    I was just thinking that it would be really awesome to play empires as NF, while endless zombines pour out of the previous flag... there would be 3 zombies per player on the server... when you kill a zombie it respawns again at the flag.

    but to stop it becoming too easy, I pictured that every time a zombie dies it respawns with 10 health more that it spawned with last time. if it gets a kill it spawns with 30 health less after it dies

    it would lead to some sort of perfect situation where the zombies have just enough health that they arn't too easy or too hard... you wouldn't be able to just sit behind turrets because with each new wave the zombies would be tougher and would get further... it could be great.


    obviously not something for krenz to code... just wondering if anyone that knew a bit of that spawn code I've heard of knew how to do something like this.

    NF should totally have a vf with a max vehicle limit of 1.
    I can see people buying jeeps to mow down all those zombies.

    I can see NF getting a heavy tank with .50 cal MG and HE cannon with lots and lots of regen armor and then just mowing the zombies down with the MG and spearing them on those spikes in the front of the tank... That would be awesome if someone could figure out how to do it... And you would need to prevent people from joining BE.

    when I pictured this I especially picture it on the map escort, so the zombies would spawn where BE usually spawn depending on the flag and then progress from there... the problem is that unless the map is dust storm or slaughtered the zombies are also going to need to be able to jump (like the flood in halo- massive jumps), else people will just set up level 3's on crates and just watch.

    It would be quite a project for someone trying this

    I belive it would just be easier to create a mod specific map; where there is no geomtry where they can get stuck...

    Why not just antlions, fast, can come out of nowhere. Give them more health and damage, the AI to take down enemy bases. I'd make for an interesting match.

    Then we need MOAR enemies don't we ;)
    Or as angry said, make them a lot stronger. Take antlions or fast zombies with the strenght of that poison headcrab zombie monster.
    We'll NEED nuke tanks then.

    Your nuke will only mutate us, and make us stronger!

    well the point with the +10 health per death is that although sitting behind turrets will work for a while, they're gunna start getting through eventually

    OMG THE FUSION OF EMPIRES, ETERNAL SILENCE AND ZOMBIE MASTER!!!

    MOTHERSHIPS LAUNCH YOUR ION CANNONS TO ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTYEIGHT ZOMBIES WHILE OUR 120 UNITS MOW THEM DOWN AT THE SAME TIME!!!

    That would be the highest mayhem havoc which I'll see in my whole life for sure. :cool:

    We N E E D to get together with ES and ZM. We N E E D massive amounts of players, we N E E D massive amounts of space on maps, we N E E D massive amounts of all kinds of space units and other units on maps and we need COLOSSAL amounts of zombies to kill.

    ...

    Maybe I overreacted a bit but stil just IMAGINE that.

    But yeah, we could use zombie mod for Empires. And even nukes wouldn't kill zombies eventually because they would have 1000 health or even more, like 10 000.

    That would be so awesome. :D

    LoL...and then make them all Hidden! And bring in pirates, knights and vikings just for the hell of it! (actually...tbh I prefer playing against humans, there's no sense of victory outwitting bots even if it is hard.)

    Don't forget that they need to enter cyberspace from the chocolate land.

    could the zombies be a third team? stored in a dark place somewhere but ready to be unleased by one team or the other (but would still attack both teams just would be half directed towards one unless some switch or other were thrown).
