I did a pocket worldgen with loads of civs, but a tiny maximum civ size.
As I suspected, this means that even around the 1000-year mark there is still war, but there is something else:
Corpses... OF DOOM!

I have no idea how to beat these, they're insanely tough (Attacks that would usually chop parts off only rarely have said effect, and these tolerate even decapitation)
As well as their insane toughness (Their strength is quite something too), these particular corpses have no disadvantages in comparison to living things.

Just one of these would be a threat to an adventurer.
And it's never just one; I have no idea how many undead reside in these towers.

So, any ideas?
I've tried blunt weapons (Just bruises them), sharp weapons (Chopping bits off is difficult and does nothing), and I expect arrows would do nothing.

It appears you're going to a necromancer tower. I heard if you become a vampire they will ignore you (since you're considered undead) but I don't know. Worth a shot maybe?

My intention is slaughter.

Become a vampire, and zombies can't see you. That's basically how it works.

That's the lame way of going about it.

Sneak and throw tables at them?

It takes a long ass time, but a few things to note:

a) You can kite them pretty well, particularly now thanks to the sneaking mechanics. Keep moving (not too fast or you'll get exhausted) and they chase you, eventually the faster ones will overtake the others and you can pummel them without being surrounded.

b) pulp legs or feet and they will drop and basically miss you every time

c) If you see necromancers around, don't use a slashing attack or severed body parts will come at you. Take out the necromancers first (high ambush skill, blow to the head, run away, repeat) and this won't happen, but if there's multiple necros they'll raise necro corpses too.

d) Throw stuff at them. Sometimes you'll get a lucky hit

e) I find that, oddly, severing or pulping both arms makes undead collapse regardless of other injuries

f) If you get injured, run off-site (again not super fast or you'll just collapse, but fast enough that you can't get outrun), fast travel, then come back. Crushed zombies shouldn't respawn, allowing you to whittle down their numbers, and you'll heal up fine.

g) if there's a truly huge, impenetrable horde and the necros are moving with them, just get the hell out of dodge and find a tower with a smaller population. Not all towers have that many in them, though in a compact world it might be impossible.

h) train up more skills by beating on weaker targets first. Undead are widely considered the hardest creatures in the game.
