1st off, sorry if this is in the wrong section i couldn't find a better one really, and first post.
I had an idea for a map a while back where it would basically be zombies taking over the world, kinda like world war z i guess (i havent read the book...) anyways my idea was to make a world map with a bunch of modern civs, and a few cities would be overrun with zombies. My plan was to get ideas to do it myself or to have help of some kind.
My thoughts for cities were:
A few cities in Eastern China, and then 1 or 2 'infected' cities in each continent, USA would have LA and maby Miami infected, Europe would have a few spread around ect.
My original plans were to have only one type of unit, being a zombie. But i realised that in order for zombies to spread over water they would need more units, so this is what i came up with.
A zombie would have simple stats, 8/3/1 with a 66% chance of enslaving a zombie. The zombies would have a wonder in some city which would give every 'infected' city a zombie every 2 turns.
Zombie ship- the idea is that it is a trade ship of some kind drifting aimlessly in the seas. Somthing along the lines of 6/6/3 (holds 3) with a 66% chance of enslaving another zombie ship (infecting the crew)
Waterloged zombie- some unit which can move an both water and land, not sure if it is practical, stats would be 7/3/1 with a 66% cance of enslaving a zombie.
I would somhow like to make it a desperate situation for the world, the only way to wipe the zombies out would be to all group together, but with selfish civs it would be hard to organize somthing like this.
Aditional units would be simple but important for the game, my ideas were...
Civilian. A piece of crap unit which is basically zombie food, 1/1/1 the idea would be to evacuate them, disbanding them would be bad somhow... could be upgraded to militia giving them 7/5/1 and then upgraded again to a 'zombie hunter' at 10/7/2
Fishing trawler. Would be very vunerable but would be very important to evacuate civilians and transporting troops, would be 2/2/3 (holding 2 units)
So basically right now i am looking for a good map to use as a base, i tried the Cold War Map but it was dificult to add another civ with all the rules in place allready. If somone has any input or anything i would love to hear it.
