Man of NECROMANCY!!!!
« on: May 31, 2010, 10:54:47 am »

You are a Necromancer, with aspirations to control the entire world. You have a small tower of which you found and have taken residence in. Under your control are one hundred living humans, and two hundred zombified minions.

But you realize that soon, you will be attacked by other kingdoms, because necromancy is EVIL FORBIDDEN MAGICKS.

What are your serious commands?

Tell the undead to start chopping trees for lumber.

Tell the humans to dig a canyon around your tower, until they reach a source of magma.

The undead begin the task of chopping trees. Unfortunately, many most use their hands as you do not have but a few axes! They manage to cut down 32 trees.

That could take years!

You do not know where to find more corpses.

Have some of the undead focus on cutting down trees, and have the other undead use the wood to build a wall around your tower. Have the humans train with whatever weapons you have.

This, but some of the undead should dig a trench around the wall, to be turned into a moat at a later time.

Yes, a moat will be grand.

You assign fifty undead to cut trees, while one hundred begin construction of a wall, and the rest begin construction of a moat.

Thirty humans begin training with scrounged weapons. Twenty train with swords, while ten are able to find spears. Limited armor is found or made for all thirty.

are zombies stronger or weaker than the living?

if stronger: kill the military to make them stronger!
if not: take a look at your stocks.

Hmm. Maybe we can take some of the wood intended for the wall, and have it made into bows and arrows to arm the remaining 70 with?

I disagree. Zombies are terrible at making weapons, and generally pretty bad at ranged combat.

We'll have plenty of bodies once we come under attack.

We also need some humans to scout the area around our keep, looking for, let's call it, 'resources'. Horses, graveyards, abandoned mines, elves, carps, dragons, one rings et cetera.

We need to set up zombie ambushes.

If a zombie army attacks in the open, then they will be seen, anticipated, and struck down without doing any damage.

A zombie, however, can survive buried underground or submerged for a long time.

Bury some zombies lightly, so they can come out and perform surprise attacks.
