Forgotten Beast, no beasts, cannot force.
« on: April 23, 2015, 02:09:11 pm »
Good Day,

I have been playing a lot of MW (v40 version) and for some reason I haven't met any FB's on the any map that I played.
Also I have tried to use DFhack command force megabeast and it didn't work at all.
Have I missed something or I just don't have the luck to have !FUN!?

Best Regards,
CzT

Does your world have Forgotten Beasts in the first place? They might have all died off.

The force command doesn't work anymore, and it is potentially possible that forgotten beasts could be extincted. There's a limited amount created at world generation and dwarven sites can now be attacked by forgotten beasts meaning that if enough forgotten beasts attack and die, though unlikely, they might be extincted.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

FB are procedually generated, cant be forced and appear randomly.

Force only doesn't work for sieges, the rest of them are still run by events and thus still work.

Forcing forgotten beasts never worked... not even in 34.11 ;)

Well, yes, but saying that the "force command doesn't work anymore" is mostly wrong.

It is?

Force does work on caravans and migrants as far as I know, but never worked on megabeasts and FBs... and sadly no longer on sieges/ambushes.

It worked for migrants pretty well last I tried. Hell, I have video evidence.

There might be an easier way, but you could take a backup of the save, abandon and go into the legends viewer if you haven't dumped the xml.

If you remember the age you are in you can tell if there are any left, cross-check with this.
