This is slightly off topic, but instead of naming Zeb's sheep Dolly, it should be named Shaun. (Can you guess where I got that from).

The zips are fine I just tested them. It could be a problem with your network connection which is corrupting the file during download. Try downloading the file again.
I don't think I'd played this one since the original version way back when, but I just got round to it and it devoured two evenings. This is fantastic, and certainly more involved than the first version, which was fine to begin with. An original new spin on Civ that really works, and so many clever ideas in there.
I notice that people have been saying that the Zombies are too powerful - I have to say that they seem less powerful than they were to begin with, and in fact I won (as the Survivors) without too much difficulty. First I tried a game on 15 and wiped the Zombies out entirely, and then I tried one on 18 and won without enormous problems (although poor, poor Mr Tokugawa met his fate in heroic but hideous fashion - lucky Our Hero was keeping a close eye on his daughter...).
My only complaint is that the rate of tech advance is very slow. It would be nice to progress more quickly, perhaps with more techs along the way...

So now I need to make it more difficult 
I take your point about tech advance. My opinion is that too many techs too quickly can swamp the player. If tech progression is really fast I (personally) can stop caring about tech choices and chomp through the Science Adviser screen on auto-pilot.
I want the action to be fast paced of course but I also want the player to have "time" to think more strategically (silly thing to say of course in a turn based game).
I think you've gotten too good at Civ Plot
I found Rood very challenging so perhaps you are just better at Civ than me

Much harder. They have a real challenge in that all the nearby Zombie properties have got king units in, making it very hard to capture them - also, they have worse terrain than the Survivors, which means their properties stay at pop 1 and it's hard to make much money. Quite a challenge!
It would be great to have some pedia entries for the Director, the Head of Security, and so on - loved the Natasha one! Genetic enhancements indeed. I'm sure that some scary pedia entries could be created for the Zombie king units too.
Just noticed that I seem to be in the scenario as a lurching abomination of rotting flesh. How did you know?

Yes they are a challenge but they have their 'Space Race' victory condition.Plotinus said:
I tend to rely on Goblin Fanatic for the pedia descriptions these days. He's responsible for Natasha's entry.Plotinus said:
