Hitler

Why does everyone have this obsession with cloning Hitler anyway? It's not like he had the "genocide gene" or something. That would be dumb.
Though I reckon Hitler-clone could probably live a life if he took care of his presentation. Keep somewhat messy hair, clean shaven or a beard, maybe make-up, don't stab people in the face... the usual stuff you do to hide your identity.

Don't have a hitler stache. Really, I'm not sure your average person would ever recognize him without it anymore.

Does anyone else think he looks a wee bit like Stephen Fry?

I wonder what stacheless Stalin looks like.

If only Stalin 'Stache counts, like this:

The moral of the story is that changing your hair and accessories can do wonders for making you look different.

I still cant get into cataclysm, mostly because I find the early game (the only part of the game I am able to play) to be impossible to survive, even following guides.

Run and hit mobs over broken windows, they say. Still get my face eaten the next turn. (And no, these arnt special mobs either)

You could just give yourself more starting points to compensate. I usually start with 10 or 12 in place of the usual 6, but you can give yourself more if you want to.

Eh, I had already given myself 11 (2 added in, then 3 from taking a detoothed 'forgetful' trait)

You know, I was expecting that to be a photoshop of Stalin's moistache, just floating in the air without him.

You are not alone.

The game is hard, really the only way to get decent at it is to die a whole lot and figure out what works.

What I found out that works: Pick SWAT officer for starting profession. Self-defense class for Krav Maga. If you can min-max hard enough to get quick and maybe psychopath, you can get in one or two hits and back away a tile before the zombie in question can hit you. If you see a shocker or any kind of brute, take your pistol or smg and kill them with it. Make sure to place the pistol in the shoulder hoster, and the smg in the strap to save space. I usually drop the flashbang outright as well to save on space.

Holy crap ninjas.

Are you trying to kill them all at once? Ideally this is my idiot-proof strategy:
1) Get close enough until only 1, maybe two zombies notice you.
2) Retreat to some bushes.
3) Get zombie to step on bush, hit it exactly 1 time.
4) Retreat to another bush.
5) Repeat steps 3-4 until zombies are dead.
6) Butcher zombie corpses.
7) Repeat steps 1-6 until all zombies in the area are dead.
Loot!

Only things it doesn't work on are dogs and a few other special zombies that are faster than you or have ranged attacks. Other than that you can feel free to continue the loop until you've totally cleared out an area. Ideally once you get a shovel you can replace the bushes with deep pits, since those let you get in like 2 hits each time and do a little damage themselves.

If you have matches or a lighter you can set bushes on fire, kills of zombies in it really quick.
