It has, thanks for bringing it up.

Reading this thread makes me wish I survived long enough to get a mechanics skill good enough to do any of this.

Start with 12+ strength, Self-Defense Training, 4 skill in Unarmed, and Krav Maga as your selected martial arts style.  Be prudent with fighting on flat terrain and pick your fights behind windows or vehicles, and remember that you run faster than everything except dogs and wolves, you don't need to fight everything, and for the first few days you don't even want to fight anything.  Just run through town collecting food and water, then retreating outside of town and reading skillbooks until you've got enough survival, cooking, and tailoring to move into town full-time.  Once you reach that point, it's easier to survive in town, eat wolves and funnel-water, and focus on other skillbooks like mechanics, electronics, and high-level cooking.  You'll find it won't take that long to drain the zombie population from a small city and be left with wolves, spiders, wasps, and the occasional bear.

Speaking of: It seems a zombie doesn't have to die to be removed from the population pool.  Driving a motorcycle through a new city will draw a huge horde to follow you, but when you drive far enough that they despawn then when you return they won't be there to harass you again.  It seems (to my untrained eye) that spawning a zombie takes it from the region population.  Instead, I think when a zombie is killed it should lower the population of the map tile it died on.

Hmm this seems to be a bug. I suppose you are playing static spawn? dynamic spawn they should be added back into the population pool and will spawn again when you come into the area. Or maybe they didn't despawn and are still just trying to chase you?

[Girlinhat]

Oh, this is Dynamic.  While static is fun, I feel it makes the start game too difficult and makes the late game too easy, as well as too much 'instant combat' and then the town is just empty.

An Idea: Have the starting shelters start out really smashed. Take all the stuff the player can smash, and them smash about 75% of it and leave like 60% of the loot that would result scattered around the shelter. This'd make things easier for starting players, cause it's let them know things can be smashed, and somewhat more difficult for experienced players, cause they'd have less stuff overall available. This should probably also be done to most other places, too.

In one ancient version, all buildings would spawn with ~10% chance of any given tile being ruble.  It sounds fun, but in practice is actually gets really sloppy and poor to play.

[Fniff]

I liked it...

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   What if instead of all buildings having 10% per a tile instead you have 10% of the buildings having 10% of the tiles be rubble or some other percentage mixture.

[Angle]

I don't want the walls to be smashed, just the windows, doors, benches, counters, and lockers.

[Girlinhat]

That might be more reasonable, more like the way spider nests spawn.

I don't particularly agree with the rubble. Where did the rubble come from? What broke the walls? The Cataclysm hasn't been around for that long, and this isn't Fallout.
