My current fortress is a bit over 25 years old and I've managed to pick up a breeding pair of cyclopes and giants. Four female minotaurs, too, but we won't get into that. Anyway, I tried boarding up the cyclopes in a room for a few years, and all I got out of it was a tiny drop in framerate. Is it possible to get them to breed without modding? If I do want to mod it, what do I do?

I don't think megabeasts breed, and making them breedable will likely flood the world with them during generation.

I'm pretty sure that megabeasts won't breed in world gen even if you make them breed simply because they are megabeasts.

That besides the point, he's obviously out of world gen. Just open up your data -> save -> region file and edit the raws there, it will only effect that world.

In the future, please post your modding questions on the Modding Forum, because every time you ask a modding question on a non-modding forum, a badger kills a dwarf. Think of the dwarves.

Thanks for the response, but the modding part of the question was secondary to the question of whether they'll breed under normal circumstances. Also, I've read in several places that Rocs and Dragons can breed even in fortress mode. Clearly there's more to the question of breeding megabeasts, unless the rumors are false.

They're only semimegabeasts. Not full megabeasts.

...and anywhere else in this spot would be "...every time you [X], [Y] kills a kitten."
