I believe only foreign nationality units can be sacrificed.
Spacer One... sacrifice would only allow a captured unit to be sacrificed for culture and there is no need for more Culture in this game.
The Chainsaw Maniacs, Strippers and Dockers have a 0 cost because they cannot be built...only produced from their Key Locations. Therefore, those three units will not bring any shields if disbanded. Spunky Kids can be built so they will bring shields if disbanded even though they are also produced from a Key Location.
...Some players just wanted the ability to get rid of the free units if they do not want or need them and I agree that those free Units should Not be forced on anyone so Chainsaw Maniacs, Strippers and Dockers can be disbanded without gain.

Or perhap makes the striper ability to be added to a city? like how settler or worker does? It would help cities where growth isn't that fast out..or would it unbalance the game too much?
Cloner4000... Yes, that would be too much because those units are free and increasing population carries a great deal of power in several ways.
best to use those free units and IF not wanted...players can disband them. I doubt this will happen much with the final version...you will want all the "help" you can get

yea...well to me they are great as fortified mil. units that makes the citzens happy for the citys that's more on the inner side of my defense paremeter, as they are less likely to be swarm by monster zombies.
btw, I saw the new unit for monster zombie..he look very badass.....

A word concerning the Update and Finished Game... It has been and remains to be an extremely complex undertaking that has taken thousands of hours of work, however, it is far more corrected and complete now with many new additions.
It is planned to be released as an Update and the entire Updated game as soon as the testing and additions have been completed.
Many things have been changed or adjusted as well as added... some of you will be happy to know that I just added a new "Key Location" that will provide a way to Kill Squids as well as go to Adventure Island earlier, especially from the West side of Paradise Island, so this will help the Survivors as well as any Human Faction that gains the Key Location. I am currently working on the game play concerning the units and making a few adjusted/new animations for the added unit that will be produced from the new Key Location. The Logistics always prove more than desired to "get around" concerning the Hard Coded factors and editor but making very good progress.
The Slowest thing is testing after doing all the work but it is essential that I see personally the results of the work in the actual game to be able to be as assured as possible that all plays as planned.
This game is actually 5 games in one where all interact at the same time...very difficult to manage indeed because what helps one faction provides too much power for another, etc... It would be far easier and faster to make a Game where the Survivors and Zombies were the only "Factions".
There will always be things that could be added or changed but knowing when to say "this is Finished" is important too. Mainly, I personally want this game to be finished where I know the time and effort has delivered an exceptional game for all...Time marches on but some Old things can be quite fun as I am sure many of you older guys know. I hope this game will be played and enjoyed by many people...otherwise, it will serve as an extreme lesson in how to "kill a few years" for essentially nothing more than understanding "everything you always wanted to know about the CIV Game but were afraid to ask"
Much work and rather slow going now but I will keep you posted.

Ok, another unit idea --
Out of the whole game, I am probably the most dissatisfied with the pyromaniac. I just do not see civilians donning full military garb and all carrying real flame throwers. When I think pyromaniac, I think 'Moltov Cocktail Thrower' -- kind of suprised none have ever been made, as they would probably be very popular.
I had thought Ruby Sauce's 'Bomb Guy' might work better as a pyromaniac, but it is not quite up to par.

egroen... well, the Pyromaniac units are explained in the Civilopedia concerning the Gear and where they got it but I do agree that the unit is too Military looking even though it is a Great Unit.
Funny you mention this because I had thoughts over a year ago about making a unit for the Farmers called "the Drunk" that would toss Booze "Molotov Cocktails".
IF there was time to make new units for all Pyromaniac units, it would be nice. The Farmers and Survivors have them and the Survivors have the separate "Flamin' Hero" Upgrade as well.
A desirable solution would be to replace the Pyromaniac for the Farmers with another different but very Good Unit and make a New Pyromaniac that looks more like a civilian for the Survivors. The units would all need to be top quality like the current Pyromaniac unit. This could be done but would postpone the Update longer. Still working on many things as it is now and not enough hours in a day. Completing all of the details in all areas is time consuming...have to see if time will permit these changes.

Absolutely fantastic scenario! I can't believe how long some of these things (scenarios that is) last. I am glad to see this particular one stay up at the top for so long. Great work!
The update mentioned before, has this already been done, or is it still in the works? I wasn't sure whether minor tweaks had been made and that was it, or if you planned on adding/tweaking/sprucing up even more of a wonderful game in the future.
Ooo! Are there any plans for an Escape from Zombie Island 3? Maybe CIV 4 style?
Thanks again for the hours of zombie fun.

iZombie, d.highland and all players... Glad you like the Game and Yes, it is still being worked on constantly.
Sorry I have not posted for a while but I have not rested with work towards the Update.
There were several factors that were not correct with the game settings that have been corrected as well as many more additions added. These errors would not be seen or necessarily discovered with previous uploads (unless you play as the Zombies) so one might argue the point of completely reworking the game...but this is necessary in my opinion.
...Yes, there are more additions and setting changes for sure to complete this Scenario. Currently working on Replacement Units and Game Play Factors.
The Final Update will be as complete as can be ...or I suppose best to say as Complete as this version is intended with personal considerations at the time of Release.
Personally, I find it impossible to just Upload an Update and call it Final IF it is not completed as wanted. After so much work, it would be an injustice to merely put out an update and call it Finished if it does not meet personal desires and corrections for the game to complete the work. The last Update was Removed due to discovered game setting Errors and the Corrections and Finalization of this game are being worked on constantly.
Previously, it was thought to be final but several problems became evident and the corrections changed many factors. I cannot say when the Final Upload will be Uploaded but I can say that I work on it constantly and have made Good Progress. There are only Three Units that Need Replacing and other than that, the Game play needs Testing many times to be sure all plays as desired for the Final Upload to this game.
...There are and certainly can be other Versions of this game that are being done or that could be created but it is my intention to Finalize this Version with the Next Update where all works as desired and is as complete as can be from a personal point of view.
This game will be Finalized and Uploaded...Please bear with me and know that I am doing the best I can to get this Game completed and the Final Update Out.

Here's a rather unusual question: Do you have a list of CFC'ers that have been infected and are now roaming Paradise City in search of brains?
No, unfortunately the names of those who download and play this game are not displayed. Perhaps there should be a Warning for players that states "Play at your Own Risk, Zombie Virus is Extremely Infectious!"... Symptoms include total loss of human emotions and an extreme desire for Brraaiinnsss.
