This article is about an older version of DF.

These tokens define entities, or civilizations, in entity_*.txt files.


Gameplay

Token Arguments Description
ADVENTURE_TIER order Allows adventure mode. Dwarfs, Elves, and Humans take up tier 3, 2, and 1 respectively. It seems that the best way to use this is to put your entity in the same order as the other tiers. The tiers are in descending order. So you should put a new adventure entity above the Dwarves. Not at the end of the file.

[ADVENTURE_TIER:4]

INDIV_CONTROLLABLE Allows the "Play Now!" option adventure mode. Not having this specified in one of the entities will cause the Adventure mode option to disappear.
CIV_CONTROLLABLE Allows fortress mode. If multiple entities have the CIV_CONTROLLABLE token, than in embark mode the specific civs can be chosen by + or - on the civ list screen (by pressing tab). At least one civilization must have this token.
CREATURE creature The type of creature that will inhabit the civilization. Multiple entries will be chosen from at random for each civilization.

[CREATURE:DWARF]

Placement

Token Arguments Description
BIOME_SUPPORT Frequency goes from 0 to 10. Higher numbers make the entity more likely to settle there.

[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_GRASSLAND:4]

START_BIOME Template:L Birth of the civilization can be performed on this biome.

[START_BIOME:MOUNTAIN]

DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE site type Also determines symbol used when selecting civilization. CAVE uses no symbol. Options are: CITY, TREE_CITY, DARK_FORTRESS, CAVE, CAVE_DETAILED, (in 40d also RUIN)

[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CAVE_DETAILED]

LIKES_SITE site type Most residents will try to move to this site type, unless already at one.

[LIKES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED]

TOLERATES_SITE site type Some residents will try to move to this site type, unless already at one.

[TOLERATES_SITE:CITY]

WORLD_CONSTRUCTION construction Controls which constructions the civ will build on the world map.

[WORLD_CONSTRUCTION:BRIDGE]

Population

Token Arguments Description
START_GROUP_NUMBER number Number of breeding couples to start with per entity. Note that single-gender (eg. [FEMALE], [MALE], [NO_GENDER]) creatures will not have breeding couples, so a civilization with only these creatures will not be very likely to survive. As of 40d, although many had problems getting such civilizations to survive, there are those who have demonstrably and repeatedly done so. Presumably if the civ-stating code can't place breeding couples, it doesn't start the civ. However, because the children never grow up, the civ is limited to its original individuals).

[START_GROUP_NUMBER:10]

MAX_POP_NUMBER number Max population *per entity*, multiply this by max starting civ to get the total population of the species.

[MAX_POP_NUMBER:500]

MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER number Max population per individual site.

[MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:200]

MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER number Max number of entities to spawn at world generation.

[MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:3]

Flavor

Token Arguments Description
PERMITTED_BUILDING building name The named, custom building can be built by a civilization in Fortress Mode.

[PERMITTED_BUILDING:SOAP_MAKER]

PERMITTED_JOB Template:L Allows this job type to be selected. This applies to worldgen creatures, in the embark screen, and in play.

[PERMITTED_JOB:MINER]

PERMITTED_REACTION reaction name Allows this reaction to be used by a civilization. It is used primarily in Fortress Mode. When creating custom reactions, this token MUST be present or the player will not be able to use the reaction in Fortress Mode.

[PERMITTED_REACTION:TAN_A_HIDE]

CURRENCY_BY_YEAR Causes the civ's currency to be numbered with the year it was minted.
CURRENCY
  • metal token
  • value
What kind of metals the civ uses for coin minting as well as the value of the coin.

[CURRENCY:SILVER:5]

ART_FACET_MODIFIER
  • type
  • number
OWN_RACE, FANCIFUL, EVIL, GOOD

Number goes from 0 to 25600 where 256 is the default. [ART_FACET_MODIFIER:OWN_RACE:512]

ART_IMAGE_ELEMENT_MODIFIER
  • item
  • number
CREATURE, PLANT, TREE, SHAPE, ITEM

0-25600 Determines the chance of each image occurring in that entity's artwork, such as engravings and on artifacts, for default (non-historical) artwork. [ART_IMAGE_ELEMENT_MODIFIER:TREE:512]

ITEM_IMPROVEMENT_MODIFIER
  • item
  • number
ART_IMAGE, COVERED, RINGS_HANGING, BANDS, SPIKES, ITEMSPECIFIC, THREAD, CLOTH, SEWN_IMAGE:0-25600

Determines the chance of the entity using that particular artwork method, such as "encircled with bands" or "menaces with spikes". [ITEM_IMPROVEMENT_MODIFIER:SPIKES:0]

This also seems to change the amount that the entity will pay for items that are improved in the ways in their tokens.

TRANSLATION language What language raw the entity uses.
  • If an entity lacks this tag, translations appear to be drawn randomly from all translation files[Verify].

[TRANSLATION:DWARF]

CULL_SYMBOL
  • noun
  • symbol
ALL, CIV, SITE

Causes the entity to not use the words in these SYM sets. [CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UGLY]

SELECT_SYMBOL
  • noun
  • symbol
Causes the entity to more often use these symbols in the particular SYM set.

[SELECT_SYMBOL:ALL:PEACE]

FRIENDLY_COLOR see Template:L

The color of this entity's civilization settlements in the world gen and embark screens [FRIENDLY_COLOR:1:0:1]

Religion

Token Arguments Description
RELIGION type REGIONAL_FORCE: The creatures will worship a single force associated with their spheres. Currently hardcoded to only be associated with rivers and nature.

PANTHEON: The creatures will worship a group of gods, each aligned with their spheres and other appropriate ones as well.

[RELIGION:PANTHEON]

RELIGION_SPHERE sphere Can by any available Template:L. Multiple entries are possible. Choosing a religious sphere will automatically make its opposing sphere not possible for the species to have: adding WATER, for example, means the species will never get FIRE as a religious sphere.

[RELIGION_SPHERE:FORTRESSES]

SPHERE_ALIGNMENT
  • type
  • number

This token forces an entity to favor or disfavor particular religious spheres, causing them to acquire those spheres more often when generating a pantheon. [SPHERE_ALIGNMENT:TREES:512]

Leadership

Token Arguments Description
POSITION string Defines a leader/noble position for a civilization. These replace previous tags such as [MAYOR] and [CAN_HAVE_SITE_LEADER] and so on. To define a position further, see Template:L.
LAND_HOLDER_TRIGGER
  • land holder number
  • population
  • wealth exported
  • created wealth
Defines when a particular land-holding noble (baron, count, duke in vanilla) will arrive at a fortress.
VARIABLE_POSITIONS Position responsibility or ALL Allows a responsibility to be taken up by a dynamically generated position (such as Law-maker).

Behavior

Token Arguments Description
ETHIC
  • behavior
  • reaction
Sets the civ's view of certain behaviors, from capital punishment to completely acceptable. This also causes the civ to look upon opposing ethics with disfavor, if their reaction to it is opposing, and when at extremes (one ACCEPTABLE, another civ UNTHINKABLE for example) they will often go to war over it.

[ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]

WILL_ACCEPT_TRIBUTE Makes the civ's traders accept offered goods.
WANDERER, BEAST_HUNTER, SCOUT The civ will send out these sorts of adventurers in worldgen.
ABUSE_BODIES The civilization will mutilate bodies when they are the victors in history-gen warfare, such as hanging bodies from trees, putting them on spikes, and so forth. Adventurers killed in Adventurer mode will sometimes be impaled on spikes wherever they died, with or without this token, and regardless of whether they actually antagonized the townspeople.
ACTIVE_SEASON season the season when the civ is most active: when they will trade, interact with you via diplomats, and/or invade you. Civs can have multiple season entries. Note: If multiple caravans arrive at the same time, you are able to select which civ to trade with at the depot menu. ACTIVE_SEASON tags may be changed for a currently active fort.

[ACTIVE_SEASON:AUTUMN]

AMBUSHER When invading sneaks around and shoots at straggling members of your society. They will spawn on the edge of the map and will only be visible when one of their party are spotted; this can be quite dangerous to undefended trade depots.
AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE Will not attack wildlife, and will not be attacked by them, even if you have them in your party. This can be somewhat disconcerting when attacked by bears in the forest and your elven ally sits back and does nothing.
BABYSNATCHER Sends thieves to steal babies. Also sends ambush parties to harass your civilization. Without this tag enemy civs will only siege, and will siege as early as they would otherwise babysnatch. This can happen as early as the first year of the fort! In addition, babysnatcher civs will snatch children during history gen, allowing them to become part of the civ if they do not escape.

Note: If playable civ in Fortress Mode has this tag (ie. you add BABYSNATCHER to the dwarf entity) then the roles will be reversed and elves and humans will siege and ambush and goblins will trade with you.

DIPLOMAT Presumably causes the civilization to send a diplomat once your fortress reaches a certain state.
DIPLOMAT_BODYGUARDS Effect unknown.
INVADERS_IGNORE_NEUTRALS
ITEM_THIEF Sends thieves to steal items. This will also occur in history generation, and thieves will have the "thief" profession. Items stolen in history gen will be scattered around that creature's home.
MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS Merchants have bodyguards and wagons. Wagons allow for a lot more variety in their goods.
MERCHANT_NOBILITY Effect unknown - in previous versions, this resulted in the civ having a Guild Representative / Merchant Baron / Merchant Prince, but now this is controlled solely by positions.
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION level 0 to 5, civ will come to site once population at site has reached that level. If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. 0 corresponds to no population requirement necessary for interaction. 1 corresponds to 20 dwarves, 2 to 50 dwarves, 3 to 80, 4 to 110, and 5 to 140. Progress triggers may be changed, added, or deleted for a currently active fort. Note: hostile civs require that the population trigger be fulfilled as well as at least one other trigger before attacking.
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION level 0 to 5, civ will come to site once created wealth has reached that level. If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. Progress triggers may be changed, added, or deleted for a currently active fort.
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE level 0 to 5, civ will come to site once exported goods has reached that level. If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. Progress triggers may be changed, added, or deleted for a currently active fort.
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE level 0 to 5, civ will begin to send sieges against the player civ when this level is reached if it is hostile.

If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. 0 corresponds to no population requirement necessary for interaction. 1 corresponds to 20 dwarves, 2 to 50 dwarves, 3 to 80, 4 to 110, and 5 to 140.

PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE level 0 to 5, civ will begin to send sieges against the player civ when this level is reached if it is hostile.
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE_SIEGE level 0 to 5, civ will begin to send sieges against the player civ when this level is reached if it is hostile.
SIEGER Will wait around at the edge of your map for a month or two, before charging.
SKULKING This makes the severity of attacks depend on the extent of item/baby thievery rather than the passage of time.
TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY Makes the entity angry if you cut down too many trees. They will send a warning first.
LAYER_LINKED Defines if a civilization is a hidden subterranean entity, such as batman civilizations.

USE_ANIMAL_PRODUCTS
USE_ANY_PET_RACE Assuming it passes other checks, any creature in their list of usables (from common domestic if they have that or from the surrounding 7x7 or so of squares and map features in those squares) which has PET or PET_EXOTIC will be available as a pet (next time, it'll let them use mounts/pullers/pack animals of any kind as well, but I'm not sure this matters in the stock raws). This notion of the initial usable creature list, which then gets pared down or otherwise considered, applies below as well. All common domestic and equipment creatures are also added to the initial list.

USE_EVIL_ANIMALS Don't have it -> EVIL creatures skipped.

IMPROVED_BOWS Adds decorations to weapons generated for bowman and master bowman. An elf hack.
METAL_PREF Allows the entity to use the metal with the highest values for DAMAGE_PERC or BLOCK_PERC without DEEP. Currently only dwarves have this token. Without this token, the entity will use the best metal below or equal to 100%.
STONE_PREF Enables creatures of this entity to bring stones in trade. Also seems to enable the use of metals smelted from ore, such as iron or copper.
WOOD_WEAPONS Causes members to be able to use wooden weapons.
