Taking a Stroll with my Undead Pals
« on: August 11, 2014, 09:50:56 am »

So i'm playing 40.07 and before I received any caravans I received a siege from Undead Goblins and Elves.  Now I panicked a bit but they are still buggy and sitting at the edge of the map though this time they are moving towards me albeit very slowly.  Now I formed a quick thrown together military and begin prepping for full lockdown inside the fortress, then about 2 seasons pass and when Winter comes all of a sudden the Undead are gone.

Not an undead in sight.  Do they just occasionally come take a stroll through your neighborhood and then walk away?  I thought it was very odd but ill thank my lucky stars and hope that my next visitor wants to trade with me instead of eating my dwarfy flesh.

Also I noticed before my embark that PITS was one of my civvies neighbors along with goblins.  Aren't Pits just the home of the Goblins?  Does that mean I get double goblins now? If so yayy more Fun!

If the neighbors screen says pits (or hamlet, or fortress, or forest retreat, or tower) it means necromancer at that place. That where the zombies came from.

And Yes, to answer your other question.  Seiges will lift on their own eventually, can take quite some time but stuff should get bored eventually when faced with no path (or more accurately no path it likes)

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

Ah okay so since I had a Tower and Pits in my civvies screen that means I have 2 places full of zombies?

I know and they brought the full party of Elves and Goblins, it was unfortunate the humans couldn't come visit us as well.  I do hope they return I have a hammer I borrowed and would like to give back to them . :)

I figured I'd have some elven visitors, but hooray! Two necromancers, working out of forest retreats.

I am pleased to learn of this.
