Underground caverns do not spawn enough meat.
« on: April 21, 2010, 04:33:22 pm »

I get like, 2 troglodytes, rarely a troll, and some bird thing only every season or two.

Are there not supposed to be like, SIEGES of trolls and troglodytes?
Is there a way to make more?

There sometimes are. I've seen swarms of trogs before. About a dozen trogs all came onto the map in one huge group. They don't have the siege AI and instead function more like wild animals, but they did attack anything that came nearby.

Seems very random, and may also depend on your worldgen.

I usually set my squads to kill order whatever's down there until I get something very formidable, like a groups of nearly 15 crundles, those I let wander into my cage traps

Are they also hidden? I found a body of a dead cave swallow man with no combat reports that I did it, and it was not there before because I was going to make a wall around there to allow a more 'Controlled' entry of everything.

Other things can kill them, and they can even die of old age.

2.Find a
