I didn't know where to put this... I thought of the bug section... however

So far Bronze Collosi do poorly in world generation relative to their power despite often being considered the most powerful Megabeast and often considered overpowered capable of taking down even long since established fortresses full of military dwarves and traps.

However in world generation they perform the least well out of all the other Megabeasts often being wiped out before the years hits 50.

Id like it if a bronze collosus did as well in world generation as he would do in the game as it is.

Though this is probably premature since Toady has a lot of work ahead of him on (Semi)Megabeasts and it very well be on his wishlist.

A lot of things are currently entirely unbalanced, and probably will continue to stay that way for a while until things are more settled overall.

Yeah that is true, I kinda feel like this whole topic is premature... but I guess there is no harm in posting this.

I've found that all the megabeasts are getting killed very quickly.

My current world has one megabeast left, and it's a Titan.  I haven't even played yet and they're all dead.

How could it be premature? this is the df forum, about df, and it's a topic about df and df is a beautiful awe-inspiring alpha, criticism makes the cynics wand grow heartier.

 Thankfully toady writes better code when he should be asleep than I write english when I should be asleep.

I'm not sure presently how creature strength features into worldgen, but it seems to me that in the Raws there just needs to be an option, "worldgen strength multiplier", that stacks the dice in favour of a creature during worldgen only. Then a designer that wants a megabeast (or even a civilisation) to have a particularly bloody history can give it a big strength multiplier and have it fare obscenely well during worldgen.

In some cases, like Bronze Collosi, this would in fact just balance the beast to its perceived strength during play.
