So, an attempt to research what dungeon types spawn what things while I be doin' some dungeon crawlin'. Daggerfall Chronicles data copied as starting point, area message list copied for convenience (methink i'll merge two into one later, for more convenience).

Just in case someone wants to throw some data in, please make additions in bold. To be fair, i have no idea how big is the difference rechecking can make, so far i've only seen inconsistencies with Natural Caves, just once at that (which aren't marked here yet, i've gotten whole bunch - couple nymphs, a vampire and something else off the list in one. Now it refuses to repeat, sigh, well at least i might find all the dunj welcome message typos :).

Bah, has doubts now. Some rooms / tiles spawn specific creatures? (imps in cages, some rats in some rooms that would never spawn in the rest of dungeon aside of that) Needs more thorough approach? (fairly sure that vampire ancient standing in a corridor was legit, still) What if:

• Quest targets are not considered already, of course, so aren't water spawns.
• Mark hallway / quest room / whatever dead end room appearances separately? (gonna try with next char)

I reckon we should rename Lesser Daedra -> Daedroth and Vampire Ancient -> Ancient Vampire to match ingame texts. Maybe. If it was consistent thru updates, at least.

Levels

Attempt to get some stats on PC level vs encounters, while i'm at it.

Feels like doing that per dungeon type should be more interesting, as, for example, Prison has rather weak set of mobs compared to Coven, so i guess that's kinda important for doing this silly research. Another playthrough soon, then, hehe, commented out the scratchpad.
