- Just set the necroshrine up make body stockpile near it, when your lock die, use random skeleton with prayer labor to resurrect him. And make sure you do that before he begin to rot

- You can turn rendermax on at GUI, it will make nighttime and cave dark without light source. But not effect any game mechanic yet.

- In vanilla it is purple "I"

Is there any way to appoint a constructed skeleton to a noble? I did the masterwork thing and successfully created a squad of skeletons, but for some reason I still am only able to promote the migrant skeletons to Crypt Lord.

[Meph]

Unfortunately not yet. Needs more dfhack magic, which doesnt exist yet.

Thank you! Found a Warlock Tower now.

That covers resurrection then, but what about getting a compeltely _new_ lock? Do they migrate or is there a way to train one?

If you get your two migrant waves and still don't have enough warlocks, you can just abandon and reclaim.

The Warlocks are fairly easy to play, having undead, horribly evil spells and tough minions at their command, as well as the ability to simply make new minions (The skellies and Ghouls) to balance this, and because it is thematically awesome, there are are no more migrants, no civilisation to call new members from.

There is just your small number of warlocks, your skeleton marrying, undead creating, spell obsessed neurotic warlocks.

Plus maybe a vampire or two to eat them. I mean, drink blood out of barrels.

Yep. Never drink from your endangered, valuable and rare warlocks.

So no, there is no "get more warlocks" function after the two migrant waves, and the point is to safeguard them at all costs, as the minions are all expendable. Warlocks (and those filthy leeches I suppose) are not.

Ah! I wasnt aware that there are two migrant waves. Im totally fine with a low Warlock-count, but it seemed odd to only have _one_ when you get unlucky on embarking.

EDIT:

Also, is there a recommended Tileset? I usually try Phoebus or Ironhand, but im unsure if the Warlocks and their minions have Graphics in those.

[Meph]

default tileset is recommended. The creatures look the same across all tilesets, but the buildings look a lot better with the default MDF sets.

Just a quick question: What is the most "Evil" evil biome?
Oh and where can i grow my evil plants? I tried on a haunted one but it dint work.

[mahrgell]

terrifying>haunted>sinister

[Rumrusher]

oh yeah I remember I drew some Warlock fanart. back when I got the news of my battle warlock and ghoul lord got married.

[IndigoFenix]

terrifying>haunted>sinister

Technically a biome is either evil, neutral, or good.  Further modifications are based on savagery.

Sinister: Evil/Calm
Haunted: Evil/Wilderness
Terrifying: Evil/Untamed Wilds

But practically, terrifying biomes are the most dangerous.

Anyone else been having trouble with Meat in Barrels? For example trying to extract Blood or summon a Ghoul using the Graveyard. The Meat isnt useable until i remove it from a Barrel, i had to make a specific Meat stockpile and set Barrels to 0.

I also had some problems assigning my Crypt Lord. At Embark i had a Dreadnought Skeleton, which as i understand it is pretty damn awesome. When i Embarked i quickly set him as my Crypt Lord and gave him a nice Tomb, but eventually i noticed his status had been stripped. I tried to reassign him, but he would not show up in the Noble selection screen.

Havent played a massive amount, but so far its been interesting. Although i cannot say i agree with building a Dungeon. Id think id rather build an awesome black castle with the unlimited supply of blocks from the Ethereal Gate. Also Ghouls are amazing. I had 3 annoying Leprechauns harassing my people, so i assigned a single Ghoul to kill them. He proceeded to run them down and literally bite their heads off. I was surprised at his speed. Leprechauns are not exactly slow moving creatures.

Is there any way to get the special arrow types? Id like to make some stronger arrows for hunting. Normal Wooden just dont cut it and i need dem soulz.

So m i suppose to be able to find 4 Bloods Of Armok fairly close together at lvl 10?

Edit: Is limestone or granite magmaproof?
Edit 2: Magma well dosent work. It eats the gem (for the trap one) but nothing happens. The normal ,free, reactions dont work either.
