How does the respawn of creatures work

[Goedeke]

Does anyone know how the respawn of creatures in the world works?

I realized that some (very few) creatures respawn or new ones get added to the world after a new chapter, but I couldn't figure out a pattern.

I know it is a balancing issue, but I hoped for a higher "respawn" rate. More like in gothic for example, where a lot of enemies got added with every new chapter. In Drova the world starts to feel empty quite fast, if you killed a lot of monsters.

Is the respawn in any way tied to the decay of corpses. I realized that killed creatures decay a little more with every chapter (a neat detail). Is there maybe a certain treshold of how many corpses have to be decayed to let some new ones respawn?

And what does everyone else think about the current respawnrate? Is it good?

Thank you for the link. So is there an overwiew on when, where and how new enemies get added with every chapter? Does it always happen or does the player need to fulfill certain criteria (e.g. kill some monsters or will they get always added no matter what)? And does anyone know which monsters get changed?

I've cleared most of the map in act 1, except for some late game monsters and from what i've seen they appear when the world is changing after some major story events. You will know when you reach that point. Some escort quests can spawn enemies too.

Well I am in act 4 now and some were definetely added by now. I have the feeling most spawned after finishing act 3 (of course the one the heath, but also some on the paths I think). Though, it sadly not enough the keep the world feel alive. It is mostly an empty slaughterhouse right now :)

Is there a way to increase the spawn rate, since the map feels really empty. Why not just repawn after going sleeping like in any other game? Cause one of the main fun things to do in the game is fight and adventure. Otherwise getting more powerful seems pointless.
