Mermaids
Then I will construct a huge underwater dwarf breeding, slaughtering and processing facility.

[Haspen]

Gobbos.

I want my obsidian tower casting and a demon for a king and army of murder-rapists and slave catchers.

I choose....... everything (but elfs). Why argue about which race we should do when we can have all of them?

[monkeyfetus]

With DF as it is now, humans would be much more fun.

If this is after the army arc stuff is finished, and assuming that toady would add a few goblin-specific features, then the goblins' ambushes and sieges and snatching attempts would make it a great and unique experience. Not to mention you'd be constantly repelling attacks, meanwhile (possibly) dealing with goblin politics and the ramifications of goblin ethics, and perhaps if your fortress grew large enough, you'd have your Titan god come to stay in your fort, making evil demands and possibly helping defend your fortress.

The more I think about it, the more sure I am that playing a goblin fortress would be all kinds of Fun. Who else could be as capable of unleashing devastation on the entire world as dwarves? Who else could flood all existence with water and magma, or open the Underworld to demonic invasion? Humans? They'll never be as good as dwarves at it, but I just don't see humans, elves or kobolds coming close to a decent attempt.

That's a good point. I'd like to see the game at a point where you can just choose any race to play as, without modding.

[NightmareBros]

Elves, purley so I can troll dwarves with cloth products and ridicullously low tree quotas.
And have war unicorns, because as a Elf I could out-prance and therefore tame a unicorn.

[CaveIn]

I would love Goblins, seeing the game from a completely different perspective :p

(I won't vote and destroy the nice "multiple of 3" results now <.< Seriously, how often do you see a poll with 15/45/90 votes?)

See, there you'd need a good negotiator, so you can really squeeze their nuts across the bargaining table. Most people bitch about the elves because they don't have that, so they can't make the diplomat leave happily agreeing that the murder of 1k trees a year is perfectly reasonable.

("We'll still buy your wood. Top dollar. In fact, we'll pay 200%, just keep bringing it."
 "Oh, well in that case, you can kill 2k trees a year, pleasure doing business with you!")

[Horizonblue]

I guess I fall under the Kobold Camp, but for variety maybe the elves.
The idea of harnessing the whole damn forest into a death machine, like the Dark Elves a la Banestorm, would be interesting.
All sound fun, though, and humans have whips, so supersonic hammers go!

[Yoink]

Goblins.
What can I say, I just love goblins. Also it'd be fun to deal with them murdering each other constantly...

[Encased in burning magma]

Duh.

Also, humans are surface dwarves, goblins are dwarves that snatch childs... while elves are very different.

Ratmen! That's why they've disappeared, Toady is preparing them for next release.
