Wait for Next Version, Use current (.40.24,) or use older release (.34.11?)

Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

If things would stop dying then the necromancers would have gotten bored eventually.

Right now, we need some way to seperate necros from zombies to prevent infinite resurrection. I recommend a cavy corpse placed in a room with sealable doorays both to the surface and to the inside of the fortress, like so:

#############
#...........#
#.#.........#
#.#.........#
#.#.........#
#.#....c....+ ---> To Fortress
#.#.........#
#.#.........#
#.#.........#
#.#.........#
#+###########
 |
 |
 V
To Outside

(The bend in the passageway is so that the necros won't be able to raise the cavy until they're fully inside)

Seal the door to the fortress, open the door to the outside, and wait. When the cavy resurrects, it means that you've caught your necro and should probably seal the doors to keep them from getting out. Afterwards, you can open the door to the fortress and send your military in to get rid of the caught necros (the cavy corpse should go down quickly, and can in fact be reused).

actually it's more like 200, and briefly went up to about 350 after the spawn came through... :-/ played hell with my framerate, too now it's back down to 74, i think i may just focuss on clearing undead for the rest of my turn there is well over 1000 bodies and podyparts around the place :-S, sigh sign me up for another go sometime, i want to crash the clowncar ;-)
i'm just gettign rid of the bodyparts for them to resurrect via the spike bridge, but yeah we can do the cavycorpse idea, too

Methinks I'll need to do what I did before.

Humans can be trained into legends, I'll train these dorfs into gods. And on my next go I am going to say that as my opening statment, so get used to this broken record.

And I propose we do either magma chute garbage dumping or trash compaction with a purpose built bridge.

Whatever corpse you use for the necrotrap, make sure it's something easy-to-put-down, or Nastiness will occur. Oh, and care will need to be taken to not expose the miner to danger when opening the trap to the outside.

I think the necrotrap will be quicker at cutting off the source of the zombies. You'll still have to kill off the zombies themselves, though.

Those poor, poor Spawn. They were expecting legendary axedwarves and masterwork spike traps, not 300 reanimating kitten skeletons. That's like signing up for WWII and instead being catapulted into a black hole.

E: You get 74 FPS in this nightmare? What are you playing this on -- Skynet?

Racoon City is the city the first two resident evil movies take place in.

Short Answer: Google it.

Long Answer: That place with all the zombies.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

I haven't fully caught up with all the side-posts, but it's been far too long since my last story update, so here's a teaser:
