Necromancer Enbarks are Fun
« on: March 16, 2012, 06:35:07 pm »

I tried to embark on a necromancer tower. It was fun. I tried making a tower to make the necros jealous, but my sole hammerdorf was overrun after a bit so I abandoned. When I reclaimed, they left their tower to steal mine, trading a well built and nicely furnished tower for two horridly and sloppily floors of the tower I tried to make. I accepted this generous trade by running into their tower and locking them out. I thought dorfs were stupid.

Now make a hole in the ceiling of their tower and use them to train marksdwarves.

Fill the tower full of magma and let them back in.

I tried this.  Locked the doors, drilled a hole in the top and flooded it.  When winter hit, the water froze and all the zombies... erm... ceased to exist?  Left all the goodies.

Although, the original plan was to flush the zombies out of the tower and down into a moat, like a giant commode, so I could keep them as pet zombie-turds.

Never butcher anything

I had a piece of yak hair come back to life and single handedly slaughter half my population, including my entire militia. It even got a name for the yak who was originally slaughtered, so I guess creatures can be named post-mortem.

The question is: how do you profaine a temple dedicated to pure greed?

This is everything that dwarf fortress is about...

When yak hair re-animates and slaughters your fortress...

I read that in rainbow dashes voice in a low surprised voice. So funny




Can you embark on towers? When I did it greyed out.

The necros are dead now. They realized that getting a two floor incomplete tower made of brimstone and bauxite for a complete and nicely furnished tower was a bad trade and attacked. I just drafted all the dorfs and they ripped the necros apart limb from limb. The chiefess got held down by the 6 wrestlers, and my hammerdorf hit her so hard that she exploded.

I did get a necro siege, but that was dispatched quickly.

I'm working on getting a pump stack for magma to make an obsidian generator.

I think it stands to note that necromancers, for all their unholy magic, are not very intelligent creatures...

I used the necro tower and dropped it on everything inside. Worked pretty well.
