Me and a friend decided to embark on an evil area, as I hadn't yet seen the new evil weather. Here's how it started:

*opens unit list and sees nothing*
"Just dead grass and trees. This will be easy"
*unpauses and orders walls to be built around entrance*
Urist McMason cancels build wall: Interupted by raven corpse.x20
"This why we brought a military"
*Sends in axedorf and hammerdorf*
*Raven latches on to the axedorf's head and tears his head open*
*Hammerdorf kills raven*
Urist McAxedorf has been ecstatic lately. He admired a fine door recently. He has witnessed the death of a lover recently. He has been severely injured recently. He has been attacked by the dead recently. He took joy in slaughter recently.
*Axedorf survives just fine with his chest torn open and his skull torn open*
"Why is it zooming here? What is an "Eerie Soot Cloud"?"
*Cloud misses fort just barely, huskifying all the wandering animals*
*Hammerdorf and axedorf keep fending off swarms of raven corpses and guineacock husks*
*All dorfs but one die*
*Makes burrow in path of the last cloud*
*Cloud comes back and misses the dorf*
Urist cancels living: Interupted by raven huskx20

Husks.

[krenshala]

If you manage to get a fort going in a place like that I think you would almost have to add some Biohazard Level V decon gear to every entrance.  It won't stop the husk, but at least it would wash the dust off preventing new husks being created in the fort.  Won't do a damn thing for self-revivifying corpses, of course ...

Fun is the only way to describe the new Evil regions. With a magma chute the corpses are generally manageable, until the sieges start at least. The clean up becomes a bit more difficult when there are about 80 corpses and body parts lying around.

[Callista]

At that point I'd probably just get cheap and cage-trap/atom-smash them. Or build a huge battle chamber covered with a bridge to atom-smash all corpses after a siege.

Not dwarfy enough.
The only way is to sanitize the land with magma.

Not dwarfy enough.
The only way is to cleanse the impure of the land with the mountains life blood.

Why atom smash them?  Lure them into the pit, then close the bridge to hold them.  If a living, breathing, siege shows up you'll have to raise the bridge to stop them -- but then all the undead path to your enemy instead of you.

Zombies aren't particularly picky about who they are attacking. It sounds perfectly feasable to have a fortress defense system based on dropping attackers into a pit of zombies, though in the end the result will just be, more zombies.

You mean more defenders, don't you?

[Crossroads Inc.]

I currently have a 2year old fort right in the middle of an Evil Soot and Zombie filed wilderness.
It is also right next to a Mythful wilderness, So every so often I have Unicorns fighting Zombies.

[FearfulJesuit]

Will atom-smashing corpses in these regions get rid of any and all ill effects they bring?

Dig a pit underneath that pit that feeds straight into hell itself. Wait until you have a zombie army several hundred strong, then drop them in to see what happens.

Why do I feel like that could work, or... what happens if you just end up with zombie hell demons? That could potentially make things worse... er... I mean... more fun.
