Sounds a bit like a realtime version of "Rebuild" 1 and 2.
Exactly my thoughts.

I've heard of rebuild but haven't played it. Any good?

That's an atrocity beyond measure :) creepy sounding. So how do you kill them? Throw sticks o' dynamite in the river?

Same way you kill everything in Dwarf Fortress: With your bare hands.

No battle axes or war hammers? Who are these dwarves?!? Are they friends with snow white? Dwarves gots t' have weaponzes or they lose because of the vertically challenged nature of their person.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

Not at all :) simply commenting on the need of hardware to kill crazed bottom feeders.

One question: Will you be able to play as the zombies?  ;)

actually, that's what I expected when I read "zombie rts." Controlling squads of zombies, attempting to grow the horde as large as possible would be absolutely awesome, but probably as it's own separate game.

Dwarves passing by get good thoughts from the mist of water and exploding felines.
Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).

Hopefully this won't come as too big of a disappointment but the game is an RTS based in a post zombie apocalypse world. Controlling zombies would make a neat game and maybe we'll throw that in some demo or special game mode.

I was hoping for a multiplayer zombie vs humans mode, where some players play human towns, and others could control the zombies.

You should throw it in as a joke. You can give the zombies orders but they never follow them. How did you expect to control mindless zombies?

Sounds like fun. If we do it I would want to make sure it's balanced and since it really would require different mechanics we would probably just do a small scale multi-player add-on. And yes we'll have to come up with some way to control these mindless cannibals.

Thanks for the feedback :)
