Undead had came and slaughtered my fort before I even discovered metal. Such a shame.

I will now reclaim my fort with seven military dwarved. I already set up basic necessities, I just need to gain foothold until working immigrants come.

Don'tcha know turtling is a good defense against anything?  Except your dwarves.  And undead dwarves.  And tantrumming dwarves.  And lazy, starving dwarves.  And buggy dwarves...  Dwarves.

malimbar04, are you plagued by necromancers, or is the land around you suffering the curse of undeath?  I hope, if it's the latter, that you did that in a non-reanimating portion of your map...  *undead werecavies eat everyone*

Tosedfikod, the newest dwarven outpost, was doing well.  They had walled off a small section of the hills for pastures, farms, and beehives.  Their bedrooms were meager, but rather large, and had doors.  Work was progressing on the extra-high ceilings for the main commons and dining hall, and the expedition leader was planning some additions to every bedroom, giving each dwarf their own personal dining room and statue garden, as well as an office for those dwarves so inclined.

Then the zombies came.

Thankfully, the warning came early enough, and the fisherdwarves sprinted inside as the lever was pulled.  Unfortunately, they couldn't tell if the drawbridge would make a perfect seal, preventing the zombies from coming inside.  While the zombies were distracted by some gray langurs and somebody's pet goose, the dwarves hurriedly blocked off the bridge with sturdy stone blocks.  Thankfully, the bridge was out a few feet from the main rectangular structure, and they could seal themselves off by simply completing the rectangle.

Now, as the small horde lurches outside, the dwarves of Tosedfikod scurry around, farming and brewing and cooking, for sure, but also crafting and forging and smelting, for happiness.  And the militia is raised.

Two dwarves have military skills.  One hunter, from the original party of seven, and one macedwarf, who was "drafted" into weaving when he arrived.  Now they are activated into the militia, and hone their skills.  Fortunately, maces and crossbows are excellent weapons against the undead.  And the mason?  He plans...

Punch the skeleton to death.  Then his beard would crawl off and find a pregnant dwarf lady.  That's why most babies are born with facial hair, despite being bald on top.

Edit: Whoops, forgot the question.  What would Urist do if he, in the next version, had to write a book?  What would it be about?  Etc.

Only a proper pulping should prevent reanimation.  Brain tearing, no; "head explodes into gore," yes.

That raises the question (for me at least): Were people homophobic in the medieval ages?

This looks similar to the cancellation that occurs when a farmer goes from shearing/milking an animal to another farmer's job.  Also, spam?  Because this doesn't look serious.
