Once here they can use the Zombie Outbreak operation to attempt to spawn zombies in this area that will then cause issues for the enemy civilization, and in turn make things easier for the player. A great method is to use a spy and infiltrate an enemy city that is far away from the player. This will prevent players from having their units destroyed or zombified.Īnother thing that players can do to give themselves an edge in this game mode is to use the zombies to their advantage against enemies.

As soon as the player is able to they should try and switch their military units to both air and sea, and their trading routes should be transferred to sea rather than moving resources on land. A little trick to keep in mind is that zombies can only attack and move across land, so the sea and air are completely safe areas for players. While it is possible to just build up defenses and strengths to fend of the zombies, this can be a very costly strategy in both resources and soldiers. Players who hope to survive for any stretch of time at all should try their best to work towards naval and aerial methods of transportation as quickly as possible. Players who want to reduce the zombie population should kill any normal barbarians that they see to prevent them from being turned and destroy camps as they operate as zombie spawn points. If a player's unit is killed by a zombie then they are guaranteed to come back as a member of the undead on the next turn, and even killing other zombies it is fairly likely that they will respawn anyway. The reason being that there are many things that spawn new zombies, and engaging in combat is one of these ways. When confronted by a horde of zombies it may seem like a good idea to wipe as many of them off the map as physically possible, but this is actually a very bad idea. Players should also invest in building walls around each of their settlements to keep zombies far away. Both of these defenses can be made better by being constructed by a Military Engineer. Barricades however deal slightly less damage than traps and deal their damage when a zombie leaves the tile that the barricade is constructed on. Traps can be constructed by Builders in either owned or neutral territory, which will then slow nearby zombies down and deal damage to them when they step on the trap. One big change to this game mode is that there are now certain defenses and traps that the player can research in order to protect themselves against zombies.
