Buddy your screwed! Buddy your guaranteed lots of reanimated visitors with a Tower neighbor. If your still not getting Undead sieges and Neck Romancers, look for a Tower neighbor when choosing an embark location. Ya might have to regen the world, as not all will generate Towers, they are a random thing. Good luck, Knutor

How do you know?
I'm trying it at the very moment before you say that.

Experience.  Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, and the lesson afterwards.

If memory serves Towers are the result of a history seed, so if you find a great spot with a volcano, terrifying surroundings, flux, deep&shallows metals, sand and acces to rhinoceros you should be able to just regenerate that same world with a diferent history seed but the same world seed until you get your friendly enighborhood necromancer. And if your lucky, a war with the elves.
And I belive towers always happen on the outskirts of civilized areas.

Early on there is only 2 ways to handle your Migrants

Safe Way -
Getting Migrants in without getting the critters in.
Step 1, Build Slabs at the Mason's Workshop
...
Gambling Way -
Step 1, Open the door

Made me lol.

But seriously, I prefer digging multiple entrances near the edges of the map, so the migrants get underground quickly.

e.g. I have Zones 1,2,3, and 5.
If the migrants arrive in Zone 3, and the undead are in Zone 5,
then open the floodgates in Zone 5 3.

Sinister/Haunted/Terrryfing seem to influence wheter you get evil rain/undead, but it's not guaranteed. Another slightly forgotten perk of evil biomes is the more aggressive wildlife you face. Ogres, beak dogs, harpies and nightwings make for particularly Fun embarks, just pay attention to the biomes. Non-undead terrifying deserts offer the awesome combo of both nightwings and GDSs.
