I found myself playing this again this past weekend Kingarthur; maybe the fact that you can play it a couple times in a day and actually finish is part of the reason. Quick & Dirty! Of course, it goes faster when you are getting kicked by the Zombies...
pinktiapia: I also just finished a Survivor game on Monarch; and I ddn't think the mean machine was unbalanced. Then again, I have seen the Monster Zombies when I tried playing this up on Sid; look up their stats in the pedia before you say they are too much! I lost plenty of them attacking those cities in the downtown areas. Just remember, a higher difficulty level will affect how fast the Zombies get their big guns out. I also made the mistake of going for Chain Girls first, which might have been a slight waste of time though.
Kingarthur: I'm going to send you a pm,or an e-mail today with some more ideas on this scenario, but a couple of things I need to say here. First, I tried the Company with the previous and this newer version, and both times I have gotten trounced playing on Monarch. I would love to hear some advice from anyone who has won with the Company, since I see it is really hard for them! I was not even able to take one city n either game.
Also, Ms. Tokugawa works, but the the T-800 unit does not! I see it in the reserach windows; it is listed in the pedia, but it never showed up in my build queue... what was I missing???
general comments: I am kind of wishing that there would be at least ONE ammo,fuel, etc. that does not move, but I understand if that is the way you want the scenario to play. The resources seem to disappear too fast and take too long to respawn though. The Zombies also seem to gravitate towards the center of the map; Not sure about this with the Authorities since I've yet to play them, but as the Surviviors and the Company I saw this a lot. I would say this works really well from the Survivors point of view; I only left two units to defend each city, but the Zombies pretty much left me alone or came in tiny dribbles. I was able to conquer my way to the Airport with effort, but if I tried to go for the heart of the city I got Zombie-smashed. I took the Fast Food Store moderately early, and it was a struggle but the waves of Undead mostly went back and forth between the Police Station and the Garage. At the end I was trying to get to the Heavy Weapons and took the Parking Lot, but that was a HUGE struggle, and I am still not sure how I managed it; they should have pulverized me. Btw, the new tanks are wonderful! Slow, but wonderful.
I just want to say Thanks again for such a little gem. There is nothing else in my scenario collection quite like it.
edit: I just looked at the .biq file and I figured out the problem with the T800; you have it listed as being available to The Authorities, not The Company. Easy enough to fix!
). But anyways it was really good and challenging as the survivors,but is the flaming hero better version of Badass hero ?
