yep! Thanks Xien!

Orthy normally spawns before turn 20 in my game, and i know he is responsible when i see death messages come up.

Thats completely wrong. On quick speed Orthus appears at turn 51. IIRC its 76 for normal, 150 something for epic and must be 300-odd for Marathon. He shouldn't be showing up at turn 20, unless you changed something.

He normally shows up pretty quickly when i play too. Prob around turn 20 or so but i normally play with the barbarian world option enabled. Think that might be why he shows up so early?

I've seen Mary Morbus, and Sailor's Dirge exactly once each. Tum Tum a few times. Never gurid, margalard, or leviathan.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that there was a python error which permanantly broke their spawning. Was probably in the FFH bug thread.

It should have been fixed in .41 so we might see them a bit more often.

Maybe you play on classic start?
Then he spawns earlier.

In this game I'm playing now (Orbis), I've seen Orthus, then Acheron and then Tum Tum (all spawned near me so I could kill them).

In my previous game (FF), Leviathan and one of the Apes spawned, though I only managed to kill Leviathan.

Never saw the others

I would REALLY like to see them more too. The one time I saw Tumtum he was real underpowered imo. I have never seen the apes, Leviathan, or Mary Morbus.

It sounds like you can go into the xml files, relating to eventsinfo, and make adjustments in the events about Gurid, Leviathan, whoever... seems by default there's a 20% chance of something triggering, but a weighting thing that happens as well. Suffice it to say I don't understand it, but a couple posters above talked about adjusting a "weight" to -1, and I guess the % to 100, can't hurt to try, or alternately to have some smarties spell it out real nice, clear and slow what to adjust

Alternately it would be a fun option for "Challenge" to select in a Custom Game, call it something like "Parade of Terrors" or something silly like that. Again, popular items like having all unique features available in a given game started out as people giving each other tips as to how to adjust a number in the XML to guarantee they all popped up, eventually a tickbox appeared in some version, maybe barbarian "specials" are popular enough to get a tickbox for user convenience as well, who knows?

Tumtum got a nice boost in .41, he gained the Hero promotion and two more attack.
