Outsiders are adventurers that aren't from a civilization - they can begin at any site and are strangers to all. Only humans can currently be outsiders in vanilla by default - other races can be played as outsiders if {{token|OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE|c}} is added to the creature's raws. At least one {{tt|[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]}} civilization must have existed in the world in order to play as an outsider, though the civilization does not need to be alive. A human (or in this case, dwarven) civilization is not strictly required. | Outsiders are adventurers that aren't from a civilization - they can begin at any site and are strangers to all.

− | + | Outsiders will always try to begin in a populated site - [[cave]]s, and even lairs with [[megabeast]]s, will be chosen when there are no occupied civ sites. When starting from a lair, be sure to escape from the site '''immediately''', as soon as the game starts, to avoid an instant death. | |
Playing as an outsider has many initial limitations - they possess no pre-existing relationships or knowledge of various events and wildlife. Also, because they lack a cultural identity or (supposedly) knowledge of laws, outsiders cannot worship deities or [[claim]] sites, and are unable to perform dance, music, or poetry due to having no held art forms. When selecting skills for outsiders during creation, many more skills may be available than would otherwise be, if they were part of a civilization. | Playing as an outsider has many initial limitations - they possess no pre-existing relationships or knowledge of various events and wildlife.
