"Escaped in the year blah blah"



I had not began a fort yet, but he still escaped. Anyone got any idea how world-gen demons escape HFS? Cause I never seen a kobold human running around in adamanite armor....

Happens frequently. The game doesn't explain the actual mechanics, but for the sake of continuity it's probably safe to assume that there was a hole in the circus tent somewhere that it crawled out of. That or a group of ambitious dwarves or goblins decided to buy tickets to the circus and accidentally let it loose.

Nope.

At the very beginning of worldgen, there are a handful of demons that start out 'escaped' and function identically similarly to other titans/megabests/FBs, except those demons can become civ leaders.  This is a very old mechanic, although it probably now uses some new game mechanics introduced with the vampire identity-hiding system.  There isn't some place where the demons were actually released by a civ.

I saw the title and thought I was going to see an epic description.
I guess I was wrong.

I severly doubt that. To my understanding, these demons don't exist anywhere outside of the Legends viewer unless they're a civ leader.

Yep. Furthermore, they have the skills:

Code: [Select]

[NATURAL_SKILL:WRESTLING:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:BITE:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:MELEE_COMBAT:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:RANGED_COMBAT:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:DODGING:14]
[NATURAL_SKILL:SITUATIONAL_AWARENESS:14](Grand Master)

When encountered as the leader of a civ, they will often be wearing clothing. Due to their large [BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000000], their clothing is rather thick and acts a lot like deflector shields. They also often wield a kitchen knife of some sort. They are probably the toughest opponent you can face in adventurer mode.

The clown found a copper pick and figured out how to use it.

Eh? I'm not sure about that. I recall reading several forum topics where a demon would escape 'in year 3', or at a date later than initial worldgen. I'll try and find them to verify.

Edit: Hm, nevermind. Apparently I'm imagining things.

[slothen]

well, my main point is that it just 'happens' in worldgen, and isn't related at all to the way a player would release demons.

[Findulidas]

This is also why you can sometimes get demons as diplomats arriving at your fort. They behave just like normal diplomats as far as I know.

Well, I wasn't referring to player actions. I said for the sake of continuity - i.e., if you want to make up a story for why it happened, it was probably a group of dwarves blah blah. Quoting myself,
