Zombie Survival

You can set one of the AI as a zombie, and play a zombie survival scenario, waiting for the date when a random city collapses due to the zombie plague. You must then survive the onslaught as the zombies constantly replenish their numbers off of your land, your soldiers and your people.
Build fortifications, and block of large areas of the map to recuperate your loses and plan for the reconquest of the world.

Alternatively you could play as the zombie. You will wait as the world progresses around you, until you are thrust into the world through the infection of a random city. Then you must bite and claw your way through every one of the players, using their own weaponry against them, until you succeed in wiping out humanity.



Gameplay:

A date, not shown to the player, is chosen for the start of the zombie apocalypse.

Zombie AI kept dead until the predetermined date is reached. Human players are put into a deactivated state.

When the date is reached, a random city is chosen and deleted. It is replaced by a number of zombies equal to 1/3 of the population of said city.

Zombies are about as powerful as industrial era units, although significantly slower, whilst Fast Zombies move at a regular rate, but are only as powerful as renaissance units.

Zombies have promotions that allow them to heal each turn, and to pillage land for free, however their main advantage is infecting enemies.

When a zombie attacks another unit, if that unit is not in a fort or citadel, then it is replaced by three zombies.

If zombies attack a city, then the city is disbanded and replaced by a number of zombies equal to 1/3 of the population.


This generally results in an exponentially growing army, that is almost impossible to stop before the industrial era. Later on, with access to nukes, planes, artillery, tanks and bazookas, zombies become much easier to manage, allow still highly destructive.


To activate the features of this mod, you must set combat quick off (found in the pause menu), turn complete kills on (found in setup menu), and set either an ai, or yourself as a zombie.
