Zombie Request

[Swanny777]

I request for an Invasion Sub Mod that causes a faction of zombies to attack. They can only have one unit, the zombies, and no starting settlements of course. The model could just be something like an Aztec peasant with post battle blood on him, and he could have his speed set to be really low. Whenever the zombies take over a settlement, they are given nearly uncapped recruitment from any center, causing enormous numbers of them to be created whenever they take over a settlement of people. The health of their only unit would be extraordinarily low, with a single arrow taking one down. At the same time, however, they would spawn in nearly unlimited hordes until they were taken down at their source, where the garrison script would make it difficult to take the town anyway. They would also have very high attack on the chance that they finally reached their target.

I can't imagine that it would be overly difficult to create with these things in mind. Merely mod the existing model and texture, and then make the recruitment available at any barracks place but only available for this one faction. With the Invasion, you could simply cause them to move in with three or four stacks in the lower right or upper left hand corners of the map, and they would do all of the work for you. The EDU work wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes using the foundation that I have laid out, and the units themselves should not be hard to create.

If someone is feeling especially Swanny-loving today, I would really appreciate this. I love zombies.

I love killing zombies! There is a Medieval2 mod that has zombies in it. It's called Sandstorm or something... so get the hell out of the TATW forum Swanny

NOOOOOoooooo.

I want Elves to kill zombies that dare to trespass in their woods! I want Orc hordes to be forced to go one on two against the zombie masses! I want the men of Gondor to feel the hope flee their hearts as they stare at an enemy whose numbers are over twenty times those of the Orcs that they have spent their entire lives preparing to fight!

And think of the Dwarves, man!

[Disastras]

And think of the Dwarves, man!

Oh, I do think of them! It'd be awesome to see a dwarf cleave the head off a zombie! There is an animation pack for decapitations now... It was made by the same person that made the bowstring animation that came with the recent patch...

Now get the hell out

Now get the hell out

You do seem to be the only one opposed to my godly idea, Mr. Disastras. I want the Dwarves to be forced to be surrounded by endless hordes, slaughtering them as the axes cleave the Infected in half but slowly drain their energy. Watching as the bodies pile up, or "Hit the Floor" if you prefer, around their circular formation and yet hope still flees their hearts.

And, for the record, that is a spam link for anyone considering clicking on it.

MMMmmmmm so is this like the land of the dead third age twist...sounds....like fun but in saying that the lore peeps will probably not like the idea since zombies (from what i know) didn't really happen that much if at all.

Of course just an optional sub mod, and very simple to do.

[Borissomeone]

Well it does sound like fun,maybe like a outbreak or something along those lines make it a event that happen if there have been to many wars in the area and lots of bodies lying around.

[Borissomeone]

If you like zombies so much the mod Call of warhammer (not released yet) has a undead faction. Maybe your undead dreams will come true there.

[Disastras]

LOL I'm all about the zombies Amigo. I think it would be way fun... http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=278747 (This link isn't spam... but either was the other one )

BTW, I was just joking about getting the hell out part. I just wanted to beat all the lore police to the punch

[chriswhite]

This would be sweet!

I endorse this thread. Bring on the zombies! Would be a really easy mod to do... now only if I had any modeling\texturing\scripting skills.

I feel your pain. :/

[OfficerJohn]

I can script!
If only I had the game and the mod...

The part of me that loves Tolkien hates this idea, but the part of me that loves zombie-killing, loves this idea. I'M SO TORN!

That's a really intriguing idea. It just doesn't jive with TATW at all. It would be fun, but it would also kill the immersion of the game for me... So I say make the submod, I'll play it once, have a ball, and then delete all traces of it from my computer and jump on the bandwagon with the lore nazis and denounce your horrible sin of a submod. Sound like a plan?

I concur.
