| Summary | 0008690: Undead siege wears armor and wields weapons | ||||
| Description | An undead army from a necromancer tower besieged my fortress and each zombie was wearing armor and wielding weapons. The zombies fired arrows, used shields, and pretty much acted like a normal invading army, aside from the smell. | ||||
| Additional Information | Generated a world that managed to produce a necromancer tower before all civilizations were wiped out by megabeasts. Started the game as a human outsider, and the game placed me in a "camp" of zombies. When I checked legends mode after my brief career came to a violent end, I saw both that the zombies were "animated by unknown forces" and that a necromancer died (slain by a zombie) the year I started playing. Intrigued, I founded a fortress near the necromancer tower and received the siege mentioned in the bug description. | ||||

Re-genned the world in which the siege occurred, hoping to reproduce. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10376 |

I believe that this is intended behavior. |

This is the first time I've seen zombies from a necromancer tower fire crossbows and such. It seems like the game is generating the zombies out of thin air to be part of the tower's invading population, rather than drawing them from existing zombies. When I examine them in Legends mode, they say that they are animated by unknown forces (rather than by a specific necromancer associated with their tower). This may be related to the bug in which necromancers are attacked by zombies. I wonder if the reason I've never seen zombies use weapons before may be that typical zombies I encounter are historical figures who died (losing hold of their weapons) before being raised by a necromancer, whereas these zombies must come into the world already armed and zombified. |
