Hi,

I'm really a great fan of this game, such a big fan that I even bought the book on which this game was based on.
However I have a couple of 'ideas' for a new version of this game, cause it seems there arnt alot of versions or difference between them.

MAP IDEAS
I really would like to see some change in the map of WWZ, europe is really done well but I would like some change of theatre or some expansion to the map, here are a couple of ideas:

1. World Map
My first idea would be to make a WWZ game concerning the WORLD MAP, the nations could include: China, Russian Federation, European Union, USA, ...
With a good done map this game could rock, cause the zombie virus started afterall in china!

2. Asia
Another map idea would be to focus specificly on Asia, with nations like Iran,Pakistan, India of course this wouldn't be that popular I think .

3. USA and Europe
This seems like another pretty cool idea, there have been plenty of wc maps that did this, so it IS possible. In the book the USA is indeed a major player in the war, although it techniclly lost, it did survive!

ZOMBIE IDEAS
The catacomb system beneath Paris and Rome was really well tought off but it take to much map space imo and is way to big to make it 'realistic' towards the book. I suggest the following:

1. Smaller Catacombs
There would still be catacombs beneath Paris and Italy but WAY smaller, the starting defenses of fra and it would also be lesser and it would create more space for other things on the map.

2. Zombie Infected Cities
Zombies should start with a couple of them located in the east (cause it the virus has spread in asia) to compensate with the smaller crypts.

Well thats about it for now
cheers

Hi and welcome to the forums. Thought i would just point out a few thigns to you before someone flames you.

1. A word map would be GREAT however you gotta look at other world maps that are out. Consider europe u can walk from eastern russia to western france fairly quikly so basically it means either you hold your initial lines or you will lose most of your base.

2. Asia would be nice since it all started there. i actually wouldnt mind it since in the book there was a mini nuke war so u could have that as a trigger then have like radiation spreading over the map as well or something.

3. Usa yea wouldnt be that bad. personally dont care cause im aussie but it would be the most realistic to book. I think russian was looking for someone to give him a good map of usa and he would then apply all the units and such to it balanced nicely.

4. Europe already exists and is nice with and without Catacombs

5. Zombie ideas sound ok, but with the already infected cities it should be noted that the zombies have 12 units in the middle east from the start... if they are smart and conbine to take 1 quikly then they should be able to have a chance in that corner.

18 units in ME and 4 in siberia surrounded by neutrals that can be used as food. Ideas sound interesting, but right now things are very hectic and I have almost no spare time. I'm doing my best to get 1.21 out. All of these ideas would require significant work, and I would definetly need a partner on the project (one who could code) to get this done. Serenity was talking about a WWZ USA that he wanted to do.

18 units in ME were is the other 6 units? I know there are 6 units next to each of the 2 southern most cities.

4 units in siberia. forgive me for asking but that is the 4 units in the top right corner of the map?

TheRussianLord

No there are 6 zombies near the two southern cities, and 6 more near one of the steppe cities. The south-eastern one. The 4 in Siberia are indeed in the top right corner.
