I think i can do without dwarf penises...

Don't you dare cutting them off!

(Actually, it would be kind of cool detail to sexes actually have apropriate organs and suffer consequences of loosing them in battle or having serious injury, i.e. "Urist Mc Dwarf was miserable latery. He lost ability to have children recently." Beware dwarf with nothing to loose...)

[Footkerchief]

The word on full sexual dimorphism:

There are different entries for the genders.  I have not added any body changes.  I'm sure that won't stop other people.  I haven't yet decided where if anywhere I'm going to go with that, but chopping off the little warrior and having it flop against a wall or something is probably too distracting to my nation for me to include in the vanilla game, although the lines of the other potty-oriented stuff.  I don't have any personal objections, but it's not at the top of my list either.

This quote brought to you because honestly who could forget a term like "little warrior."

[Deon]

*flopping against the wall D:. Poor thing.

I would like to see different tokens/bodies/sizes for men/women, if not for a sexual reason, then to have an ability to have various lifeforms, like spiders with huge females and small but fast males, or some monstrosity with a huge unmoving female slug and lots of tiny male instects with wings and tails, flying around, sucking blood from travellers and fertalizing the "slug".

You'll be able to do this through the caste system, if my interpretation of the examples of the caste system is correct.

More or less, yeah, although you couldn't make the males small to the point of being vermin.  For the curious, here's the word on what you can't make caste-specific:

The number of tokens that are creature rather than caste specific is very small.  Creatures handle the overall name, biome, whether the creature is considered fanciful/doesn't exist (for art), vermin information (so, no, Fault, sorry!... too much depends on that right now), whether groups hang together closely, whether it is mundane (from real Earth for age name purposes), population information including good/evil/savage, if it is equipment, sphere information (not sure how long that'll last, but there were annoyances), and that looks like it (they also have some general categories that have caste overrides, like child names and speeches for adv mode).  Everything else, including body information, is held in the castes.

Bah. No LONE WOLVES then. Although we don't exactly need another lone large mammal in adventure mode.

On the bright side, we can make a caste of goblins that have [MOUNT] and have them ridden piggyback into battle.

This gives me some marvelous ideas. Trolls, as a goblin caste. Orcs, as a caste. Squigs, as a butcherable caste. Turn the civ into Warhammer style greenskins.

I very much like the way you think!

It has, however, sent my brain off into the most horrifyingly awesome tangent.
Question: would the [MOUNT] gobbos be able to also ride mounts? They are, after all, themselves Inteligent Warriors of their Entity.

Imagine it! The Stacking Goblin Army, all piled atop one another. A whole squad in one hex, each atop the lower ranked goblin, the squad commander at the top. Or the Sieges and major Battles led by their Master - Yertle the Turtle Demon - riding atop the entire stack, demanding dread dominion over all he surveys.

[Neonivek]

Lone Wolves make more sense as a "Pack makeup" then as a caste. Does the game currently have that or something like that?

Especially since Lone Wolves are not only ordinary wolves but generally speaking they seek to join other packs.

[zchris13]

You just made a Yertle the turtle reference.

[Flaede]

I admit to nothing! I already had the rest of that in my head, and when I got to the Demonic Leader part it just sorta... came out that way.

I am wanting to experiment in these directions. I want to know what actually will happen.

I exploded into laughter reading the blog when i read part of one of the world gen stories;

The goblins were winning, nearly taking the dwarven capital, when something horrifying emerged from the dunes. A shambling mound of vomit vaguely resembling a walking frog, it was Vim Forkedmarshes the Profane Nadir, mistress of torture and misery, emerged from the underworld.
