I was playing in adventure mode, playing a dwarf that was heading to the mountainhome, when i ran into an area very close to my goal that i simply could not fast travel through, lair-lair-lair-lair-lair, no matter where i looked,
so i retired that adventurer, went there in fortress mode, and tried a very large embark over the area right next to the mountainhome

Just counting now, 64 weresquirrels, 16 werecoati, and one undead elf
WHAT?
THE?
FUCK?

Obviously i'm not using this exact embark, it took an 8x16 embark to cover the area i suspected contained the lairs..
but, there are so many of them in the area that almost any embark i try there will have at least a dozen weresquirrels?

So, the question is.. what do I do with this?
Do I actually WANT to embark on a site with a guarantee of several werecreatures?

what the?
-still stunned over this, first time i find more then one lair in an embark, and this area it's hard to embark on top of fewer then 10 at once...

WereSQUIRRELS?
What's next, a werethrip?

[enizer]

i have a sneaking suspicion that there might be so many of them because a squirrel isn't all that deadly, and the people they attack keep surviving

I had a case similar to this, with just a ton of lairs in a tight cluster. I  went through as an adventurer, and I literally could not even finish off a single enemy before another vampire, or another werebeast of some kind came along trying to kill me.

makes me think, when they become a were-something, they become a menace to society, and go to live alone in a cave somewhere.. but when there are eighty of them in the area, almost all the same were thing..

time to stop hiding in a cave and build a town or something i would think...

Ya know, I dated a weresquirrel.

Well... her online dating pictures included a fat squirrel sitting on a park bench. So she had to be a weresquirrel.

Happily, I never dated an undead elf. That would have been weird.

James, I think it was, in the RTD Life Begins At Death. He was almost killed by a squirrel. I misremembered, it was a hare.


Back on topic here, I would think that were-lairs (lairs with werecreatures) would tend to cluster together near settlements because of the number of potential targets, which would further increase the population, and such. In theory, if one modded up a werecreature which wasn't deadly at all, you would see those all over the place (assuming said curse was given out in worldgen) for the same reason.

That’s a hell of an infestation you’ve got there. I think you do WANT to embark on a site with the guarantee of several werecreatures, and capture them or pen them up somehow. Good experimental value, and now the save is uploaded we call all play around with it (until, of course, the new release comes out).
