Maybe it's just bad luck so far (missing rF++, or slow race/god, or no digging, or too dependent on hit-and-run tactics.)
Not a criticism -- I keep sticking my nose in because I want to learn what it takes to beat them.

I think I've seen more volcanoes in Orc than anywhere else. Which means, of course, great odds that the portal will have closed before you find it.
Still, better than that time I had a bazaar appear in Slime. :p

Bailey should be fine , just make sure you don't open any secret doors, and turn back immediately if you see something nasty. The others you'll need special resistance sets for; rC++ for Ice Cave, rF++ and preferably a wand of digging for Volcano, and so on.

Mad Cavalier vs. Max Axemen, or the same one?

I don't know the names - one was the six pointed star fort, the other one was the series of square rooms connected at the corners, with glass windows and a bunch of gnolls and hobgoblins.

The fort was with orcs. They are both listed as "bailey" in the morgue file:
