[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8289585, member: 7030132"] I don't think unintelligent undead would replace farmers. They would replace draft animals and beasts of burden, so a cart would not be pulled by an oxen but for zombies for example. But you still need a living person to steer. So I do not see why people would starve. Farmers would still be farmers and mainly produce for their own consumption + a little bit extra and skilled labour certainly won't be replaced by zombies anyway. Only untrained day labourer, the poorest of the poor and usually already dependent on soup kitchens might find competition from undead. Undead labour might have an effect on some branches, for example they could be used for spinning which was very time consuming, but not complicated which might affect prices which in turn might affect normal peasants which also spun thread as second income. But even there, experience matters so a undead might not be able to spin the best thread which might make it not a very economical choice to have an undead for spinning. [/QUOTE]
