Hmm. Interesting stuff about the escape key. I'll investigate that.

Argh, I haven't written much about weapons yet. But it should be the purpose of next release...
I affraid that everything seems too obvious to me, as I coded it. Which is dangerous ! Here is a quick desciption :
- nuke : destroy everything in a relatively small area
- train soldiers : turn some humans into soldiers who will shoot at zombies (but these can be turned into zomies too)
- troops supply : gives ammo to troops (each soldier is limited to 8 shots)
- group troops : have soldiers to stay relatively close to de signated place
- disband : soldiers will go away from the place
- headquarter : every turn will turn close humans inot soldiers, have them to stay close to the place and give them ammo
- quick bomb : after 1/4 of a turn, will explode  with a medium sized radius
- bomb : after 1/2 of a turn, will explode
- big bomb : after 3/4 of a turn will explode with a large radius
- mine : will explode when a zombie gets close
- big mine : wil explode when a zombie gets close (relatively large radius)
- mine field : drops many mines in the area
- drop dirt : drops material similar to walls (zombies can dig it)
- pour concrete : drops material in a small area, harder for the zombies to dig.
- meeting point : humans will gather around on place. Every new meeting point will exerce a stronger attraction, so it might be used to have humans to move (actually, I am not sure that this one is usefull).
- forbidden area : humans will flee the area
- zombie bait : zombies will be attracted
- zombie repellent : zombies should flee the area
- inoculate humans : will turn humans into short lived zombies that will attack both humans and zombies (every new generation is weaker, so after a while they all die)
- bioweapon : will turn zombies into short lived zombies, attacking only usual zombies.

@libidomax : Bright zombies are already running at humans. But I reckon that they could be much cleverer.
Soldiers could have less ammo, or be dropped in smaller groups. More testing is required there to get the right balance !

Wow, this is quite simple, but fun. It never gets old luring zombies in and then using the bioweapon on them, then blowing up some walls so they can fight more zombies. Or, even better, training a few humans, placing zombie repellents and then a HQ to make the perfect anti-zombie squad!

Haha, pleased that you like it ! I do really like bioweapon too...

Its very interresting to hear about the way people play : I will probably change or remove some weapons (such as meeting point or the single mine, which I don't really feel are usefull enough the way they are now) and plan to build better weapons lists.
Speaking of "meeting point", it should get more use later (it might be mixed with helicopter evacuation)

Well, It does still for me... Maybe has it been down for a few hours. Or I have been silly enough to put a capital 'Z' in the address, inducing mistakes to users.

Kevan Davies' Zombie Infection Simulator, good times... Though it almost turned me off of Atom Zombie Smasher, since AZS's trailer made it look like a HD version of Hardcorepawn's version. Might try this later.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.
