So I've embarked on an Evil mountain(well, save for a bit of neutral plains to the north).
I had my reasons.
I'm pretty determined here after the pathetic failure of my first attempt, the pretty-much-a-horror-movie lark that was my first reclaim and the honestly eerie adventurer's visit which followed it. I'm like, building a whole story around this stuff :p The Anguished Lancer will obtain the mineral wealth of the Insensitive Tooth of Murders, come hell or high water.
So; to the practical issues. Six of my seven managed to seal themselves inside, but the animated dead are pretty much besieging the place. Farming and brewing are operating fine, but beyond that I'm in trouble. Two more dorfs have fallen due to tantrums, and when I got a migrant wave they all got picked off on the surface. I won't have a hope unless I can somehow get them inside without the undead following them, or more likely getting in first. Just opening the doors gets everyone mauled by zombies.
Current plan for the next wave is long tunnels festooned with stone fall traps, allowing the migrants to get through whilst destroying pursuing undead. Close the door once they're through. But I suspect the migrants will scatter the second they see a zombie so I'm not sure if it will work. In terms of assets the fort has two marksdwarves and can make stone traps but little else. As you migth guess this is the first time I've gotten anywhere with evil embarks beyond 'everyone immediately dies'. How can I pull this off? Will my plan work, is there a more effective way to go about things, or is there a guide of some sort floating around?
