A simple suggestion.
When the world you start is generating a simple display in the bottom left, Yu know right under the nice black text, there is another line that would say:
Dwarven Civ: 2
Elf Civ: 3
Human Civ: 4
Modded Civ 1: 2
Modded Civ 3: 1

From this I would see that i dont have a Modded civ 2 and I would have to have another lengthy regen in half an hour rather than in 2 minutes.
Make some discussion?

Personally, I'd like to have a tally of all of the civs and their current number of sites.

Something like this:

(That's a rough average of the kind of world I've been getting in the new version, but I did have one world with multiple major human empires.)

Right. If it were to tell us whats what during worldgen we would have a more effecient experience. As of right now it takes about 2 hours to get a fort started to summer. I could go for 45 minutes if it told me more stuff like that.

ooohh afterthought

In the future, civs won't be linked solidly to race- this already happens in small edge cases like an elf king of a goblin civ, etc.

Thats not exactly what we were talking about. The different civs being present in the map are what I would like. Like a status of the civs would be really cool.
