I learned the hard way why you should get rid of Titan corpses, i had just finally managed to kill an fire breathing Titan that could fly when an necromancer and his army showed up. Now i wasn't to worried since my fort was built on a two wall basis, that is to say i had an outer wall (where the trade depot and outdoor related workshops were placed) and an inner wall where the entrence to the underground fort were. In other words, i just laughed and retreated with what remained of my army behind the inner walls since the outer wall was in ruins.

So the zombies swarm around the inner walls, uselessly clawing at it while my crossbow men get some target practicing in, while the necromancer goes around raising what few bodies he can for his army.... That's when i remember the Titan. So sure enough, he resurects the Titan who is now both undead and seriously pissed! I can't remember the exact words i said, but i am pretty sure they were along the lines of "Oh ****...."

1. Grab 2 bags of berries from a human house
2. Empty one of the bags
3. Fill the empty bag with water (holds 50 water)
4. Don't worry about water or food for a while

Yeah this is what i usually do, i always keep at least two bags filled with water on me at all times after i lost one of my first adventures due to dehydration. Of course, you could always also become an vampire and never have to worry about food or water again. But of course, then you will always have to worry about finding a living creature to feed on which is harder than it sounds.

I once tried to tackle a tower head on, you know with a lot of meatshields companions and a lot of guts... It didn't work..

So instead i led the undead on a merry chase through the nearby woods and lit things on fire left and right. It actually worked pretty well and the entire bottom floor of the tower was empty afterwards. The problem was that the necromancers had been pretty busy and filled up the entire tower with undeads so when i went up to the second floor i got swarmed and ended up being chocked to death by my own decapiteded arm.

So yeah, i would suggest you become a night creature before you try to tackle a tower.
