 6 gods, middle aged at 50, wife, child, and likes sheep for their tendency to flock, chalk, iron, bolts, and whatever molemarians are for their freakish appearance. and I like peach cider and onions? And I have an iffy memory?? Hot drat! And I appear to be a recruit. So I'll possibly become a fighting legend around here, or (more likely) die a horrible death leaving a widow and child! I'm actually excited for this one!

Can you dwarf me please? Anything peasanty or anyone who would die quickly. Man, I am rusty at this game I haven't played since 43. I take it that the undead menace has been nerfed a bit since then?

Radio Free Kobold posted:One guy got horribly hosed up by an arm, of all things, so doesn't look like it. I once lost a fortress to a bit of animate hair. My militia had been decimated by repeated undead attacks and the hair got between the residential level and the food stockpiles. No one could kill it and it terrified everyone who poked their heads out of their rooms. I eventually made everyone into wrestlers and finally was able to kill it long enough to dump it, but by that time the tantrum spiral was inevitable. Good times.

Journal of M_Gargantua, a mournful priest 7th of Opal - We are again accosted by foul undead birds, a wood hauling party is out in the open and holding their ground. The Helmed spears sally forth to drive away the ravens.  The group consists of GoldenPrice, Drakenel, Werewhale, DeceitfulPenguin, u brexit ukip it with IPA regulations in her arms, Camoes, Boksi, and Facebook Aunt with baby GeneX. They huddle together and form a defensive circle to escort the civilians back. Eventually the birds descend and the spears dispatch them with far more ease than I could have hoped. One regains motion and attempts to attack again before being re-killed. 13th of Opal - A winter storm has come and the grey slushy snow has made for a nice change of scenery from the horrid grass. However the ghasty trees still fill the valley into the distance despite our attempts to fell them. The small surface water pools have iced up, but our underground water supplies are warmed by the mountain. We lack neither drink nor water.  From the snow drifts one of the migrants pets springs forth, but rather than in greeting it is as a starved and necrid beast.  It takes a spike from our gate defenses before being repeated skewered by dwarven spears until dead once again.  On the 20th of Opal Captainicus is born to Grizzwold and Zack Ater, making her niece of mercenarynuker  16th Obsidian - Our pet problem has come back to haunt us with a vengeance.  A corpse leaking putrid miasma leaps back into life as it is being dragged out the front gate.  The readily available millitia skewer it quickly, but not quickly enough. Cyflan’s head is caved in by the beasts attack.  Ashnjack is another unfortunately unarmored bystander, and turol is just briefly caught in the exchange.    He dies bleeding before medics arrive, the bloodloss from his shattered leg too much.  21st of Obsidian Ash Rose is born, Daughter of Drakenel and Vinny Possum  I take this small respite to focus on all the good we have done here. Our Marksdwarves now have some fortifications to defend from should their skills be needed.  The library is bustling with activity and visitors and newly adorned with statues to our accomplishments.  More space for workshops of all sorts have been built, stacked downward as we continue to explore deeper.  Our farms are being seeded and food processing areas are being prepared next to them.  We have a small set of dungeon cells should we ever have a hammerer and a need to lock up malcontents. The occasional sound of the deep caverns can be heard through the bricked wall.  And I am able to pray to Geshud for our deceased and minister to our congregation from the feverous temple we have dug out of the stones.  I think our prayers may be working, Yeol stops his lumber run and claims a masons shop for something he refuses to tell any of us about.  25th of Obsidian - The end of the year approaches fast, Yeol completes his secretive supply buildup and embarks on an artistic adventure. The crowd gathered to witness the start of his creation however is interupted by horrible news. Fuubi has collapsed standing next to a barrel of ale just down the hall.    Pharnakes says that it may be Fuubi’s jaw damage was preventing him from drinking properly, but that he was too proud to ask for help. Such a shame to lose a brilliant burgeoning fighter. A mournful day.  26th of Obsidian - My earlier words of enthusiasm may have been falsely written. Tragedy has stuck a third time. A Yak bull being dragged after collapsing in the fortress is animated by horrid forces as it crosses our threshold.  Camoes stumbles a few feet before collapsing and dying, her spine severed and esophogus crushed.  Dallbun goes out with a bull hoof through his chest, it is a messy affair. At least its a quick death compared to some.  Hitlers Gay Secret takes a kick while behind it.  Mercenarynuker makes it out with a smashed left foot and ankle  Epsilon Moonshade’s left arm is mangled, the loss of his forging skills could be catastrophic.  After it was all over I almost felt relieved that only two had perished.  Once evaluated in the hospital Hitlers Gay Secret may be worst off, he has a problem with his upper back that may leave him bedridden for months, if the damage doesn’t affect the nerves of his spine permanently  .  New Years Day -  Seven have perished this year, and we're still trying to prepare their proper interment. I'm sadly glad that I ordered more coffins and slabs pre-constructed and some placed already.   I’m am not to saddened by this, life in this unique place is difficult, but the struggle is what defines us.  The deaths of seven is special number, and I shall use this tragedy to retire to my sanctuary, and ponder. Leaving someone else to take the reins, as light as my touch was.  ... .. . glory be

Will every corpse/body part from something killed reanimate in this biome? Or is there a randomness to it? Or otherwise something that affects whether something will rise?

IIRC, everything that can grasp can(and will) reanimate, whether it's a full corpse or a body part. This includes things like skin and hair.

It's only part of the map that falls in the cursed zone, right? We should lay down a map-wide line of tiles as a divider to note Where Not To Die.

Murder comes for us all, eventually. Sometimes in the form of a bull, other times a cow, or another bull, or yet another bull. Just, almost always a bovine, basically.

We need a better way of dealing with those corpses. Maybe build a dedicated dumping platform accessible from within the fort instead of requiring our dwarves to go outside before climbing the mountain. And install a minecart path to speed up corpse delivery, I bet the weight of those bulls played a part in the problems they caused. In fact, depending on our resource situation, we could automate the disposal by simply designing the system so that the minecart goes flying straight into the volcano. Oh, and take that (maybe) bit out of my entry in the overseer list, I am definitely taking part in this. EDIT: Also, build lots of magma-safe floodgates, hatch covers and mechanisms. Lots of uses for those. Boksi fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Mar 17, 2018 |

Would we be able to chop up animals that fall outside the "rises up and kills everyone" boundary so only the less lethal parts get taken over the threshold?

It would be cool if I could get a fresh look at my dwarf's bio to see how they're holding up; I have to figure that by now the Original Seven are all either depressed as hell or just dead inside or else they don't care about all the madness and death because dude look at this cool statue.

Now, it's 1 o'clock and baby needs his bottle of stout. So what happens if a necromancer shows up on top of all the undead shenanigans we have so far?

On one hand I'm dead, which is sad. On the other hand it was quick and painless along with the fact that I'll probably get interned before corpses are thrown everywhere from this death spiral.

Can't wait to see what Yeol makes! I've honestly been pretty lucky with my dwarves making artifacts in succession games considering this isn't the first time. Although I don't think my dwarf has any real skills in anything important, so this is probably going to be something useless like a bone earring engraved with elves getting their heads punched off by trolls. Which, admittedly, is good enough for me.

EDIT I mean, if that sounds too boring, you can make it some kind of lever based disposal system. With lava.

That doesn't sound like a question asked with the proper attitude. If you look at the fortress maps posted, you can see where the grass stops being dead and becomes alive again. That is the border of the reanimation zone.
