If you use pigtails to make paper and get some books put together, Uthra might write some books concerning the secrets of life and death, since that's something he knows about. That having been said, the best way to make use of necromancers is to capture an enemy necromancer in a cage (which I don't believe inhibits their ability to raise the dead) and position them somewhere where you can safely dump corpses for them to raise that can then be released. Undead armies are Fun of course, but they don't compare against well trained dwarves or *VAMPIRE DWARF ARMIES*.

Perhaps by dropping them prior to retiring the Blind Lord they became foreign property and won't be touched? Do they show up in your stocks?

Either method will work but it's a lot quicker and easier to just start the fort's entry hall with 2 downward ramps. Though you can build right under the surface if you want to cheese the game a bit. If you channel an area down from the surface, the game will now count the pit you just dug as outdoors and above ground. It stays that way even if you build a roof over it. This allows for some helpful shenanigans: you can now grow aboveground crops without actually building above ground (aside from the floor/roof) and you can keep your refuse stockpile safely inside without creating miasma. A word of warning: it might take awhile to completely roof off the room so it's best to leave it unconnected to the rest of your fort until the roof is complete. Otherwise, it's a pretty huge vulnerability.

AFAIK scrolls can be put in libraries (and presumably read?). I think I've had scrolls in a library before. I know there's a bug where books/scrolls can get locked into a job that never gets finished. Forbidding and unforbidding 'em should fix it if that's the case. I've never messed around with necromancy myself, so I dunno any more than that. Scholars discussing stuff will train the relevant skill for them. They also 'discover' topics, and can write books about them, if you've got writing supplies in the library. Visiting scholars will indeed occasionally run off with a book, but they'll also write books for you and leave them in the library (in my experience you get more than you loose). Anyway, a great return to form! Looking forward to see what happens in Tradehoof next time. Thanks for the episode!

I have been playing around with necro forts for a week now and yes fortress mode dwarfs will only read quires or books(written on quires are made into books, but that is not needed for them to read it). It also helps to only bring a single book with the secret on so that your dwarfs don't waste their time reading normal books. Once you do have a necro quire/book in your library your dwarfs will race to read it. For your current paythrough you can make some quires at your fort and store them where you can find them, uninsall your necro slab and put it nexto the quires, then make an adventurer at your fort with a point in reading and writing , read the necro slab and then write a few manuals untill you get the secret.

Just a warning that yo will run into a few small problems with a necro fort and then one real bugger of a problem. Namely the your necro dwarfs will never eat and drink normally and yet still will get massively distracted by not having eaten or drunk anything. After about a year of being a necro a dwarf will be so distracted by not having eaten/drunk that they will move and work like a snail and gain no skill xp. You can still get your necro dwarfs to drink by using tavern keepers(which will have them working far faster and be able to skill up again for a few months) but they have a tendancy to kill your dwarfs if left unsupervised and it is extremely haphazard just who a tavern keeper will serve. It might be possible to work around this by making small 2 or 3 necro dwarf squads and then using empty taverns, locked doors and swapping the inkeeper job between them to more reliably to get your dwarfs to drink but I have not tried yet.

They are making a fantasy simulator with emergent world/game mechanics, and your videos put a spotlight on where it is working and where not so much. Little details regarding the transfer/maintenance of ownership properties regarding those scrolls, and dwarves innate indefinite respect of ownership are these that should be tweaked to improve verisimilitude. Even the omnipresent knowledge of a books existence without it being publicized -- that you pointed out -- are details I hope the Devs hear about and take note of. I have been waiting to learn more about libraries for some time now, and I and I am excited you are starting to investigate them. Let's hope what issues you find get tacked on their bug list before the next release coming up. As always, excellent work! I am proud to be a Patrion supporter.

I'm amazed at how easily you got the books and slab back to the fort--typically, I need to fight my way through a mob of zombies, which often times crashes the game for getting too "target-rich." It looks like there's a difference between adventurer-mode necromancer characters and fortress-mode ones--in adventurer mode, a necromancer character is completely ignored by the undead. What happens if you bring an adventurer to move the scrolls into the library? In fact, you might want to remove all the scrolls that are *not* necromancer books, so as to increase the chances of your dwarves reading them.

Dude, fun fact- I started new worlds TWO times before this one and did a bunch of recording but both times the audio was all jacked up. Both those other times were MUCH easier than this one for some reason. I didn't think it'd end up being easy at all! Hrmm, i'll have to try this. Good ideas, Mr. U :)

You need to put cabinets in the library to hold scrolls.

Cool episode! I do distinctly remember reading about a succession fort where *all* the dwarves became necromancers, but I forgot the name. I'm honestly a little amazed that you managed to rob a necromancer tower with just a crab villager. Most people spend a lot of time training for that. Next up you'll clear a vault with a peach-faced lovebird man! (Yes, that's a real in-game creature.) Looking forward to a Part 2! EDIT: Also, it's worth noting that necromancers in towers will often be carrying slabs or books in their inventories, so you can just kill them (or wrestle it out of their hands) to get it.

ooooh. I'm liking the new into animation. I think I liked the music on the old one better though. Also, when do you predict the update will come out? He's just moved onto bug fixing for it.
@kruggsmash7 жыл бұрын
Thanks, dude. This song is only the intro music for my "Short Fort" episodes. I have no idea when the next update will come out. At this point I'm not daring to think it'll happen anytime soon!

In one my fortress dwarves became necromansers. I had near 10 ntcromansers. It started when I ordered to attack necromancers tower not far away from my fortress. My squad returned with books from tower. You guess wich books was it. And yes, my fortress starts to be a necrofortress. Hunter-necromancer is that guy, who killing animal, than revive it back as zombie. )))
@GrahamFox7 жыл бұрын
this was a great "little" video. I hope it's a bug that those friendly zombies attacked. perhaps you could try dumping books you don't want read?

I have the distinct feeling that those zombs could never be allied. Doesn't mean we can't still use our little necro-friend though!
