went and tested if a dead adventurer could come back playable in adventure mode as a ghost and it seems like a no. or well not really if the place got attacked and ending it counts as an abandon.

on the topic of necrolove I figure once you hit immortality you just start dating folks of the immortal camp like elves and goblins, and other supernatural.

Since intelligent ghosts were left out of this release, I'd say that's probably exactly as expected. Question is can you unretire after your body has been raised as an intelligent undead?

Well, this necromancer queen just ruled her kingdom with an iron fist for 500 years. She never left to build a tower raise zombies or experiment on the local wildlife.  Most vampire-like necromancer I've ever seen.

ok so on the subject of that no it seems it even worst, the ghosts do exist but they don't exist in Adventure mode like they don't show up even though they do in fort mode and the worst bit is I think because oops the adventurer is only a ghost in fort mode means they raised/resurrected as an undead thus the corpse can't be resurrected.
so if someone wants to resurrect their long dead adventurer that ghost'd in a fort they need to bury the corpse first before bringing it back.
_{also do find the term intelligent ghosts weird given Ghosts are just the unit that died coming back with a ghostly flag toggled on.}

Some minor issues that may or may not be intended that I have noticed.
(All in fort mode)
1. Lots of the new undead showing up in my fort. Everyone of them acts friendly but is trying to steal artifacts. These guys have really bad disguises to the point that its probably a bug. Stuff like “grim slayer” etc. These guys are a light blue n the with umlat. Once they serve their prison sentence the get put in a cage and deposited in the animal stockpile, which may or may not be intended. I also had a bright red capital H come once. It routed through doors but went into a side room to specifically destroy a farmers workshop. I thought it was strange it didn’t break the doors. (Killed it before it could do anything else.)

2. Loyalty cascades still occur. Had one when a criminal beating turned deadly.

3. Lastly the elves keep trading me grown metal pedestals and other items.

Those cyan folks are resurrected beings which means historically they died and got revived and pretty much got free will. the kicker is they pretty much friendly outside of trying to steal stuff like the other folks that probably come to the site. the H folks are hybrid experiments of the necromancers... or young horses.

well trying to find means to kill bogeymen with out destroying their body for resurrection and or causing them to flip and be hostile kinda lead to creating a sport with 'propel away'

I guess one could play this with ambushers
oh yeah I guess the game is slowly turning into Fantasy crime squad... considering one could enlist folks to a fort to go on missions.

I just notice the polymorph bogeymen do legit turns them into a different animal, and in that timespan if you say walk away from them after talking to them and unload the map that bogeyman gets to live outside of the cackling.
this probably means if a bogeyman on a fort site happen to freak out and polymorph into one of the many Tamable species a dwarf could tame... it's possible to tame them.
which means probably have them as a pet?

finally get to see what the necromancers where doing with bogeymen.
I can see why they keep them as summons.
well kinda hit the kicker on this plan, I need a preserved body and uhh ragdolling a bogeyman into the ground probably damage the body enough to not being fit for reanimation.
the other idea was get them to transform and kill them which probably leaves a body post the sunrise but that requires not pissing off the bogeymen while killing them.



well didn't get a revived bogeyman but I got the corpse out of the cackling from the bogey just transforming into a Tiger that bleed out.
so now I got an undead lich human lady riding a shapeshifting undead bogeyman. probably find a way to preserve the bogeybody, but uhh the bogeymen polymorphing into animals turns them into wild animals thus any protection from having no fear was gone and I think dragging the body away from the spot it died probably prevented me from resurrecting them. either way 10 percent chance of this evil biome to show up so one could get themselves a shapeshifting companion mount.

Make an adventurer that worship's a god then build a temple for said god in fort mode, then topple that to get them cursed, then retire them with a bag full of their blood and just unretire them in advparties to just give advfolks blood.

So in adv news, uhh struggling to find a vanilla bogeyman, reach the point where nightmare gods being around aren't enough to make nightmare evil realms the fiends are just popping up spires on their own, then getting stabbed in the back by goblins.
it's been 5ish days since I started playing 47.01 and got like 21 worlds genned for the sake of finding Bogeymen.
where in DF 47.01 is Bogeymen Sandiego.

fake edit :
god this is flipping hard to get, I was getting 'flash backs to the time I went and researched if the adventure could have kids.'

so uhh moral, it would probably take 21 worlds and you being alone and decided to wipe out all gods from the land in an mad attempt to get a nightmare evil region from an nightmare diety and the result ends up with all the spire owners needing no god or masters to raise them from the pits, and dying to goblin assassination attempts.

Ehh, im okay with bogeymen being basically nonexistent now.

given how driven mad I went looking for them I kinda wished there was an Worldgen option to Toggle the dang night time thing.
this horrible mess was like Finding MEW under a truck. like chances are getting a pet would invalidate accessing the cackling as the pet is technically a companion.
now if you excuse me I gotta get disappointed over the resurrection mechanic not letting bogeymen talk, and or realizing getting an zombie bogeymen now would be getting a zombie that can transform and be pet and mounted.
