The megabeasts might not live close enough to the cities for the lord to bother sending you. It might be better to ask villagers about the surroundings a million times or so to reveal camps and lairs nearby. I find it's much more effective than just asking for quests.

Plus there's a tag for creatures called [DIFFICULTY:#] and if the number is above 10, then the creature cannot be assigned as a quest target. Though the only creature I know of that has a difficulty that high is a bronze colossus. All the other megabeasts have 10, so they should be assigned eventually, if there is one close enough to the civilization.

If I ask about the surroundings a million times then I wouldn't spot a worthy challenge if it comes on screen

And now the stupid lord is saying he is loath to send me on a quest to my death...


I can think of 2 reasons as to why he might say that

1 he ran out of pathetic quests.

2 due to me reporting one of the quests he gave me to a peasent he might have glitched.

Kill the Lord as penance for his mockery and then move to a different human civ in a more rustic / war-torn / remote part of the world.

       Wish I did... I left the civ to find a more war torn one, I got cocky and took a arrow to the knee, as legendary my adventurer was he couldin't escape from two bandits while crawling and...he died shoulda killed the stupid lord since it's all HIS fault... If he did send me on worthy quest's I would've been more careful thus more alive.

reason 2 is improbable at best

Lucky you... I usually get swarmed by quests for megabeasts. Dosens and dosens of them! (and the only worthy opponents are colossi (dragons - glasscannons, rocs - easy when grounded and hydras are just really tough) which no one ever gives)... I like camps and the element of surprise. You never know when you will walk straight into ten rangers and five weaponmasters in desert...

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

In my experience it usually takes a while to get noble-level quests, even though rocs and titans are sometimes easier to take down than bandit camps.

The problem is that nobles can give out all types of quests, not just noble level quests. So just because Sir Fancypants can give you a quest to go slay a fearsome dragon that lives far away in a nearby volcano doesn't mean he can't send you off to kill and equally fearsome large rat that lives in a ditch outside town. And the chances he'll give either one of them are probably the same.

I know that I've gone from hunting werebeasts and vampires for peasants to hunting harmless (in comparison) wildlife for nobles a few times before.
