I embarked on one, fed it 7-8 embarks worth of dorfs, 4 of those were warriors. I was well and truly trounced again and again. The necromancer was titled "Bass Necromancer". Now whether he was in a metal band or had a perchance for fish i don't know...
From what I know, it appears only the best necromancers can perform necromancy as a full time job. His apprentices have to do side-jobs to make money. I guess that would make working at McDonalds a bit awkward.

But when some fat american gobshite goes off his nut at you because you ran out of McNuggets you can murder them with a rabble of necro-burgers.
They have to be raw hamburgers though. Prepared meat isn't resurrectable for some reason.

Bit of a repost, but I did a bit of !!SCIENCE!! and discovered this awesome fort defense. You have to be embarked on a necro tower though.
1. Attach a lever to necro tower's door.
2. Remove a tile of roofing on top of the tower.
3. When gobbos/elves/titans/something invades, UNLEASH THE UNDEAD! (make sure no necros get out)
4. Close door after a few undead come out and they kill the threat.
5. Get you hammerdwarves and macedwarves to kill the undead.
6. Dump all the bodies through the hole of the tower for !!!SCIENCE!! and MOAR Zombies!

The only thing you can do now is use the zombies for land surfing/zombie mosh pit surfing.

If only friendly necro'd raised friendly undead. We'd finally have a solution to random killer horse hair attacks on evil embarks.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

I believe that is a particular slab that gives adventurers necromancy magic.
