So presumably wights will show up in evil hills, at the very least... it might be interesting to make them extremely common but give them a very limited set of biomes. Providing you get around to creating enough variety when it comes to creatures, you could re-use this technique repeatedly to give certain biome/alignment combinations more flavour (I've always felt things are far too... homogenised in vanilla DF).
I agree entirely. Unfortunately, the game doesn't register "hills" as a distinct biome (Oh. Ninja'd. Whatever.) . If Hobbits/Barrow Wights could be restricted to hills, that'd be awesome, but unfortunately, they can't. In this case, BW's will be very rare, but found everywhere.
Mumakil, on the other hand, are fairly common, but restricted to desert/savanna biomes.
One of my main goals with this mod is to give each race its own distinct flavor. I don't want every race to play exactly the same as vanilla DF. Each race should (and will) have its own unique advantages/disadvantages that make playing as them more than a cosmetic choice.
For example, Elves don't need to sleep. Dwarves can't farm. Humans can't access spoiler metals. These things are fairly basic now, but I plan on making it even more divided later. Especially when it comes time for the weapon overhaul. I have in mind a specific "role", if you will, for each race to play in the grand scheme of things. I want each race, (and each biome as well) to play uniquely.

I'm not much of a modder, but I wanted to try lending a hand! And what Middle Earth would be complete without the Silmarils?
I've gone ahead and slipped that in. When I upload it, you'll find yourself credited in the file. (Same applies to Deon and his Ents)
I've got a bunch of stuff I have to do this week, and it's taking a lot of willpower to not work on WotR instead. Ah, procrastination, I love you. Why do you seem to always hurt me in the end?
Since I won't have anything else fun for you guys today, here's a present instead.
