Should we enforce force, or force enforcement?

We should forcefully enforce force enforcement.

Then you've been (un?)lucky. try mother evil biomes. Undead won't necessarily spawn in evil biomes, and they won't necessarily ressurect.

Yes, wait and see what happens in the next seige.

Hmmm, do you think it would help if they were not forbidden?   

Well if it's forbidden it can't even be touched by a dorf

You know, that's actually kind of weird... for all their ingenuity, dwarves still haven't found a way to touch forbidden stuff.

If they could it would rather defeat the point of it being forbidden. Besides, if Armok himself says 'Don't touch this' they aren't going to touch it.

Depending on the evil biome, it may resurrect anything dead on that biome. Zombies can spawn on the evil biome and they may wander across into the good biome. Xombies that wander off the evil biome may un-resurrect (according to the magmawiki).  Evil biomes may also have evil weather, which as mentioned bove can have several effects. Evil weather may also huskify living things caught in it , depending on the weather syndrome. Husks (also known as [weather name] husks/thralls/zombies - note this kind of zombie is different from regualr undead) are super strong, retrain clothing, weapons and skills, and will not de-animate. They must be killed by decapitation, bisection, atomsmashing, cave-ins, or obsidianising.

get them to high skill levels and they'll be known by the military name instead of a civilian one. Alternatively, give them a nickname

as for the war dogs.. I don't know if chains/ropes work, never used those much. Or just don't train them to wardogs. It doesn't make them stronger or anything, it just makes them attack everything that is a potential threath (they're ok with some animals). Last option is making sure they don't see them.

I think war dogs are more powerful in combat, just as hunting dogs are quicker. Carnivores like dogs go for any enemy they see, trained or not. Adding the [CARNIVORE] tag to something like a water buffalo makes them destroyers of men elves.

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
