Dwarf Fortress

Dwarf Fortress is a video game that has been described as a Tolkien/Lord of the Rings simulator. It follows the eponymous dwarves building their fortresses, though it can also be "played" (more like read) in Legends Mode, the latter of which poses the purpose of this wiki.

Other than dwarves, four other races can form civilizations and interact with the world: humans, elves, goblins and kobolds. Modded, there are practically infinite civilized races that can be created in a given world.

As of the latest version, there are around 700 creatures. Considering that animals have humanoid counterparts, this makes over 300 creatures that can become civilized, this is without counting modding.
