Summary0000147: The Civilziation screen can spoil certain underground features
Description...namely, what civilizations are under there. In my current fort it shows an amphibian man civilization despite the fact I haven't even breached a single cavern yet. They are nameless and it doesn't show any information about them, but it does reveal their existence.
Steps To ReproduceI have not tried to reproduce, however I imagine this would happen in any area with an underground civ
Additional InformationI put this as a "High" priority because keeping players unspoiled should be the top goal at this point to preserve all the awesome new stuff.

My civilization screen currently shows...

Unnamed <<HIDDEN SPOILER>> civilization

I've blocked out the actual species name to avoid being too much of a spoiler. I expect when I actually reveal the appropriate underground feature it will name it as well. I know it exists, and I know what species it is. Not knowing the civilizations name doesn't really make it any less of a spoiler.

I've seen this in the civ screen of *every single* fort I've started. It simply states "Unnamed <<humanoid>> civilisation". Not yet encountered one to see behaviour when I do actually meet them.

The problem is, as far as I can tell, the civilisation consists of about five of the [REDACTED] and a handful of preserved foods and bits of leather in a small area in a cave, and that's it.
