Finding zombies and the like?
« on: July 22, 2009, 03:05:22 pm »
How do you find them? Currently I seem to be just going through and fighting cougars and wolves.

How do I find caves and such?

On the travel map, caves are those 'stone' symbols in Fortress Mode, essentially an horizontal oval. I believe the only place you can find undead is in evil areas, those dark purple places.

i have trouble with that. wandering around evil places only gets me dangerous zombies. plus i can only ever find creatures by random encounter. how do you find them without random encounters?

Just running around usually. Its difficult though, since random encounters are always fucking harpies.

Yeah, it's wall-to-wall harpies and ogres out there, apparently.  I stumbled upon a half-dozen undead groundhogs once while I was just walking aimlessly, which was the only time I ever saw one.  Apparently the small critters are never featured in encounters.

Does anyone ever get towns that are in evil areas? Zombie humans and such?
