GENERAL COMMENTS
Only attack from your locations onto stacks of units (guardsmen), swat can hit and run singles, by the time there are mutant zombies out there only attack if they are injured. Swat only attack if the zombies are in the red.
quick estimate, most zombie location creates a new one every 2-3 turns on average. The core cities put out a new one every turn in the beginning and every other turn later on in the game. So just count the number of zombie
location and figure out how many zombies you have to kill each turn for them not to grow.
Most locations have a building next to them. Attack from that one and not from the street since it grants protection on the defence the following round.
Got to see Monsterdogs so the Zombie AI did reach Zombigeddon, but never built any of the megazombies. I wonder where the zombie-goo resource was.
Is it possible to get an army? You can build the military hq that says it increases the amount of units in an army but I have never gotten any. With the amount of elite troops I had attacking zombies one would think atleast
one had been spawned.
BUG;
says the tank is supposed to be able to attack several times in a turn. it couldn't. perhaps cause the text is a clip from the german pazner.
ANNOYING THINGS;
Why can't the troop truck fortify?
Why does the spending reset to 5.5.0 every turn?
Conclusion for Authority success;
Relocate HQ to armoury.
Holdout until guardsmen (elite guardsmen usually take out mutant zombies)
When you get Sledgehammer and can build tanks you should be able to take control of the situation.
