increase megabeasts
« on: June 13, 2009, 02:54:41 pm »
not sure if this goes here, please move if it doesn't

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the number of megabeasts and increase the chance of them invading your fortress.

You can stop world gen earlier than normal so that more survive to attack you.

Try increasing their cluster number, perhaps? This really belongs in the modding forum though.

If you add the [SEMIMEGABEAST] tag, then they will spawn as semi-megabeasts and megabeasts, and as semi-megabeasts are much more common than megabeasts, this ends up with a spawning of 2.5 to 3 times as many of the creature.

You could just mod a random creature to megabeast leveled strength. Then you'd get a lot of them.

I wouldn't do pack creatures, unless you made them individually weaker.

We already have dire wolves for that, don't we?

You can have dire wolves that breathe fire, don't bleed, don't feel pain, and don't breathe!

Fun times!

You forget they need the fixed temp and heatdam values from SoF(HFS) for ultimate fun.
