Killing each other too.

[Propman]

More generation research, and while I could not locate a volcano temple, I have come across a quite ghastly structure, appropriately named Necrowhim, situated on a sinister mountain.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So alien is Necrowhim's construction that Stonesense crashed upon attempting to render it, requring use of Armok Vision. The roof of the main structure is composed of obsidian, which juts out of the top into thin, sky piercing pillars.



The interior. Unlike the past castles, this structure seems to lack a formal arena space, so most of the monsters are grouped into this particular cavity, clad with dirt walls. An untold amount of undead dragons, hydras, and rocs make combat with bronze colossi and evil eyes; the fate of the lesser monsters in the arena is a forgone conclusion.



The basement is a simple single-floor laybrinth. Many minotaur share this space with cyclopses and ettins. The unliving have already breeched this area, it seems, making it a slaughter waiting to begin.

[Proudnerd]

This is seriously awesome i need to try this.

[Naryar]

Clearly this is Armok's work. He's bored, so he makes eldritch buildings and creates forgotten beasts inside them so they fight for his pleasure.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Oh god. Undead dragon army. You must trap these creatures. _{And preferably unleash them on hell.}

Hit the wrong world parameter set trying to make an interesting first world for the gf to play on since I got her to try out bashing some goblins with Gar Legendbreaker and she was quite disappointed when she ran out, but yeah, I was trying to find a nice interesting little world, lots of stuff going on, a nice amount of history to dig into and so forth.

Well, the parameter set right below the funworlds I like to make is one of the 10k mega/semi worlds inspired by the thread here, I noticed when the histfigs jumped straight to 20k after the long ass loading period. I hit enter and just accepted it at year 6 to see how it turned out, and went on to make a more normal world for her (only 20 mega/10 semi) and then I got curious.

See, while I was sifting through the worlds I made for her to see if I could find some active warfare for her to stumble across I recalled seeing a draconic rampage with 2 dragons involved in one of the normal worlds which was taking place with sieges on before and after on the same site, fun stuff! "Hmmm, wonder what those look like in the stupidhighpop worlds?" I thought.

*Meanwhile in some town on one of these crazymonster worlds.*
"Whew, I'm so glad those hundreds of Rocs got bored and left with their random trinkets, but now the worst is over. We can rebuild, we can show them that none may break the indomitable dwarven spirit!"

*suddenly*


"Ow fuck, my spirit."

[WillowLuman]

Can I see the full screen of that announcement? Somehow I think I'll be able to perceive the look of terror in all the little ☺

*suddenly*

This makes HFS look like kobolds.
I really need to get around to actually playing DF. I've only genned a world and the fort Boltedgears

That's from legends mode, silly.

[Max™]

Yar, go into the "Age of Myth" section (since yanno, you can't get out of that age with 20k powers running around) then check out one of the draconic rampages.

Now what's a dwarf gotta do to get some attention around here? There's supposed to be nearly ten thousand beasts in this world but not one of them ever visits poor old Savagesilver. I was expecting to have them queuing at the gates by now.

Are captured current residents somehow blocking wandering megabeasts from appearing?

[shroobot3000]

Megabeasts will not attack the player until they have accumulated a minimum wealth of 100,000☼ or a minimum population of 80 dwarves.

Df wiki on megabeasts. Pretty sure you probably have more than 100,000 in loot, maybe you need to sell it first?

[Max™]

Check legends in a copied save and look for duels between megabeasts.

[kuniqs]

Is this RTS battletoads?

[Staalo]

I checked the Legends and found out what the megabeasts have been doing since my embark:

Nothing.

There are almost no mentions of megabeasts doing anything since 12, not counting the hectic action at the Savagesilver Fight Club of course. Maybe, since they already practically own this world, there's no need to do anything. I can well imagine them growing fat and complacent and not bothering with all this tiresome rampaging business anymore.

BTW, I found out the name of the Fight Club structure: "Beigemosses the Competition of Indignation." Not what I expected.
