Megabeasts (Dragons)
« on: December 15, 2011, 09:15:10 pm »

Will megabeasts only come to your fortress once?  I had a dragon visit mine (the only one in game as far as I know) but since I couldn't get my army to beat him, I think I had used Runesmith to mark the "Left Map" flag.  Does this mean the dragon won't ever come back or is there still a chance I'll get a visit?

During normal gameplay, they only ever visit your map once because they never leave once showing up.

Using a memory hacking tool to cheat him off the map?  Your guess is as good as mine what happens then.  You're outside the normal operation of the game.

I figured it would end up being something like that.  Is there a way to actually spawn the dragon on my map using some kind of hack?

Maybe check with Runesmith again to see if you can still see it in that program, and if you can, switch "left map" back off? If making it have left the map disappeared it, maybe making it not have left the map will reappear it.

The only other alternative is waiting and hoping another dragon shows up. Well, that or changing some other creature into a dragon, which I'm 90% sure Runesmith can also do, but IIRC in previous versions, at least, creatures morphed didn't actually change size, so if you morphed a cat you'd have a cat-sized "dragon."

I checked on Runesmith and he's not there anymore.  I'm looking to kill this one particular dragon due to the fact that my world is in the Draconic Age.  I'm going to try my hand at Adventurer mode to hunt this guy down.
