Anyone know how to flush out necromancers?
« on: May 26, 2012, 04:18:05 pm »

I just mopped up a very long lasting zombie siege, and now I got a bunch of dead corpses of trained soldiers everywhere. I downed three necromancers, but the tower nearby I checked had 10-12, I keep seeing zombies every now and again so I know theres another. I dont have grass to burn, everyones tantruming. Anyone have tips?

Bait it with some corpses.

Goose skin helps.

Your bait refuse pile (with corpses) and traps should be placed such that the necro can path to the pile, but will encounter traps before he has line-of-sight to the pile.

Not necessary really, if you know whereabouts the necro is you can surround it with your military and close in. I've never caught a necro that couldn't get line of sight to the bait.

Oh why the ravens...

I feel you, a human caravan downed a dozen ravens on there way out. I see why you hate ravens now.


But on the bright side, only three children are eating my fortress now!
