What now?

[asshole doctor™]

woo hoo yet another zombie boost from kevin right on time. dang.

[zokolate]

i think he wants to break the impasse at giddings/morrish ... =(
i'm sure everyone has heard on the radio about someone claiming to have headshoted bubs with a flare?? i think i'll go do the same ...

[blanemcc]

Bub is getting it

Hell, its a welcome nerf though, the zed numbers have been dropping rapidly. This could put a whole new twist on the current siege.

I think we should prove that we're up to the challenge

[asshole doctor™]

times to change tactics.

[blanemcc]

Done : Kill, Cade, dump, heal.

Hmm, thats not very utilitarian

[Redwave]

This doesn't stop us from barricading completely. We'll just need more people, or better use of AP.

Or we can just kill everything that comes in.

This update isn't as bad as the last one, but smaller scale battles are going to be really one sided.

[danr]

Oh, it does F the whole cade heal kill thing. Look, the thing here is, a coordinated attack of a zombie horde will destroy us no matter wtf we do unless we have a bunch of people on the watch every damn minute and can't let the cades go down.

Zombie way to destroy a mall: coordinate attack- insert at least a zombie- this corner with a zombie inside will pretty much will act like the former ruined/ransacked corner- 200 zombies out there enter, let the feast begin

[blanemcc]

1 zed doesn't take long to get rid of. Even half a dozen.

A dozen inside though could keep the 'cades down for any number of minutes, which in turn leads more zeds to enter.....

We survivors just got given a reason to carry around ammo again

Hey Redwave, I spent the long weekend (and yesterday) offline so I've been trying to catch up and just saw your duel idea, I think it's great, check the Bash forums for my time constraints, but lets definitely do it!

edit: I just started reading about the update too, no longer can we hate Trenchies so much, they now contribute to the defense for real with their enthusiasm for shooting before doing anything else.

[Magatsu Taito]

I just said the same thing in the other thread actually... DonTickles is my twin who was adopted away to a South American drug lord?!

Hey guys, regarding the lurching autoblocking:

If you have an active strike, try slamming the door closed. I'm not for sure, but I bet that's not blocked, and it will force them to open the doors.

Edit: If about 2-5 actives door-slammed while the rest started blasting and dumping, there's a chance all the bodies could be down long enough to bump up the cades.

[Magatsu Taito]

That could work... It's at least worth a try if you ask me.

[Bob Beetlebum]

Not sure yet but it looks like zombie chance to block might be cumulative. So let's say 1 zed blocks 50%, 2 block at 75%, etc.

By the time you get ten zeds the chance to cade gets pretty astronomical.

And with ten zeds, the best thing they can do is just stand there - not attack anyone. As soon as one gets killed it just stands up and walks back in. Half an hour of the doors wide open, and you've got 50 zeds inside.

[Tight Rope]

Oh good lord. They just hit the NW corner and ~12 got in. It was scary. I got down to half hit points, and pretty much ran out of ammo before we managed to get rid of them.

I really don't know if the mall will last the night. Get many more than a dozen coming in at once and it'll be hard to stop without at least that many survivors active.

[Ron Burgundy]

That door thing is a great idea, Sexy Rexy! It's totally the key- just keep swinging it back and forth! This is such a ridiculous zombie apocalypse.
