Apparently my zombie invasion is all archers who still have and remember how to use their bows.
This is new, right? Zombies didn't always keep all their skills from life, did they?

Ohgodsone'sinmymoat.

Yup new. zombies are now perfectly able to use what they are holding in their hands. Adn that includes the armour they wear.

Have fun trying to deal with iron or worse steel clad zombies.

There are 60 of them! They've slaughtered three migrating herds of Rhinoceros! Every time some creature wanders onto my spit of land it looks like static on screen from the number of shots raining down and about and everywhere, since they've spread themselves pretty evenly around the map.

Who cares what armor they have, there's no fighting this.

Looks like my fortress will devote its second year (and possibly ever year after that) to cowering in the caverns, walling off enough of them to start a Giant Toad Farm.

Ye gods. I'm pretty sure making sacrifices to the Great Toad is the only way you're getting out of this one.

Unless you can figure out some kind of deal with Lucifer DFHack.

Pumping magma to the surface works too, seeing as zombies are no longer immune to fire/magma.

Well, I managed to punch an 11x11 hole through the aquifer and build a 2z high wall around said hole, but with the (rough! argh!) walls covered in crawling, climbing, crossbow corpses, that area is dead to me... So I can't pump Magma to the surface, but I could, I suppose, lure them underground to burn... if I had any metal on the map with which to build magma pumps.

I could build an underground Atom Smasher, but I consider that Gauche.

My military is... not.

My one consolation is that the Necromancer does not seem to have the ability to raise said Rhinoceros into Zombie Rhinoceros.

i wonder if you can get elite archer zombies, and if so can they be identified so you don't get your archers murdered.
