I have a few fun things I'd like to try with a new fort that is situated right next door to a Necromancer Tower, but I want to check first.

1; Do zombies and vampires attack Clowns?

2; Do they maintain their fighting ability while on fire?

3; What's the type of bodies that a captured necromancer can revive?  A zombie's corpse? fort dwarf corpses? 

[Twangykid]

1. Yes
2. Yes.
3. Yes to both.

Wonderful.  I just wanted to make sure before I start my new fortress project.

Somehow, I just know you'll be able to come up with something more horrifying than Swordthunders.

BRING IT ON!

Seeing as I've now confirmed what I hoped, I plan to cage a necromancer.  He'll then be placed in a specially-prepared chamber connected to what will be a breach into the HFS.  Within his 'lair', corpses and pieces will be dumped down a long chute so that he can revive them.  Once he has a suitably large army, a suicide dwarf will breach the HFS, and the undead will meet the clowns...

It's been done.

But with thralls.

The thralls won.

That's not the same; they're psychotic beserkers.  I'm gonna defeat Hell with shambling corpses!

Fire clowns can be defeated by fighting them in a trickle of water. While zombies don't really mind being on fire, they do sometimes burn to ash almost immediately and the corpses of the fallen will just be kindling. A damp or even aquatic battlefield may give team zombie the edge.

That would make it a sane and carefully-prepared idea.  I intend to just throw hordes of shambling corpses at the clowns and watch the carnage

[HorridOwn4ge]

Just make sure you throw the pieces to the necromance via an airlock otherwise your dwarves might be killed by a Yak Hair Zombie

Just look at my Signature...I was tottaly unprepared at the time hehe

Necromancer towers are great Fun.
I was forced to lock myself inside my fortress for a couple years with 100+ Undead outside,
wich turned to 134 due to migrante waves feeding them more corpses.

Ironicaly, a goblin Ambush saved me, they swept the map of the undead.*sigh*

Question:

Can demons be raised from the dead by a necromancer?

[Girlinhat]

I believe they have [CANNOT_UNDEAD] as part of their randomly-generated-ness.
