Finding Werecreatures
« on: May 10, 2012, 02:54:17 pm »
Do werecreatures show up more often in evil biomes? I'm trying to capture some for science purposes, but so far my 20 year old savage biome fortress has been attacked by a single werewolf. Sadly for the cause of science, it revealed itself five paces away from my legendary markdwarf squad, who appropriately enough were armed with silver bolts. I don't know if werecreatures are weak to silver in any way, but after 30 bolts or so it didn't really matter...

Anyways, back on topic. Does evil biome = more werecreatures?  If not, is there another way to find them?

1. Nope
2. They find you. Longer world gen + More werebeast curses = more werebeasties

in adventure mode, people have reported settlements copletely surrounded behind a double ring of were creature lairs.

I think a good bet would be to embark near other settlements, or in the same biome as they are
