I've dealt with a dozen FBs so far. But every year 1-3 new ones appear. Does this rate ever slow down? This is a 13yo fort in a freshly generated medium island world. How many FBs have YOU killed in a single game?

[MaskedMiner]

Yeah, there are tons of them. Just check the legends.

[Telgin]

Presumably you could exhaust all of them from a world, but I think that would take a very long time.  From my understanding, forgotten beasts are shared across the world, so they'll keep coming at more or less the current rate until you do finish them all off.

I actually have no idea how many there are in a world like that, but I doubt any fort would normally kill them all within its lifespan.

[MaskedMiner]

Thats mainly because of the syndromes though.

[Telgin]

True, but I've read that even 50 year old or older forts still receive attacks from FBs, so it's safe to assume that there's more than any normal fort could hope to kill.

I think my longest lasting fort was close to 20 years old, and I'd killed a few dozen by then.  I just got bored with the fort, even losing 1/3 of the population to a FB once didn't bring it down.

[Wastedlabor]

Time to build the PokeFortress and capture them all. 

[Agent_86]

I wonder if anyone's actually successfully killed all the FB's in a world before.  If not...   

[Babylon]

Might be possible in a very old world?

[i2amroy]

Or a very small one, yes. The questions you should rather be asking is if anyone has ever killed all of the forgotten beasts in a medium world.

[albatross]

Oh my god >.<
Sheesh. Well, I'm not too worried about syndromes because they all get lava treatment for that particular reason. Lava + water if necessary. I was kind of hoping there'd be like 50 max but it also occurred to me that towards the end, their rate of arrival would decrease, rather than stop, right? It'd drop close to zero, but there'd always be one or two somewhere in the world. My goal was actually to wait until I could be sure the caverns would be safe, but it seems there's no other way but to wall off ALL the map edges in caverns. Let 'em come, damnit. Doesn't matter where they get the magma treatment - either in my gauntlet or at the map edge. It's going to be a bitch to locate the cavern entrances...

[Loud Whispers]

The max is 100000. Have fun.

[Tahlin]

Weird, Last time I played I just got one during a period of 30 years. :3 Lots of titans though.

[Telgin]

Whereas I almost never get titans.  I think I've seen 2 in 3 forts.  One of which got killed by a hunter.

I tend to get minotaurs instead, which are a laughably weak foe in comparison to some FBs and titans.

[Quietust]

The max is 100000. Have fun.

Nonsense - the number of forgotten beasts in any given world is equal to the number of Underground Regions in said world, which is typically less than 1000 (even for a LARGE REGION world).

somewhere in a place in his embark there is an open circus? possibility?
