Orcnet: Map approved

Please crop screenshot. Also, this looks great. You should make more screenshots to really show off your work.

Well, i hope it will be approved soon. I can add better screenshots later.

Hey Argos, nice terrain on the map.

I will try to make a review on this, I have played many times in the past so I can see you easily getting a 3/5 already.

Downloading for a test.

Map approved.

You mean Nightmare mode?

yes. Nightmare mode

Nightmare mode gives zombies periodically gold for faster tech.

Good potential

Hey Argos,

Firstly I'd just like the say this map has great potential, the scenario is a great one to have and the gameplay can be fun. Unfortunately I would say that 70% of games hosted fail due to players who do not understand how to win as zombies, they either get agitated and leave or more experienced human players are able to stop them from expanding.

The solution to this is to make zombies more appealing to new players, perhaps include an ingame onscreen text guide? The main cause of frustration and leavers is, I would argue, unit lag. The fact that zombies are slow to start off with is fine, the fact that they can lag a few seconds after being ordered around is a major problem.

As ever there are multiple solutions but the simple one I see would be to make individual zombies stronger and reduce the overall number of them. Zombies should also have a delete ability on individual units.

Another issue is the role of orange, most hosts either leave the slot closed or fill it with someone who cannot be trusted to 'add' to the game. Something should be done to address this issue and integrate them into the game.

These are all my personal opinions but if someone could do this I believe the game would be much better. Unfortunately I am not that person and I don't believe you are actively modifying this map are you Argos? So I will leave this message in the hope someone, someday will see it and attempt to correct the problems I have just outlined. All that said thanks for a good overall map

Thanks Bashrock for your review and support,
this map lacks many things and i agree that zombies need some serious upgrades for newbie players. Orange was made to be an optional race and it has no really potential ingame, i just thought that it was cool to play as dwarves. When they first appeared in MZA, humans always killed them too easily and that's the only reason why i made them stronger. I still dont fully understand why hosts are restricting dwarves since hero-killing and OPness is the whole point of this game + they actually help zombies to make the game easier. So dwarves should be probably occupied by someone with normal/higher inteligence and somehow help one or another side to balance. Im planning to release a FINAL version of Medieval Zombie Apocalypse on its anniversary. Im currently working on my bigger project called War of the Clans, click here if youre interested.

A final version sounds great, thank you and I've played clans once or twice, best of luck with it

Okey so why on earth is there that unlimited gold thing for zombie at grey place?
Second zombie are really weak I agree with what the other person said it just the unit lag plus the fact it almost impossible to get gold at a certain stage of the game. I feel like dwarf should be playable it kind of sad to see them always closed. Over all the game is good and feel fine and the secret are good.

Unlimited gold encourages zombies to kill gray if they are able to. Notice that gray's base is only optional target, becuse people were whining that it's imposible to kill.

As i said before there will be hopefully FINAL version where number of zombies will be limited thus no unit lag and of course they will be alot stronger than their current counterparts.

Dwarves are fully playable, it is only host's decision to close the orange spot. Herokilling is a part of the game and dwarf hero doesnt revive either.

Thanks for support.

Zombie attacks are very popular these days, not only in movies but also to games. What if it happens in real life? Horrifying isn't it? Well, there is no need to fear the living dead because the Centers for Disease Control is tasked with tracking and informing the public about threats to health. The CDC's official blog on Monday, May 16, considered how to prepare for a zombie attack. The advice contained in this post may come from a rather tongue-in-cheek place, but the advice contained in the post is very real.

Good map.
