I just thought of this while looking at a screenshot of a 3000 year old world that has 17 lairs all lined up on the world map.

So, here's the question - let's say I played in adventure mode and located say, a werebeast lair. Could I then embark in fortress mode in that same area, so that my fortress would have a werebeast lair on the same map?

Yes. I embarked on a Roc nest doing just that. But the "locals" will be immune to traps to watch out for that.

I sometimes do this, thinking "I can engineer this into a security solution!" and then about a year in just kill the beast and it's a regular fort from then on. I am bad at following through with plans.

But yes, you can do that. Occasionally you'll accidentally embark on a lair, but it's much simpler to start in adventure mode, spam the Surroundings option when speaking with an NPC, and then retire and start a fort on top of one of the many lairs you learn of in the process.

Embarked on a Titan Site, totally abandoned that fort.

i do remember someone attempting to get dragon eggs/tame dragons by embarking on a site with 2 dragons nests. I heard one person was successful, the other less so.

I remember one time where, totally on accident, I embarked on top of a dragon nest.

!!FUN!! was had.

That happened to me. I tried to kill it with a makeshift militia and they were all killed. Re-embarked with a full military outfit and it had bailed.

Ive managed to embark on the shrine of an earth titan.
It was interesting.

in advanced worldgen there is an option to have all lairs prediscovered

I havent see it. I have seen one that makes caves visible. Maybe you are thinking about that?

[ORCACommander]

that would be the one. technically all lairs are caves.

[Urist MacNoob]

Couldn't you just wall over the beast's lair if it isn't outside in the beginning and continue construction? (Until you get bored and drown the beast or release it into your horrible invader labyrinth, of course.

[Virodhi]

Titans hang out at overworld shrines, though, so unless your mason is very quick with the walls, that's not really an option.

Get Legends Viewer and go hunt for fun lairs and whatnot. Filter by character type, find some critter with an impressive kill list, and embark in its back yard. ...then ponder how the fluffy hell a steam titan managed to rack up 200+ kills.

[skyte100]

Yeah but only natural caves appear with that.

I remember this. The results were mostly hilarious.
