So I'm playing my fortress, and while I get increasing-in-size yearly sieges, I have yet to see a megabeast of any kind. My fortress value is over 1 mil at this point; so what's going on?

[Crafty Barnardo]

I think mega beasts are completely random, so it is probably just bad luck.

[Flok Speargrabber]

Or good, if you look at it in a different light.

[penguinofhonor]

Just be glad that you aren't getting one, and then having another come while you're recovering from the first attack. Never fun.

[Flok Speargrabber]

Nah, I have plans for megabeasts.

Bridges don't squish them.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you might need the baron (or perhaps some other noble) to get megabeasts. I don't get them either but I almost always cap my pop at or under 50.

Or, worse, while the first is still there (especially when you're completely unprepared for anything to attack).

I haven't had a megabeast in the 26 years of this fortress. Plenty of sieges and ambushes though. Oddly I haven't gotten a count/duke either... over 5 mil worth and considered a " city " of 125 with the dungeon master and philosopher ( who came alone, oddly ). Maybe I need to discover the chasm on my map first.

I had one pop up in the second year once.  After that pretty much every engraving was "The Hydra is striking down the dwarf."  Geeze, guys, get over it already.

[Khosan]

I got my first one last night after about...7 or 8 years.  Titan.  He walked into one of my cage traps.

I had my first in the winter of my second year, and my second in the summer of my third - a hydra and a titan, respectively. I dunno; something about this site seems to attract a lot of dwarves, which in turn has allowed me to grow it really very quickly.
