^ Someone should do that in the next Battlefailed. I think that would top the failever:

Failever II: Pull to release a horde of zombies consisting of every annoying migrant, noble, goblin, kobold, ect into the middle of the fortress. Do not pull.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

Imagine how amazing it would be to make that lever also control the main entrance to the fort... LOCK-DOWN! *sirens blaring and the main gate closing, dwarves getting crushed by drawbridges and doors, getting eaten by zombies, drowning and melting* It would be beautiful!

For extra dwarfiness, the level should be right next to the horrendously overworked miserable sweat shop district of whatever fort succeeds Hellcannon. What could possibly go wrong?  :)

Someone should go suggest that in one of the battlefailed threads.

In truth and honesty, I've never once entered the thread that is battlefailed.

Okay, now I'm getting a bit suspicious. Something bad's going to happen isn't it? I may be a noob, but I know what FUN means around here.
No, go ahead, I won't spoil the *SPOILERS* that await you and will probably *SPOILER BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GUESS* your fortress with ease.

Alright, try to keep us posted if ya wouldn't mind. I've never handled zombies personally as my embarks in any biomes with them tend to end rather quickly.
You get destroyed by zombies? Lucky. I could get zombie dragons and my dwarves would punch them to poofing.

What Great Wyrm means is, be prepared when you try to take the sword/scourge/axe/spoon or whatever's in the slade structure full of undead, as the Great Toady One himself will destroy your fortress! Stocking up on candy is a good idea, train a good military e.t.c.
Also, anything on it's own can be taken down by Dwarves with ease... These things are like the predators of the ancient world. Except not invisible.
And drunk.

You could even relocate your fortress into the structure. Nothings says dwarfy like an indestructible fortress!

Posting to watch... and personally, I just go for the adamantine weapon right away whenever I find it, it really helps with the first couple goblins sieges

And like somebody said, the zombies aren't any real threat.. not much reason not to take it

Okay, the fact that everyone's so interested in me taking the adamantine weapon pretty much confirms my suspicion something nastier than undead is waiting between me and the adamantine weapon.

There's nothing between you and the weapon except yourself. Take what is rightfully yours, make a shrine for it, allow the dwarves to pray for the mighty blood god Armok to bring purity to your world. That, or just shove it in a bin in the back of your weapon stockpile like I do.

WHAT? You shove it in your weapon stockpile??? Blasphemy!

At the OP, in my experience there haven't been negative side effects? though looking back over other people's responses I feel there could be... so I'd have atleast a 20 person military, just to be safe

Ok to clarify, we are interested in one purpose. The structure you have is RARE, once per 16x16 REGION tiles, that is the second embark screen. The weapon at the bottom? It is EPIC.

Think of the sword in the stone, the story of King Arthur and Camelot, I will not let in on more as you just hit the jackpot my friend. [P.S. Undead are horribly less effective in this current version. So tis' sadly easier to claim your weapon!]
