So somehow we managed to survive the zombies with minor casualties.  However now everyone's locked inside with zombies on the outside and an undead dorf in the courtyard.  Hao I fix? How dangerous are the wengermen things or whatever they're called?  can I zerg rush them to death?

proper update to come tomorrow

Let them in through doors one by one instead. And overnumber each with militia guys. That should be quick and safe enough.

Dig a deeeeep pit with a retractable bridge over it rigged to a pressure plate just inside the fortress entrance.  Zombies enter, trigger the plate, and walk over the bridge during the delay so they fall into said pit.  Instant zombie bits, or captive zombie army.

In a fortress like this, you should never capture zombies in large amounts. Someone will let them out for sure.

also, the only thing keeping this fort from tantrum sprialing right now is the fact that nobody has any friends.

This quote needs to be added to the OP, along with the note that the dwarf who doesn't care about anything went insane.

Elf...I am slowly being corrupted by the Bay12 culture. When I first came here, I never would have said that. Then again, I probably wouldn't have joined this fort then, either.

Sorry, my bad. Was too deep into my mod of making elves playable.

if there's only 1 or 2, then yeah, zerg rush should work, just make sure that EVERYONE is wearing at least a bone helmet... the undead have an uncanny ability to cave in skulls.

oh and you might want to ensure that they all arrive in the courtyard at the same time, to minimize casualties.

The wermen weren't really a problem.  In the end it was a guy they killed during the invasion that has come back as a zombie.

It's reasonable since they are looking for brains

I don't know how it happened but the zombies I had previously had locked in a room somehow got out and now all hell is breaking loose.  Thoughts?

Try being observant? *shrugs*

[sarcasm mode] And here i thought it would be a great idea to lock a bunch of murderous death machines in a room and not pay attention to them. Who would of guessed that they would escape somehow?   [sarcasm mode end]

The door was locked.  I didn't know they could unlock doors... But yeah, we have roughly 5 dwarven zombies on our hands and 4 or 5ish other ones.  What's the best way to get rid of them?  "Lock the doors" isn't an option at this point seeing how they can unlock doors.  They couldn't for a very long time and suddenly they acquired that ability...

So basically we have a bunch of murderous death machines that can unlock doors and have a tendency to head shot dwarves. Dwarf fortress at it's penultimate level of !!FUN!!
