My fortress needs some !!FUN!!
« on: September 14, 2012, 08:09:44 pm »
I'm getting a little bit bored with my current fortress, mostly for want of challenging enemies.  What can I do to draw in a true megabeast or maybe a horde of FBs?  And don't suggest I unzip the circus tent please my FPS are bad enough as is.

I'm game for anything from in-game titan bait to lua hackery and save editing.

Create lots of wealth and wait. Also leave wide-open entrances to all three cavern layers.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

All my gates are open and my created wealth is about 73m.  Fortress is 14 years old.

Preferable ones that involve removing/relocating parts of your defenses while construction is afoot.

So I ended up writing a lua script to reversibly change all gold furniture to adamantine which doubled my created wealth.   A FB showed up 3 seconds after I unpaused and hopefully the titans are on their way.  I'll post the script if there's interest.
