stewydeadmike Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 So as of now all or mostly all of the zombie groups have relatively the same number zombies in them (not including hordes caused by meta noises, the player, house alarms, etc). But I think it would be fun if hordes varied in size, so instead having groups of 15 peppered across the map, zombies could form either larger or smaller groups (configurable in sandbox) to add a bit of randomness to the gameplay. An example is that you're going to loot a warehouse in muldraugh, as you make your way over to it you only come across small groups of 5-6 zombies, no big problem, but then when you arrive there is a large horde of 30 zombies right next to the warehouse. Now do you risk sneaking in to get the loot? or do play it safe and wait until the horde moves? or do you try and clear the horde yourself which could potentially end in your death. This would be a nice addition to keep things a bit more randomized rather than uniform. CaptKaspar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKaspar Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I want this! I ideally would like to be able to set the minimum number and the maximum number of zombies in a horde. Then have each horde be a random number between those two numbers. Example: Min: 5Max: 50 (Maybe a slider in the options) Then we would see things like this: Horde A: 12Horde B: 48Horde C: 6Horde D: 27 stewydeadmike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the zeds on high though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShuiYin Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 This will be nice in game i think also goes well with the devs philosophy since they recently introduced randomized building states and stuff +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I definitely support this idea. Sandbox is what makes PZ an amazing game compared to most others. Giving the player more freedom to design their apocalypse would be very welcome, and this would be a fantastic way to do so. CaptKaspar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
