W-o-w.

Pens/pastures? New animals? New industries based on said animals?

Awesome!

Now let's see if the curse of the odd numbers strikes again. But even if it does, I'm positively gleeful.

I can confirm the kobolds dying off thing.  On year 4 every kobold genned died of starvation, 3 worlds in a row. 

And although it is probably expected, [CARNIVORE] tag on a custom civ is a surefire way to kill them off early in worldgen.  Just like goblins they need [NO_EAT] [NO_DRINK] to survive.  Kind of a buzzkill for me, but I know workarounds.

Hmmm, the elves can't work with honey?  Is that to prevent them from making mead?

ETA: Also, why aren't beekeeping and wax-working among the permitted jobs?

They are for me.

They are for me.

They're among the PERMITTED_REACTION in entity_default.txt, but not among the PERMITTED_JOB.

They show up in fort mode...

Some people had surviving kobolds. Maybe kobolds civs without acess to other civilizations (to steal) die off in world gen?

Heh now all the forum cutebold lovers will get angry when folks put animals in front of their front gate.  Denying their entire civilization of much needed food.

My first 999 year world had, like other said, no surviving kobolds after year 4. Most civilizations seemed to have died of in year 3. My second world-gen, however, came back with these results:

1644: Trokokokulgus, "Trokokokulgus", camp
   Owner: Stadadlilgis, kobolds
   5 kobolds
1645: Teengis, "Teengis", camp
   Owner: Plukuchiris, kobolds
   5 kobolds
1646: Jladafraydus, "Jladafraydus", camp
   Owner: Shlokoloplomer, kobolds
   5 kobolds
1647: Tobokofuldus, "Tobokofuldus", camp
   Owner: Pikikislilmus, kobolds
   7 kobolds
1648: Shrilis, "Shrilis", camp
   Owner: Pilikus, kobolds
   8 kobolds

Obviously, some kind of koboldocalypse had taken place, leaving only a few struggling survivors.

Is it possible worldgen is just placing some kobold civs too far away from other civs, making it impossible for them to survive?

[tolkafox]

Not sure if I read this right or if this is already said somewhere, but would the new caravan arc affect immigrants, say if the only economy my dwarven civ has is farming and metalworking could I expect immigrants to arrive with mainly these skills? Or would immigration skills be purely random?

According to this quote provided by the Footster, that shouldn't be a problem:

Will elf, goblin and koblin civilizations be integrated into the new economy system as well?
If yes, how will they get their food seeing that they don't do farming?

The elves pretend farm right now.  Goblins don't need to eat.  Kobolds forage for vermin.  They should be part of the new economy, although kobolds are just parasitic.

But maybe things got changed somehow? Or verminaging just isn't enough to make a decent living out of. That kinda makes sense, too.

Wow, did DF always have the First Age of Myth, Second Age of Myth, etc? That's a cool addition if it is one.

[scriver]

How long are those ages?
