDDEN_CLASS:...] tokens, and not with just [animal_forbidden_class:general_poison]

In any case, thanks TomiTapio.

Aw shoots, well thanks anyway @FantasticDorf and Warlord
