Legends mode effect on embark?
« on: March 13, 2013, 11:40:39 pm »

Alright, what I want to know is if the legends mode, such as where X beast has its lair can effect your fortress?  Say you find the area mentioned in its legend and you embark in/near the area, does that increase the chances of seeing that beast?

I think it does. I know that if Legends says someone's lair is a particular cave, and your embark area includes that cave, they will spawn in the cave on embark.

Thanks!  I'm looking through my legends right now; there is one lair with a ton of minotaurs.  There is also one female minotaur who has mothered 36 other minotaurs, including all of those in the other lair.  This is approaching greeky mythological levels! (Unfortunately, she does not share the lair with her children)  I think all my megabeasts got slaughtered within the first 100 years, unfortunately.

If you create a world through advanced world gen, you can boost the number of megabeasts, and have the world finish generating after a certain number of them are killed, so that you still have a ton of megabeasts when you start playing.
