Creature Spawning
« on: December 31, 2009, 09:33:42 pm »
Hey. I've always wanted to know (and have tried to find on the wiki) a way to generate a monster. Preferably in some room I can throw peasants in, but I would settle for a beast on the edge of the map to hunt down.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

You can make it so that monsters spawn in larger numbers and more often. Just make cluster, population and frequency all extremely large values.

If a creature has the [EVIL] and [SAVAGE] tag do they show up in those maps? or only when the embark region has a untamed wild and evil zones within it?
