I'm going to guess [CAN_CIV].

Could you be more specific about "doesn't start"?

Do they not show up in worldgen?

ya no world gen or legends. The just never existed. No first ten or anything just none. p.s. I thought it might be [can_civ] but then I noticed no other civilization races have it.  i'll still try though.

the first advice i would give is that look at the errorlog.txt (where DF exe is) it tells if there is a problem with your tag's and wich makes the problem, then just look at generated world (if no problem were in the phase before) Are there any swamps? it migth be that they have no place to spawn, (even more if you tested on pocket worlds) what i do to force spawning civs i set the civs needed in worldgen to the same amount then civs alowed by entities (so i will have everything if it is possible from bioms)
---
i am almost sure that CAN_CIV is in INTELIGENT alredy

Yeah, I guess [CAN_CIV] is part of intelligent.

Second try.


[START_BIOME:ANY_SWAMP]

Are swamps biomes?

Always this first.

One thing that might be a problem is your leader types. Druid and Master Thief need to be permitted as jobs first... I think. I've never messed with alternate leader types before.

Another problem, as others are pointing out, may be your BIOMEs. I created a similar race of lizard-men and had problems getting them to generate consistently until I loosened their BIOME requirements.

EDIT: Doh, I should've noticed. ANY_SWAMP isn't a proper BIOME. Try ANY_WETLAND
