I've been playing for well over a year now , had fortresses with 300 dwarves, and tried bumping up vampire count in advanced world gen to 1000.  I have never once seen a vampire in any fortress I've made. 

So..... yeah.  I see all these vampire threads in here and I'm like... what vampires?

Ugh, I know the feeling. I'm glad you finally got one.

You should have stoned her. Crush vampires with boulders. She will only get slower with lack of booze.

That would be a waste in my opinion.  Even slow she's still a weapon.

While stoning a vampire is certainly how I would do it if I wanted them dead (certainly seems cruel enough if you have the spare stone), or if I wanted to execute anyone in my fort really, I agree that it is sort of a waste if you have been unable to get one until now. Vampires, even if slow from booze-withdrawal can be useful. So long as they are sane, they stop a fort from crumbling (though I suppose events that would kill everyone else would be rather bad for their happiness levels), and the undead ignore them until attacked, right?

This was largely part of the idea. My vampire was happy, gave me a solution to unwanted migrants (while also providing standard training.)  Plus she cleared the undead off my reanimating biome from time to time.  Rather a nice thing.
