Deanimation of corpses?
« on: December 07, 2012, 11:49:27 pm »

So I got an adventurer to become a necro for the first time and naturally I wanted to resurrect everything
now I have a noticeable drop in my FPS, though not its still above 60 usually, and half of the time I need to cross a river my corpses find a pack of dingoes to rape, and its frustrating to sift through the corpses to find the dingo corpses and body parts to butcher for the skillups

obviously I regret resurrecting all of those dingo skins and skeletons of guys I found in dungeons at this point, but I wanna keep the 5+ SMBs I have
I want to know if by attacking a corpse you have to make all the corpses unhostile, are you able to kill all of your corpses, then res just the SMBs to make them follow you, or will they not follow you after you kill them then res em?

edit: also would it be too much to ask for an ability to deanimate corpses?

double edit: well lucky me I don't have to worry about it now because somehowI found a lair with 5 fucking dragons in it, and they burned up most of my non-semi-megabeast corpses, though having this answered would still be nice for others who end up in this sort of situation
and yes the dragons all died

Hi,

  if you attack one time to one of your undead, all of them will stop following you. But I think (I'm not sure, I don't remember) that if you try to kill one, all your undead companions will attack you. Any way, it will be hard to kill an undead semi-megabeast.

They just walk away. The undead will not fight back under any circumstances outside of a counterattack.

If you attack one of your undead, your entire cadre of undead followers becomes neutral to you and refuses to follow you.

They will not fight back, so you can sit there and kill every single one of them repeatedly and gain legendary stats

Punching an undead about two times in the lower body is usually enough to deanimate them but yeah pretty much what everybody else said.

Be warned that causing your undead to stop following by way of attacking one of them will make any with a kill streak show up as quest targets for the nearest civilization. This can get very frustrating when your quest log gets buried with "kill ___'s corpse" with pointers to non-existent lairs.
