if you dig down a little bit, you'll come across a cave. don't explore caves until you have a small military going. there are lots of nasties down there.
most of the creatures down there are non aggressive, but these are the few to watch for.
the giant cave spider is the most powerful cavern creature. it spawns uncommonly in the 1st and 2nd layer. they can shoot webs, which is extremely overpowered and practically an insta-kill against melee. they also have no pain and no stun, which means they cannot be knocked unconscious. they also have a powerful venom that can completely paralyze its opponent. use traps or marksdwarves. i usually mod so that they're breedable because they are fucking useful on your side.
troglodytes are an early problem. they spawn in the 1st and 2nd layer and are extremely common. each trog is strong enough to kill a dwarf, but a soldier is more than a match for it. they will charge for your fortress, so be careful. a squad of 10 should take care of them.
cave crocodiles are nasty ambushers. they spawn in the 1st and 2nd layers. they are massive and will generally try to ambush your dwarves by staying in the water. they like to bite off limbs. these guys are incredibly valuable as tamed creatures since they are powerful and lay a crap-ton of eggs.
blind ogres are powerful attackers bigger than a full grown elephant. they spawn in the 2nd and 3rd layers. their size makes them extremely formidable opponents. these guys like to strangle your dwarves and are a match for any dwarf. fight them using superior numbers.

well apparently it's vampiric. i don't think the wiki has record of such beasts.
i don't actually know for sure since i killed it before it hit me

i assumed it was the kind without powers, so i just killed it. it didn't get a chance to hit me so i don't know what it does.
if it is vampiric, why isn't it on the wiki already?
has anyone else got this description before?

while we're on the subject, i have a problem getting a caravan guard out of a cage.
when i build the cage and order his release, they just put him in another cage.

that doesn't really matter for me because i don't use doors.
i used to have war dogs defending the surface, they were not very effective since they would get killed before they could do any damage (even to kea people)
the new GCS and war bears i have are much more effective though.

still trying to find magma. the third cavern layer is a deep chasm with an underground lake at the bottom. it's also 100 z levels below the surface.
even if i find it i don't think i can use it very well.
KOBOLD AMBUSH!!!!!
they got past my trap line but not my war cave spiders.

i like to keep my valuables underground. they can steal whatever they like on the surface.

« on: August 18, 2013, 09:01:12 am »By all means, explore it. I suppose I should also mention the candy weapon at the bottom. You draw it forth like Excalibur.
Edit; Oh, another thing. I guess I should mention that building is probably full of undead. They are numerous, but weak. Just go in with a fairly strong military and you'll be fine.
aren't you the guy that fell for this b4? i saw you on TV tropes.
SpiralDimentia you evil motherfucker.
highmax, you should probably prepare for a long fight.
