Remember though, the best martial artist in the world has a tough time beating a someone competent in sawed-off shotgun.

On an open field, maybe. In a dark, close quarters environment, where you could be snuck up on, a Shaolin monk would be damn scary.

Except the chances that a Shaolin monk would want to kill you are pretty tiny. Still, though.

I have one weapon. Just one. A slightly-better-than-average immune system. Hopefully one day legendary.

Aslo, chances of people trying to fight back remain in the 90% area, and one person will probably do at least a bit of damage in an attack, so unless the zombies have unnatural healing powers, a lot more people will survive than you seem to expect. A city may have 20% infected each day, and over 10% of the zombies would be killed each day as well. Equilibrium in a steadily decreasing population of zombies and peoples.
*note: all numbers are purely fictional.

Edit, actually, that would make a great game: zombie RTS where you have to infect the whole city but the people fight back fiercely.

Then your statistic is fictional. Numbers mean numbers. Either get 'em, or ditch 'em.

They made that. I'll find out what it was called.

A zombie RTS would be great! You could have civilians, and depending on which faction reaches them, they could be allies or enemies.

...Stubbs the zombie:A rebel without a pulse?

Kinda a comedy, 50's, satire with robots, and future stuff. But its still bloody and gorey, and stuff.

And then therse L4D. But that doesn't include more then four people and some fasties and a few specials.

But don't worry, they should get it right at somepoint. Maybe.

I don't think it was Stubbs. I read about it a while ago. I think it was in development when I read about it, though, so maybe it was some very preliminary version of it or something.

Was it that Half Life mod? Or the MMO that will surely never come out? No that latter will be an RPG...

Not sure if I heard of an RTS, and Stubbs wasn't entirely an RTS, though you could control a bit of an zombie horde.

I can't think of a real studio making a zombie RTS. And they would insist that you NOT be the zombies, and make you have to fight them at any rate. Which might as well have been done before.

But what exactly constitutes a "horde" per se.

I'd say, atleast 30-40 zombies, though that might be a mob, seeing as how its really an opinion. And the type of zombies matter to.

You might think it should be a few hundred. I'd say a horde would be around a few dozen.

Its up for debate for sure.

I think 15-20 is a mob and 50-100 is a horde.
