These guys are tough and not too fun to play. EVERY race is hostile to them, you will be under siege very early on. Only race that trades with them is other Beastmen, which limits your options. I hadn't even been able to set up a forge and get them armor and weapons before SIX dwarves attacked.
Beastmen apparently are incredibly fragile, because it only took ONE hit from any dwarf to immediately kill any of them. Like seriously one single dwarf killed 8 of my guys and all he had was a silver dagger. One single shank immediately killed them, not downed, immediately killed. I just got spammed with "x has been found dead" over and over. I had to load the save 9 times before I finally just decided to bring all my civs inside and wall them in.
They all died of dehydration.

Their fragility and hostility from every race makes them a challenge civ.

@MangoCobra To my knowledge *the baby snatch tag makes civs able to be hostile towards non baby snatchers, like dwarves, elves, and humans. Making a non playable version wont do anything other than make them not selectable during embark on a new game, what you could try doing is going into your dwarf fortress steam folder/data/installed mods/ beastmen of farum azula/objects folder and open the creature txt file and replace [INTELLIGENT] with [CAN_LEARN], which would remove their ability to speak, allegedly making them always hostile towards other factions from what I've been reading on forums.

Awesome.

Can you make a non-playable version? I'm getting beastmen spam and I just want them to be an enemy.

Not sure why they babysnatch, won't that make it so that they eventually will be nothing but grown snatched children?
