Wandering Necromancers?
« on: March 21, 2012, 06:30:58 pm »
In my Digital Imaging class, I had a bit of spare time. I accidentally left my flash drive at home, so I generated a new world on an unmodded game, started a fort (I suck at fortress mode cause this was pretty much my first fort lol) and shortly abandoned it, and then started an adventurer to find it. As the adventurer was poking around on the travel map, he was ambushed. I got the standard bandit "Tell them it was the funny killers of loving if you live!" greeting, and then noticed that the elven spearman that were oddly numerous were also dead. Doing a bit of maneuvering, the 'warlord', a necromantic lord's consort threatened me with death. I brained her and noticed a tablet among her remains. I was shocked, excited, and dumb founded, and then I remembered that not only was my flash drive at home, but that this character was illiterate. He got killed trying to get the tablet.

TL DR; have you ever run into a wandering necromancer? How common is it?

According to the Future of the Fortress thread, a Necromancer will only build a tower when they get to fifty followers. If it's less, then they'll just act as bandit chieftains.
