Well as of current there is only one "build your own settlement" gamemode, and that is dwarf fortress. Will there be any other races that you can play as in the future? will we be able to build our own towns as a human and our own dark towers as goblins etc?

HUMAN TOWN   You should be able to control a human town, as you control a dwarf fortress, but with changes appropriate to the new setting.

GOBLIN/KOBOLD/CAVER    Controlling the bad guys is an obvious extension, and you've got the whole friendly happy world waiting for your raiding parties.

ELF FOREST RETREAT    Yes, elves for the elf people -- but thinking more general, as we list all these racial civilizations, we should think in broad terms and use the civilization definitions to allow any type of civilization to be played. Elves will provide some necessary extra elements for this process. Mixing the cliff dwelling, wilderness dwelling, town building, ethics/sphere-aligned/religious tendencies into a robust interface for civilization building is a long-term goal.

MONSTER    Playing the dragons and other large beasts seems like another good (and fairly easy) extension. You'd have to be careful, since there aren't very many large beasts in the world and you don't want to just possess them and have them all burn out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you do... or it could just give you new ones. You could also just occasionally have fun going out on an excursion and retiring, then play an adventurer and take a quest from a town to go and dispatch your old self.

There's a lot more than that, too. You can read it all here.
