The easiest Demon ever
« on: August 10, 2009, 08:02:01 pm »
ok so I finally found the demon pit after searching the entire pit and by then I had a really large army so I figured I'd let the demons spawn. I waited a full year before the "demons have emerged from the pit" message came up and when I checked the unit list there was only one and it was the "Demon" demon no smaller frog demons of Spirts of fire that was it.  When I checked the wiki it said you could tell what demons would spawn from what was in the pit. Mine had the items for all the types of demons, filth, ashes, unknown substance,  mud, and hugggge amounts of caged people.  So is that it for me or do the demons come in waves and not just one large attack? have I found something wrong withthe wiki?

The lesser demons start out stealthed. Until they actually bump into one of your units you won't be able to see them.

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

what if you found the 'den' but all it had were engravings? It's been 4 years since I've unearthed it and nothing has happened. Does reveal.exe ruin HFS?

Sounds like a bug, how many glowing pits do you have?

If you have more than 1, then odds are it was supposed to spawn a whole mix of demons (i got Froggies and Tentacles at once in the past) but something broke the spawn.

Did you kill the generic leader demon? If not, killing him might trigger the spawns, if so, then i guess you got 'lucky' and the spawns broke. Or possibly they're just really delayed and a few years from now you will suddenly get surprise buttsecks from a spirit of fire.


It's possible your bug may be related to my vanishing underground pools bug, who knows. The thing to keep in mind is that only Toady knows exactly how things work (or don't), what we know is only what we've been able to work out from testing, and DF is a frigging gigantic game so we're constantly finding new things.
