Sorry if this has been asked before or is answered on the wiki somewhere, I searched both but couldn't find it. My last fortress was in a Joyous Wilds area, and I found that I got hit by more minotaurs than any of my other fortresses. While having minotaur leather was pretty cool, one eventually got lucky and destroyed my fort. I was just wondering if I had embarked in a less savage area would I have seen quite as many, or is it entirely random?

Megabeasts are created at the beggining of the history generation, and therefore the amount is based on how many you made at the begging and how long generation is; Usually every ten years or so one gets slain.

I don't know about semi-megabeasts, but I imagine it's similar, especially if they are named.

Savagery does not seem to effect this: I've had a four year wilderness map in the middle of a desert, and the only things that came to visit me were lots, and lots, of giant desert scorpions.

That makes sense, actually. I think I cranked the number of titans and such to really high levels in Perfect World just to see what would happen. I didn't actually get hit by any megabeasts, but I ran into three minotaurs and a wereskink within four years. Oddly enough when you butcher werebeasts you get dwarven returns, they must transform back when they die.
