High Risk combat

Maybe this is against what project zomboid is about but aren't the zombies a bit too strong? I mean, some can take 10-20 hits with a crowbar without event falling down- I think zombies should succumb with 1-5 well place blows, but have a higher chance to injure you if you mess up.

Also, when sneaking up behind a zombie, one strike to the head should be fatal (well, fatal enough to kill them again).

What?! I always think zombies in this game are not tough enough even when I set the toughness in zombie lore as high (tough).

Maybe it's because I focus on multiplayer and when I have 2 companions, these tough zombies are pieces of cake.

 

However, even with super-zombie settings, I don't often see when a zombie can absorb 10-20 crowbat hit.

It sounds strange to me.

Are you playing with proper zombies??

Zombies become easier to kill as you level up your skills, and as others have suggested - trying other weapons might be in your best interest. Personally, early in the game I prefer two-handed weapons like Baseball bats because of their knock-back and increased chance to floor a zombie. You need to spread your combat out too - if you're fighting off three or more in quick order, you're going to get fatigued. Fatigue is the bane of a good brawler. Once you learn how to efficiently fight, you'll find that Zed are pretty easy to kill in small numbers.
