I have an idea...

Take your ordinary kitten fountain. You know the kind.. rains kittens onto a spike trap?

Well! Remove the spike trap.  The room where the kittens land is 1x1 tile, surrounded by 2 walls.
It has a door that leads to the landing pad from the outside. It is closed by a floodgate. Across from the floodgate, is a vertical bars wall, or a fortification. it allows another 1x1 tile room surrounded by walls to have clear view of the landing pad.  In here, we install a caged necromancer.

Now. The !fun!.

Kittens fall from above. Some die on impact. We pull a lever to release the necromancer from his cage. He sees the dead kittens, and raises them as evil killer zombie kittens. These kittens make short work of the ones that manage to survive the fall. If they fight each other from being trapped in the 1x1 room, the necro can see the corpse, and raises it again.  Critical density is therefor avoided. An infinite number of killer kittens can be stored/generated with this room.

When desired, open the floodgate and release the kittens.

Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the zombie kittens of war!

I like it

I'm wondering if my neighboring civs have figured out a way to weaponize mining ... I've had two miners die, and the third is in the hospital with two broken legs.  I haven't even made it to the first caravan yet, and only have 11 10 dwarves left.

Every one of my four cavins (one just knocked the newb miner uncoscious, and the next one killed her) has been from digging up-ramps to clear surface areas.  I've even been careful to dig the highest layer first.  I'm really starting to think the digging/mining mechanics have changed slightly under the hood to cause this.

Use the idea of putting a dwarven child in a pit with 13 years food/booze supply, place a zombie cat in there as well. If the baby survives, he is worthy to become a Dwarven SPESS MEHREEN.
If he re-kills the zombie cat, even better.

fixed.

Living dead moat will most definitely work, so long as you can get the bodies in there.

Simple. Just throw a live body in there, then kill it. Drop a kitten from 10z up, then instantaneous undead fun.

[Archereon]

dropping anything down 10 z levels will kill it, so its basically a giant pit full of framerate killing zombies.

Here's a suggestion: Dump a bunch of corpses down a 1x1 shaft about 2 z levels deep, and wait for them to reanimate. Then dump goblin prisoners, annoying nobles, and all of your corpses down there.

Step 2: dig a shaft leading to an unbreached entrance to the circus, then undermine the zombies, causing them to plummet down to the bottom and die.

Step 3: Wait for them to re-reanimate.

Step 4: Crack open the circus and release the zeds.

Step 5:

Step 6: Profit, assuming clowns will fight zombies.

We need to find a way to control the mists, like some kind of pressure system that works like a fan intake so we can draw it in and repel it if need be.

Hmm. Modding some kind of windmill-screwpump hybrid might do the trick, if it's possible. Imagine, DF: Now with chemical weapons!

[Girlinhat]

Impossible.  But if the mist/soot/etc follows any flow, then it can be controlled and weaponized.  Give it a little time before someone cracks the flow dynamics and figures out how to set up a pressure system to redirect dangerous mist.

Oh, we can wait. But we all want our zombie creator gas chambers. And or zombie mist wall's.

Imagine, a siege that could be reduced to a shambling horde by an instant mist wall that could be blown upwards and then drawn back in.

People are saying that butchered horse's hair has been rising.

I'm not too sure how shaving wool works, but you may be able to make infinite zombies by repeatedly shaving a sheep's wool.

[Girlinhat]

I think it would specifically have to be head wool.  Troll fur from the hands or head would work as well, probably.  There appears to be some token inheritance, where hair from the [HEAD] inherits the tag and can be resurrected.  ‼Science‼ should be performed to determine the exact means of reanimation.

Uniform bug seems to be gone. My woodcutters properly put on their military uniform when active, then when inactive they chuck their uniform and pick up their axe. May not make "combat miners/woodcutters" possible (though I haven't fiddled with all possible settings) but it's nice that it "just works" now.

[Splint]

Saw a giant hamster.
Didn't see them in the raws.
Those things are alot nastier than I would peg a hamster for.

What about the weaponisation of werecreatures? theoretically you would only need one captive werecreature and some chained goblins to createa horde of the monsters, assuming some of the goblins survive.

Does anyone know how lethal werecreatures are? Are we talking one hit kill or minor maiming?

As for the moat of zombies idea; firstly wouldn't it scare all of your dwarfs any time they got near it and secondly won't caravan guards who have ranged weapons spend all their time shooting your moat denizens while the caravan runs to the hills.

Somehow turn a bronze colossus or a similar creature into a vampire. Chain it up, use it as a 'guard' for our fool noble.
