[Roundabout Lout]

I have somehow genned a world with too many unstoppable megabeasts. I haven't had any trained adventurers survive more than one round with any of them.
There's a cyclops who now wields a shield. Used it to break my head open before i even got to attack. He's got thirty kills, and now that he has a shield, he's unstoppable.
Then there's a skeletal titan. Now that shit is just scary.
And there's even a surviving demon with thirty of her own kills.
I'm in for the fight of my DF career. It makes me wish the Army Arc was done...

Quick! Down some sleeping pills and jump into that pond! Its the only hope.

[Skid]

Could I have the world gen info? That sounds like fun.

[Roundabout Lout]

Sure, this seems to be it.

Jesus Christ, SKELETAL TITAN?!

Damn.

But there is hope. Either:

A. Socks. Not even the mightiest of beasts can withstand the onslaught of a thin piece of cloth.

B. Crossbowmen. Won't do much against that skeletal titan (!) but it should bring down just about anything else. 

C. Mod in an unstoppable weapon and equip your warrior with it.

C.Unstopable weapons can't stop sheild blocks.

 Damn, they can have shields now?!

 Delete the world, and hope it is gone for good. The horrors of such a place must never spread.

 Also: Wrestlers. 20 of 'em. A large enough force should get the damned thing tired.

 That or make it awesome enough to acend to godhood.

[Skid]

The shield probably was stolen from a killed/wrestled adventurer or maybe historical figure.

I once had an Ettin running around wielding an adamantine high boot...

[Roundabout Lout]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to train a legend just to kill that cyclops.
My latest try.

*** STARTING NEW GAME ***
** Starting Adventurer **
You pick up the Iron maul and put it in your Rope reed backpack.
The Cyclops blocks The spinning Iron maul!
The Cyclops bashes You in the left lower arm with her Iron shield!
It is broken!
Your left elbow has been badly sprained!
You lose hold of the Iron spear.

Things went downhill after that...

Hey, yougiedeggs, I'm having no luck with the seeds you posted earlier. Can you upload your region file or something?

[Thuellai]

Well, it depends what size a world he genned and probably some other parameters too - What world-gen set did you use along with those seeds?

I set it as large, but other than that it's completely normal. Installed a second copy of 40_d to make sure it was clean. No mods or anything.

Every world I gen on this new version kills of the megabeasts WAY too fast, and I'd kill for a chance to get mauled by insane creatures have fun.

[Thuellai]

Try genning it at a different world size.  I don't know which size youngie used, so that could be part of it - I know topographically speaking, using the same seed gets you different things at different sizes - I found a great large world-gen courtesy of SL, and it worked great for large worlds, made a ton of great fortress sites.  Tried it on medium to increase FPS and have an easier time finding good locations, and the world was completely different (and not half as good).

[Zorgn]

Shouldn't be difficult to fix then. *goes off to gen worlds*

[Roundabout Lout]

It's a standard sized world, not large, I'll just upload the save. That way you can fight the cyclops, and he'll actually have the shield. The save will be on the DF File Depot shortly under pregenerated worlds- the Everlasting Plane

I realized the difficulty you'll be having. There's a modded entity raw included in there for elf and dwarf cities.  If you're looking for the uber shield-clops, he's in the far NW corner of the map.
