I think we should break the zombie maps into 2 types, easy and hard. Make the easy map the current (zombie map drop of Nov 2020) and make the hard zombie map, well, harder. Specifically, make z's more likely to spawn in low morale cities, but also give them a small chance to spawn in territories that are low morale (with a significant reduction in starting hp, to denote lower population density). I'd also like to see some kind of air defense, but it's hard to figure out how ... maybe say carrion birds swarm around zombies, inflicting damage to choppers and low-flying aircraft and giving bombers fits in terms of targeting. What do ya's think?

I don't want to just bump up the combat numbers. I want to make them more difficult to deal with strategically, not just tactically.

I like the idea of evolving. Maybe make zombies that spawn from entrenched hives a higher level, with better combat statistics. I'm envisioning the initial zombie spawn from a city being the equivalent of infantry, zombie spawns from territories as national guard, and zombies that spawn from hives being lvl 2-3, while zombies that spawn from hives that have existed for a week (game time) would be lvl 3-5. Something like that. And give the hive zombies air defense capabilities, with the advanced hive zombies having stronger defenses (i think the 2-3.5 is a bit harsh to start with, but that's just me).

How about Christmas zombies? Dress them up like Santa and elves and put it out for Christmas day only.

It's time to bump this back up to the front of the queue - I'm jonesin for some Z's man!

No, that's a reverse zombie map - zombies play "kill the humans".

hmmm... there has one problem for air defence, they cannot use any anti-air launcher weapons, examples 'Fim-92 Stinger'. These weapons can use only infantry humans, cyborgs and androids, but not brainless monsters.

I've thought about this. So, carrion birds circle the zombies, eat their flesh, turn into zombie birds, and attack any aircraft that approaches.
