Help - No Megabeasts
« on: June 08, 2014, 12:16:34 am »
I have been playing this fortress for some time, and no titans or megabeasts have showed up! I have 200 dwarves and 4mil created wealth. I am in year 131, so I there should be plenty of megabeasts left in the world. I have had 1 forgotten beast show up, but I have the tunnels sealed off.

What gives? I want to have !!FUN!!

Forgotten Beast == (underground) Titan == megabeast. Unseal and let the guy come in to play.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Mega Beasts seem to be kind of rare. I'm in about year ten of my fortress and I have seen one dragon and a minotaur. (Plus close to a thousand damn goblins and trolls.) One thing you can to do to improve your odds is to use the advanced world generator to create your next world and to increase the number of titans, mega beasts and semi=mega beasts by 4 or 5 times what they start at.

It seems you didn't check if there are any titans or megabeasts left in the world. Duplicate the save file, abandon fortress, look into legends. Having a young world that is in the age of myth does not guarantee there will be anything left alive. One the other hand, I too had forts that were 5+ years old and without a single megabeast encounter.
