A timer would be great.  I was going to reply to other thread, but it disappeared as I was trying to reply.  Anyway, there's a huge difference between a big challenge for experienced players and the player being totally screwed from the first second of the embark practically.

Thread Necro!

Tonight during the Great Necromancer Invasion, I had this one:

Urist McFarmer cancels Pen/Pasture Large Creature: Handling Dangerous Animal (or words to that effect)

Oh, man.  Thankfully I had some military squads equipped and training.  I just started working on some traps.  Then the Necromancer came, with 39 of his undead buddies.

Long story short:  10 dorfs dead, 20 undead killed, the necromancer ran off the map.  The elves who were there to trade escaped unscathed (damn it).  One dorf has gone mad; everyone else is holding up.

Concurrently with the battle, My stonecrafter got a mood and turned out a cruddy mudstone amulet.  He got Legendary Engraver out of it, so maybe he'll make some cool battle report engravings.

Also, my Daignostician (whom I ordered into battle when I decided to Zerg Rush the enemy) got the most kills: four.  Including a titled zombie.  He scares me.

Anyone else have a Necromancer siege yet?

Gods, I hope not.

Zom-bees!

Beware its deadly absorption!

When you said Sea Bees, I thought of the Naval Construction Battalion   My ex-husband was one.

I'm beginning to wonder if we will have to built libraries for our "esteemed" nobles to peruse their wonderful books.  This would set up a whole new industry in itself.. [P]rint Books. 

(This could also enable nobles to have a higher chance of being/becoming necromancers)

Well, if the random book generator created one called Twilight, it's going into the magma

I have the following titles:

My friend the Desert Tortoise Brute
The Uses of Lies
Waking up With Humans
The Pregnancies of (insert dwarfette name here)

Most of them seem to be self-indulgent and occasionally vicious.  What are your best books?
