v0.31 Talk:Megabeast

• The number of megabeasts might be affected by the world gen params

[MOUNTAIN_CAVE_MIN:25] and [NON_MOUNTAIN_CAVE_MIN:50]. I guess each cave must have a (semi-)megabeast. --TomiTapio 01:00, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

In my experience, megabeasts (and kobolds) seem to only hang out in mountain caves, while all others (mountain or non) are populated by semimegabeasts. --Quietust 01:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

• Reading Legends mode... one quadruped marsh titan was killed by a sylvan elf! (Genesis mod) --TomiTapio 01:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I can confirm that I have several titans were killed during worldgen, and none of them by other megabeasts. So the 'megabeasts are invincible during worldgen' info is incorrect. --Aequor 17:45, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I had a bronze colossus visit me soon after saving. I reloaded that save and at about the same time a dragon showed up instead. What is the mechanism for megabeasts in fortress mode? --Peglegpenguin 06:19, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

• The And/Or question about spawning megabeasts

I can confirm that the spawning of megabeast is either when you reach 100.000 wealth or 100 people. I got a humanoid megabeast made out of steam or water appearing after I created around 200.000 wealth and had 52 people. Unfortunately I didnt had the chance to either kill or see where he went. This is with build 0.31.16 -- Mr. Seeker, 18 October 2010

Pop Limit of Megabeasts

If I keep this hydra alive at the bottom of my pit, will it prevent future megabeasts/forgotten beasts from appearing? Aussiemon 00:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

No.--Another 12:50, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

titans

Titans don't seem to fall into the class of megabeasts as of 2010. After worldgen, they don't appear in the world until certain fortress-mode conditions are met, not all of them are hostile, and they may be slain in the course of history. Also, the Age of Heros can begin after slaying all dragons, hydra and colossi, without ever encountering a titan. DokEnkephalin 20:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm quite sure titans (and FBs) do not count as megabeast, but I dare not edit the article; I haven't even played DF2010 yet. --Nahno 13:47, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Conditions

I can verify that in 31.18 I had a population of ~50 dwarves and I was invaded by a Minotaur, so it's definitely less than 80. I'd have to find the save to verify my fortress wealth.Schm0 01:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
