"Now you will know why you Fear the..."
« on: September 08, 2013, 04:45:32 pm »

I setup a Legendary Character. I made a save before he took damage to his spine as a necromancer, and put the secrets of life and death in a fortress. I then was killed in a tomb. So, I saved before I made a new character. By saves, I mean copied all of the world files so they wouldn't change. I then made a new characters, had him read the secrets, and released evil on the world
Here is my current situation.

I have slaughtered at least 3/4ths of the village. Anyone want to start a Necro-Clan?

I went into a house to "greet" a few "friends". They were surrounded and butchered.

I left three houses untouched so the villagers could remember me.

From there, I traveled. It became night, and me and my crew army were "ambushed".

The (g)oblins are lined up all against my army. We will be unstoppable.

As I predicted, we pretty much are. There are a lot of goblins, but we are slaying them left and right. The goblins are screwed, but I might be prone to a lucky headshot. I was left unguarded!

This is my second, and most fun time :)

Back to the story, and the war, we won. It wasn't like we weren't going to.

So after we won, I animated all of the dead Malign members, and continued forward. A couple of hours past, and guess who showed up?

That's right. The Malign Terror. They have also almost completely surrounded me with 40 or so soldiers. Too bad I have over 200. They seem to be a little more tryhard now. Why are they bothering me? I know. They want to be completely exterminated. Okay. Their idea and dream, my reality.

I may have...overlooked the situation. I stepped forward once, and at the same time, their archers fired. about twenty of my "men"(and women) collapsed. I may have been a little too cocky, and am now realizing I am probably not the most powerful clan.

As I said. I overlooked the battle. We took heavy losses, and so did The Malign Terror. As I was able to animate all of the dead, and give our clan great power, I was left unprotected when all of my zombie-minions left into battle. A lucky archer saw the chance, and took it.

And thus, ladies and gentlemen, is the end of Rakbin Gulgudkamloc. She was an expert at Necromancy and a High Master Spearman.

I have begun a new adventurer. His name is Obi. I am going to turn him into a Necromancer, and then go to the tower to my far right(the one I originally stole the book from) and reanimate all of the corpses outside. It will be necromancer vs. necromancer(s). Here is a world map. I'm not sure if I killed all of the Necromancers or not.

The fort the book is in is above my character's icon. The tower to the far right is the one I'm going to.

I've never been a legit necromancer, because my worlds never gen necromancers for some reason. It looks like it's very enjoyable for the necromancer, fun for everything else.

I found this for anyone that wasn't to jump right into being a Necro-Vampire. I'm not sure if it works, but I found it.

Here is the link I used. Your going to have to create your own character, and then go to the tower. It took me several tries to steal the book.

The towns I used are the human civilizations with double names on the first page. One begins with an O, and another with a H, I believe.

Good thread, but just as a reference for the future, try not to quintuple post. Use the edit button if you must add on before anyone else replies.

Also, I had to edit this post because I accidently hit shift+enter to move to the next line because i'm used to facebook  ::)

playing around with this save and i got like 24 or so raised dead dudes of various races and body parts and they seem to squash most ambushers by their numbers and because of all the targets distract ranged weapon users away from him allowing me to kill them with ease.
