Okay so far the Human Fortress of Swordwrath has been very strange, the first migrant wave I got 3 migrants, the second wave I got about 6 I believe then the third I received a whopping 20+!!!

So to cut to the chase I have a lot of souls in my fortress and I am not use to such a large population so early in the game. I am currently playing the

CORROSION MOD which is mainly focused around zombies and bandit groups it is modern day meaning there are indeed GUNS now pretty much here is some info.


1. My main threat is infected if bitten my populace can also turn into the infected, they are slightly weaker than in vanilla and they can be killed by decapitation etc.
2. I have access to literally every metal and enough coke to last me 50+ years


THE QUESTION

Should I train my soldiers in mainly marksmen or footmen? Are marksmen enough to take out undead or should I make my main defensive a group of machete wielding butchers?

Please tell me the pros and cons of marksmen etc.

[choppy]

you should put this in the mod board.

[Vagabond.]

you should put this in the mod board.

However, the primary issue is not with the mod itself, but with the military, and how to handle it. He simply, for some unforseen reason, bolded the corrosion mod.

What the guy above me said

And I said it was corrosion mod so I could tell people with what I am going up against

[itg]

Well, the answer depends on how soldiers work in the mod. Thus, it should go in the mod board.

I have to support those saying this should go in a mod board. The question your asking is about the effectiveness of melee vs ranged in the mod. If it were about general military questions, such as organization and set up, then it would be approptiate here. Unforetunately, I don't know anything about the corrosion mod, so I can't help.

My guess would be that ranged weapons would at least be safer, with melee weapons probably being more effective but more risky. But that might not be the case.

However, you should be commended on noting that you are using a mod. Its quite common to get masterwork questions where the author never tells anyone its masterwork, which can be frustrating as we assume vanillia unless specified. To that regards, thank you for being very upfront. But I can't help with any details of the corrosion mod.
