lol necromancers
« on: September 18, 2012, 01:24:15 pm »

I have four necromancer sieges at once. It's my first autumn.

Beginning Status: 10 dwarves
0 caged animals
0 invaders

Now: 5 dwarves
1 pitted dog zombie & 1 pitted necromancer (in a sealed-off pit)
9 assorted caged enemies (including another necromancer)
28 assorted zombies still outside
Zero free cages

I'm expecting to lose hard.

EDIT: I have managed to re-take the door and lock it. Inside is one free zombie dwarf and four survivors, including a Legendary miner. Will this last until migrants come?!

My guess? no. Probably because that miner will go batshit crazy and kill the survivors.

Only if you're unlucky.

One legendary miner should be able to kill one zombie. Just draft him into the military and assign him the pick he's already holding as his weapon.

You should make it. Dwarves are tough little bastards. If the miner doesn't go berserk, you are in the clear

If a single dwarf is still alive and sane, you can make it with enough cleverness.

Not if there's an enemy in line of sight, such as a berserking dwarf. that would have to be dealt with first.

Being attacked by the undead can do that...

But you CAN deal with it, which was my point.
