If the size of megabeasts is increased in the raw files, they will be more difficult to kill during world generation which in turn will lead to a longer history. As an example, size 30 megabeasts will typically result in an approximately 600 year world history, all other worldgen factors remaining constant.

Mighty creatures that attack your fortress. When one enters your area, the game will announce its presence and its name.

The type of megabeast appears to be random, but the timing may not be. A certain wealth or a population of around 100 may trigger one.[Verify] Force-quitting and loading a fortress from a few days before a megabeast attack may result in a different type arriving on the same dayv0.28.181.40d, depending on what has survived world generation.

Included in this category are the Bronze Colossus, Dragon, Hydra, and Titan.

If the size of megabeasts is increased in the raw files, they will be more difficult to kill during world generation which in turn will lead to a longer history. As an example, size 30 megabeasts will typically result in an approximately 600 year world history, all other worldgen factors remaining constant.
