Animate dead question
« on: September 12, 2012, 03:51:40 pm »

I know both regional and necromancer-raised zombies get an attribute boost, and even zombies created during worldgen are already ripped when they arrive at my fort, but is it cumulative? If something kills the zombie, and the necromancer raises it again, will it gain another bonus to it's strenght, repeat as desired, all attribute 5000 god mode zombies?

Only strength increases, and I doubt that it's cumulative. Why not test it in the arena?

IIRC being raised sets their stats to the "buff" range, but it is a set, not an increase. That means that it doesn't stack and (if you somehow modded this in) even if their strength or other stats increase before the second raise they will still have the same as before.
