What would happen if you dump those things in a volcano?
Will they swim on the surface or sink down?

If this was the real world, the would be floating up, because magma is fluid stone and thus has a higher density than a corpse. However, seeing as this is DF, they will most likely start to fly like an emptied and incinerated teabag. Or drown. Or something else pretty damn stupid for a zombie to do.

Zombies don't drown. If they can swim, expect them to swim.

Guard zombies swimming in magma. Dr. Evil would be proud.

Embarked to make a story fort couple versions ago. First seige, 2 zombies. Second seige, 140.

Hah! I love how variable it can be. My first undead seige had just over 80 zombies, and me with a whole 70 dwarves. But they were easily dispatched by my skeleton crew of a militia.

Pun intended or no?

My first undead siege was one ferric elf corpse, plus a couple of local skeletons. Killed about one in three of my dwarves before inexplicably dropping, and then I discovered a pair of squads of ambushing kobolds that outnumbered my fortress at least 2 to 1, and also had weapons. I didn't, nor did I have traps or even stone.

I also gotta give all my dwarves unhappy thoughts so the ghosts won't affect them.

My first undead seige was after several years of zombie raiding partys, so I could deal.
Then I founded a new fort. The first seige was within the first year and just after a uber-werewolf killed all my military.
Much fun was had.
