Perhaps add a new item 'holy water' just for flavor, would naturally be not much different from ordinary water perhaps boost morale a bit more, somehow idk. Main thing is to make sure all those new building have some loot and/or a reason to visit beyond sightseeing.

This. And I want to be able to coat me weapons with it, or throw it at things!
(It doesn't actually DO anything, of course!)

The wine is a pretty good idea too, but I was under the impression the churches would mostly be nice for all that big strong furniture!

Basements are your friend. Also, the halls between the sewer and subway.

Follow the roads. All cities are connected with roads.

Also, find a house at the city border. (Or if you manage to get an ID card, find a lab, those make awesome safehouses.)

After that, get a shovel and dig a trench around the house, leaving one tile open at the door.
Barricade the windows with the hammer, stock it with guns. Make sure all guns are loaded.

Then, if there's a massive attack, grab as many guns as you can hold and shoot them off. Don't bother with reloading, just drop the gun and use a different one once it's empty.

After that, you're pretty much set. Raid ant nests for eggs, they make great food supply.

Clothing stores. Sport stores perhaps.
Also, no, not really. Get some more points and get fleet footed. That's much better. Try taking schizophrenia. It's a fun disadvantage, if you can handle the hallucinations.

That's wierd, wolves shouldn't even be in cities.

Grab a shotgun from an nearby gun store. It should murder anything close enough.

If you're out in the open, you're going to die. Stick to the shadows.

Wolves would definitely enter a town if its abandoned, especially so in-game if you walked through fields and they followed you.

Yeah, you can smash a window. You can then open and unlock the door from the inside.

And you can't fill it back in. You could have a window as your alternate entrance, just make sure you wear gloves or you'll get cut.
