Legends Oddities
« on: February 15, 2012, 04:56:56 pm »

What things do you show in your Legends Mode?

For me I generated a medium world with 550 years and all of my Megabeasts were dead by year 250, killed by dwarves or humans. The last titan was dead in 339 and all of the demons/night monsters are dead too.

On a more interesting note of this world, this Necromancer Dwarf was Queen of this civilization since year one, stopping in year 16 for some reason. And a Necromancer Dwarf General.

I had a killer vamp with 2079 (2083 now) kills and a titan that wiped out the last of the kobolds and elves, ushering a new age, that's about it so far, oh, and the funny funny names

Wow. That rivals Tholtig.You should look more into this vamp, see if there are any epic yarns attached. Maybe a serialized yarn for all us forumgoers?

Yep, it's not that that uncommon to have epic kill counts now apparently.  Gonna gen a few more world and see what other goodies I can turn up, we just need a non-vamp elf killing 10k+  :P

Apparently this Dwarf Vampire King fought with his troops becuase the only thing that nation did in 490 was attack the coyote brutes. The leader of the defense was the one who killed him. Next year someone else was king.

Found another Dwarf Vampire in this same world with 19k kills. There are a lot of kills in my world, too many strong vampires. No wonder the Titans, Megabeasts, and such all died out. But they died out to normal creatures not vampires.

I presume vampires have massive kill counts due to thier new ability to feed. They didn't kill 13 thousand people in the field of battle, they feed on (and killed) 13 thousand 'friends'.

The Dwarf king you mentioned 4 posts ago killed (on average) one person every 13.42 days (so once a fortnight, every fortnight, give or take). All of these people were sleeping, and wouldn't have been a challenge at all. It isn't THAT impressive.

You shouldn't find any more instances of regular (even necromatic or were-beast) people with < 1k kill counts than DF2010.

(That said, apparently in adventure mode, they keep trinkets of all their kills, so that dwarf king has 13 thousand amulets, necklaces, and rings. I wouldn't be surprised if he would be a push over due to him being horrendously over-encumbered :P)

The best part is that push-over thing is literal. Now, if only you could push them over into an actvie volcano...

Vampire kings give a very literal meaning to the nobility feeding off the people.

Vampires massacre forgotten beasts that players normally have to drop cavern ceilings on, but can be taken out by creatures that are more or less at the level of a strong/medium-strong player, including decently prepared players. It's like rock paper scissors:

Vampire beats Titan/FB,

Titan/FB beats player/demon,

Player/demon beats vampire.
