I did a search, browsed all relevant boards, and didn't notice the information I am looking for.  If it does indeed exist, please let me know early, so I can request this thread be removed/locked/whatever. 

I'm psyched about the possibilities these new raw formats give us!  So much so that I've taken it upon myself to make the goblins into a more competitive civilization.  On a creature level, I gave them a MAXAGE tag, lack of which was hopefully what seemed to keep them from reproducing.  Also, I removed BABYSNATCHER from their entity entry, for the same reason.

Now, I'm giving them civ positions.  The human warlord looks interesting as a site leader, though renamed as "overlord".  I'll likely use military and administrative positions from the various other entities, but I'd like to have a specific caste for the overlords.  I will make a bigger, tougher, smarter goblin for them. 

Has anyone figured out yet how to limit a civ position to a specific caste?  None of the current civs showed anything like that, and I don't want to make the overlord cast the only male goblins.

The one way I found to restrict entity positions beyond the [GENDER] tag is by adding a creature class to the caste(s) in question and in the entity position, use the [ALLOWED_CLASS] tag(s), which I had to use since gender only seems to take male and female, rather than castes (There is also an [ALLOWED_CREATURE] tag, but I haven't worked out yet how it works. There are also [REJECTED_...] equivalents for those two tags). For antmen, however, the gender tag should suffice, as the queen is the only true female in the species.

Wow, I'm rusty at research.  Thanks for pointing me to that rather obvious source of answers!
