Where's all my FB's gone?
« on: October 18, 2010, 01:00:03 am »

I just started an Untamed Wilds river, volcano and brackish lake combo environment, now year 6,
pop around 100, fort value 7.5 million and I have not seen a single FB. I've dug tons of adamantine too.

This world is in year 56, due to everybody dying out, so I decided to end worldgen early to get
all civs. Some of my oldest dorfs were born in time before time. :D

Anyway, I maxed the civs, the titan numbers to 1000, and other megabeast numbers to 100,000 both
in the worldgen in the hopes of getting plenty of fun. But sofar I've had none of it from FBs!

My pop cap is 100 and i've already hit it. Got a baroness and trained some war elephants. A couple
of small sieges have taken place in year 4-5, so gobbos are not dead yet, although I checked legends
and the megabeasts were like wiping out a few settlements per year in the world.

Earlier games have brought me upto 3 megabeasts or FBs per season. This world should have maximum
amounts of fun. So where's mah megabeasts at?

Nah, I finally got the first one in year 7 or so. I just wondered because previous games have
produced like upto 3 new FBs per season, during consecutive all-year-round sieges no less.
But back then in .12 I used to rob absolutely every single caravan that ever came.

This .16 worldgen was stopped in the year 50, because all megabeast numbers and titans were maxed out and elves used to die if I let it run much longer than that.
In this world every race is still alive and well. And now I finally found my 50% Terrifying and 50% Joyous Wilds embark with all races as neighbors and both Major river and Volcano in 4x4 embark.

But with last .16 fort ending up in consecutive crashing by year 9 and FPS 7, I don't have big expectations for this one's lifetime...
