Do corpses still rot as undead? Can i still kill them for scalps?
And does the Necro Circle need LOS?

[Meph]

Hehe, i have seen these questions before.

no and yes. no rotting, yes it needs los. butchering dead undeads should still give souls/scalps, as long as the corpse has a head.

I just wanted to move them to the correct thread. I dont wana clutter the other one.

[Meph]

I know. And good on you for actually doing this.

Seconded.

[bennerman]

bennerman, they will come with mephits, however they mephits won't cast any spells (so are a bit useless). I posted a fix (well work around) a couple of pages back but it does need a world regen.

Honestly, they are more useful to me as souls, since they breed

So I got two vampire warlocks in my fortress and want to cure them from vampirism. I built the vampire crypt, made some ruby dust, got enough blood (in barrel and pot) but I can't choose to cure or inflict vampirism. I got no burrows set and everything needed is in reach. What is going wrong?

Edit: I tried to order the reaction with the manager. One vampire starts it and cancels with the message: Needs A-containing bag

[blapnk]

Is your ruby dust stored in barrels? I don't think the reaction can find it in barrels.

[Jiamil]

Ok, found the problem: In the reaction_warlock.txt there was "INORGANIC:RUBY" instead of "INORGANIC:POWDER_RUBY". After replacing it, it works fine.

Edit: Ok, it works NOT fine. The vampire is now shown as normal witch, but still sucks blood -.-

Hrm, just got a migrant wave with a child skeleton and child ghoul... wonder if they can grow up.

I asked a similar question, and the answer I got said ghouls can. Dunno about skeletons though, just got a skeleton child myself.

I also had a fort where one of the necromancers was married to one of the skeletons, and in my current one all the cats adopted the same skeletal miner.

Any way to make some sort of cryogenic item or something to preserve corpses longer? I was just thinking it would be nice to keep some corpses around longer, at least unrotten, without turning them undead.

[fedobear]

Currently I use graves. Got a necromancer I dont have the souls/motivation to bring back, so I put him in a tomb and plan on removing the building, it seems to give you the corpse back but I'm not sure if its still raisable. you should test it

I think this is one of those things where item corpses might be useful. On death a warlock leaves behind a warlock corpse item that can with/rot, take that to a specific building to preserve, and then it can be stored for later. Might not get the same guy but it'd be something at least.

[Meph]

Mh... maybe possible, but even itemcorpses will be buried and it will be a problem for orcs that want scalps or for dwarves that have non-rotting invaders lying around.
