Hmmm, I just had the interesting experience of finding actual bodies impaled on upright wooden spikes in a sacked town which makes me wonder, if that isn't just a description but actually sometime which takes place... does that mean this could be encountered as well:


Because, uh... some of these megamegabeast worlds get a bit crazy, case in point, that is by no means anywhere unusual:












...know what's craziest to me?

When I toggled "only important events" off, it revealed all of these "unimportant events":

That's in a 6 year old world btw...

I'm loving the idea of how folks would respond to this though:


"Oh god, they left... so many dead, everything on fire... but at least it's over."
'Uh, sir, one of our scouts report more dragons heading this way.'
"WHAT? How many this time? 1300? 1500? Well?"
'No sir, 156.'
"WHAT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX THOUSAND?"
'No, just 156.'



"Oh... well, that's not so bad I guess."

I kind of want to generate a world like this, add the [CHILD] tag to dragons and see if I can capture and tame an entire draconic invasion force.

I'm surprised that that didn't crash world gen.

So what's the most common beast that is created through this, Rocs?

Look at the early posts.  Worldgen did crash when trying to make monster worlds.  A lot.  This is the world that squeaked through, and seems to be near the limits of how beastly a world can be without crashing.

Yeah, but what I'm surprised about is the fact that 4699 Rocs is within those limits.

Oh heck naw, that was only 50k mega/semimega in that world! Full 100k both is probably worse.

Looks like it's almost equal amounts of Giant, Dragon, Roc, Colossus, Hydra, Cyclops, Minotaur and Ettin during worldgen. For some reason I'm still seeing a majority of rocs in most embarks.

Maybe flight has something to do with it?  All of the others (including dragons) are land creatures.

It is easier to get Rocs to swarm and follow you somewhere, more will stick with you since they form a big cloud of death rather than lagging behind trees and such.

Hello folks, just here to report that I think I've established a new record high in Megabeast concentration!
