I think it would be fun to sit down and play a beastman civ. Where you would be the first of your kind creating an urban city like the greeks. I thought it would be cool if I could run a tribe of eaglemen from a meagre 7 to 15 and slowly build their population to over 100. It would be a dream to create an Eagleman empire? Nothing more 'Merica than that Id say.

You may have better luck with this question in the DF Modding section. As far as vanilla DF goes, I don't think there are any plans for any race other than dwarves to be playable in fortress mode.

[PatrikLundell]

Well, there are plans, but they won't result in anything before The Big Wait. When Myth & Magic generates weird races rather than dwarves, or go fully mundane so there are only humans it's intended to be playable in Fortress Mode, not only Adventure Mode.

Then follow the thread "Future of the Fortress" for monthly Q&A (due to be posted pretty soon, but may be effected by smoke, I guess).

Not exactly a new thing either. A procedurally-generated magic system has been a plan for as long as the game itself (so in other words, roughly a decade-and-a-half).

Ive recently started to get into dwarf mode instead of adventure mode, so Ive been scowering the forums and wiki with technicalities of getting your people to do what you want them to do. Who knew they would just do a job they are assigned. So while looking through all these different things I noticed people keep talking about how in the next 15 years we may have a system of gods and god slayers with whole other unmaterial realms and magick. Thats why I haven't seen it

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Oh, it's coming a lot sooner than 15 years. 2 or 3 at the very most.
