Well, long story short, I was too complacent after 5 or so years within range of a tower and thought my two macelords and 10 elite marksdwarfs could handle pretty much anything.  Then 60+ equipped undead roll in.  Maybe I just have bad luck with sieges, but I've never seen even a 60 man goblin siege; this took me by complete surprise.  Just managed to wall off the entrance, but eventually got to thinking they would make great training fodder if my guys could face 2 or 3 at a time, say, in an arena.  Or combine with the necromancer leading the charge for a permanent, live-target, shooting gallery.

It's not building destroyer-proof (though can easily be made so), and will not work on anything yak-sized or bigger, but for dwarf-sized enemies this works beautifully.

Zombie's trap avoid? I forget. If they are, sweet trap! If they aren't, what's the point?
Fun job w/ the .gifs.

If the original creature was trap-avoid, their zombie is. This means zombies made from your dwarves will be trap-avoid as well, which can be dangerous if you're relying primarily on traps to stop invasions.

I can confirm if the trap was built AFTER the dorf died, he can be trapped.

So it is similar to that human-siegers-can't-be-trapped-by-traps-that-human-diplomat-previously-saw. Rebuilding in the same spot from the same components makes a new trap.
