Buy good mercenaries. And maybe look out for one who knows his history about the war.

Dwarf. We use the Roman approach of sending the new soldiers in first, using flaming and earthen barriers to interrupt battles, then giving the survivors enchanted gear to keep the valuable forces alive...
Somehow I doubt the Romans used flaming barriers or enchanted gear.
But we're human? Aw.

Contact the elves and ask for aid. Explain that these guys will kill them, rape their women, burn all the trees, and not eat their corpses if they win.

Also contact the dwarves, because what is there to lose?

Also contact any human nations around.

Also contact any wandering animalpeople.

Also see if we can enlist some trolls, ogres, or something.

Basically, contact everyone and see who's willing to help.


Also, how long do spells like Levitate last?

-1. You're making some possibly painful assumptions that this is the DF world.

Ok maybe he's making assumptions but you sorta have to.

The general gist of his thing is: get allies.

Also since we're a necromancer, we need corpses. Lots and lots of corpses.

Research poisons. Poison multiple meaningless towns. Blame the enemy for murdering them; take the bodies and resurrect them. ((Is anyone aware of our necromantic ways?))

I wish I could unwatch a thread because every time I look at this I can feel myself dying faster
Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

Oh lord please no. I can't imagine there is ANY CHANCE THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET CAUGHT. Also, considering humans in general are stated to be proficient in necromancy, I would assume so.

Yes people are aware of our necromantic skills, after all we openly studied them in the College and in Delener.

Ps levitate lasts enough time for you to actually get bored of floating all over the place; unluckily you only levitate at about two feet from the ground.

Just because we're a bit of a cheater doesn't mean we need to become a massmurdering psychopath.

Come now, there are enough dead things without us making more at the moment. Let's not skip steps. After all, first we send them in alive as cannon fodder, THEN we raise them. See, two for the price of one.

There will be plenty of that later, after you eat your broccoli diplomatic alliances.

As far as the actual using of the corpses we end up with, I have a few things we can try out. Flesh Golems and Bone Hydras, asnyone?
