No random creatures in caverns?

[CoolNitro]

I've been though a few forts now and I have yet to encounter any creature bar cave swallows and rodent invaders, where are all the plump helmet men gone?

The game is trolling me now, right after posting this a possessed dwarf created a figurine of a plump helmet man...

Solved via reinstall.

Bump for input, is this a bug on my end or is no one getting random creature spawns.

had some trogs

I've got all the stuff I'd usually expect to find in caverns

Wildlife no, I never saw anything in Steam version.

That being said, the metric ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of truckload of lizardmens sneaking absolutely everywhere, climbing absolutely every climbable surface and able to maul any forgotten beast foolish enough to dare put a foot into the first layer maybe are for something. I perfectly understand why nothing dare go into this forsaken pit that is the first cavern.

I had an FB appear on a section of the first cave that was separated by lake, with no path to my fort. It was immediately torn apart by a bunch of cavern dwellers who I guess arrived but could never path to my fort. They're still out there somewhere. Figure I'll just carve fortifications into a cavern wall and use them for target practice

Cave crocs, Drastha, giant moles, giant olms... I haven't gone too deep but I get wildlife at least.

Ah good it's just a bug then will try a reinstall. Side note though I think I collected more silk in this last fort due to this bug then I've ever allowed to be collected in classic.

it depend mof the map, in two of my fortress 0 problems coming for the caverns, in my last game, an entire civilization slaughtered by olm men (7 raids in a row)

I'm not real deep, but the first cavern I found had some cave crocodiles in it.

Confirmed that uninstall / deleting folder just in case / reinstall resolved the issue I now see trolls.

If they can't reach you they usually stick around till either something else kills em or they die of starvation.

I've seen several and several Let's Plays/Streams of players finding them. So, "it's just you" unless the very latest patch did something, there.

Do you see a lot of blood all over the place? Ash and bones? Webs? If so, you may wish to start building walls and backing out as fast as you can...

I got it resolved by reinstalling, something broke causing only passive creatures to spawn no matter how many times I recreated a map or placed a new fort.
