Before you even say: FAILED, I just wanted a curious opinion.
I.O has had a few failed zombie exploits on my behalf and there's always been a mixed reaction about these games too, but I was wondering and perhaps it's just that time of year again, what do you guys think and feel about a small zombie mini-series?
This will be entirely different to the failed zombie campaign thingy I first tried on I.O (that included Erik's character, Andrew Ryan) and it will be nothing like the failed mini-game in the general chat area either...
In all seriousness, it will just be a few small battles (perhaps one for trial purposes to start with) consisting of ordinary an ordinary battle setup, to a degree obviously.
Anyone could participate in this battle, so whether you're Allied or Axis, work together tactics and you'll face a sizable horde of undead on a small map and the main goal is to survive for as long as possible or possibly escape by completing objectives around the map.
This could be considered a "mini-game", but with more detail and all the role play basics apply. So you can use your weaponry, bring some NPC units and I'll even outline how many hordes you face and the numbers within those hordes for better tactic planning.
Again, it's a punt in the dark and that time of the year again, but do you guys think about the idea? Would you take part? Think of it as a set of mini-battles to keep entertained with on the side. ~Danny

Well if anyone's interested, let me know. These will simply be a mini-series to keep you folks entertained, plus with the Italian campaign on the horizon, you'll have something else to contend with during the quiet periods. ~Danny

I'd definately be down to do it, but would prefer to get my characters back in order first. I'll have a more definate answer soon (hopefully..schools going to be a bugger this year...)
Yeah that's cool, nice to know you're interested though, I know Adam is another person who wants to take part in one of these battles/events. I'm just keeping this thread bumped, because I don't want a ton of people turning around at the last minute when I do host some of these mini-battles for people who do wish to take part and moan that they would have liked to have taken part when it's too late.
But excellent though, just let me know if you're definitely willing to take part. You won't be risking any units or your characters: if they die in these mini-battles, then that's fine, it's just game-over for that battle.
So nothing serious. They'll also be shoebox-sized maps, so nothing grand neither. ~Danny

I could probably combine yourself and Adam into one of these zombie battles. I know Adam has a Axis character, but I'm not sure whether he'll be wanting to use his Axis character or not, so do you have an Allied character just for keepsake? Assuming he wanted to use one of his Allied characters.
You'll have to discuss this with Adam, but I could easily put the both of you into one of these battles together, against some zombies. I'm still drafting the horde system up, but I have a map prepared and I can reveal it will take place in a small "POW" camp. Nothing large.
The horde system right now will be something like: - 1st Round: "Neutral Posts" (Total = 0 Zombies) - 2nd Round: +5 Zombies (Total = 5 Zombies) - 3rd Round: +5 Zombies (Total = 10 Zombies)
--- If you get this far, then there will be a boss ---
- 10th Round: The Big Boss!
This is a small map remember, so the zombie numbers may seem small-ish, but the map will become flooded fast and if you fail to eradicate enough zombies per round, then you'll become outnumbered very fast. So hiding away round after round, will only mean more and more enemies at one time.
Each round occurs when both yourself and Adam have posted in the thread. A moderation post will be made after each post made, but once you've both posted, then it's considered a new round and a fresh horde of zombies will enter. Following?
I'll write all these rules and the horde system up properly when I host the thread. ~Danny

I do have an Allied character, yes.
Couple of questions. I'm gonna assume you'll post this in the rules and such, but do we start off with our weapons or do we find them? Are there "bonuses" (like killstreaks or w.e you wanna call them, etc)?

Whatever weaponry you currently own, is what you will be using for these mini-battles. By all means, ask questions if you're unsure, but I'll write up a brief rundown of the rules for you guys.
To be honest, treat it like a normal battle, there's no fancy killstreaks or hidden gems in these games. I tried making these zombie events all fancy before and it just fell flat on it's face. So it will have the normal battle setup, but with some campaign bonuses, like:
- Your character won't die on the forum if he/she dies in one of these zombie battles. - Your NPC units won't die on the forum if they take part in one of these zombie battles.
And such forth.
Sign me up? I have a few characters avaliable, I won't add D'Dario though just yet... I don't think he'll survive Chaos.
Let me know whether you're willing to use Allied or Axis; or either if you're not bothered.
The current list is as follows: - Erik/Jonas (VIP // AXIS) ~ I'm giving Erik first dibs on one of these battles, because I owe him for the failure of a previous zombie thread...
- Adam (What you using, Axis or Allied?) - Wilhelm (ALLIED or AXIS) - Seejay (ALLIED or AXIS)

If we have four people active and ready to participate in this zombie battle, then I'm going to split you guys into two groups and you'll have a battle each. Both will be using the exact same map and all the same rules will apply, difference is, there will be "two versions" of this battle going on at once.
The only difference you will notice, is the position of the zombies during each wave. Otherwise you guys may cheat a little knowing the exact whereabouts of each zombie wave and how many are coming from each direction and so forth - if one battle is further progressed than the other.
Understood? Here's the teams then.
TEAM A:[/B] Adam and Wilhelm.
TEAM B:[/b] Seejay and Erik.
You guys just need to negotiate what side you want to fight for, being ALLIED or AXIS and report back as soon as possible. Once that's cleared, you guys just need to lastly decide on the following units to bring:
Normal Units:[/b] 10 (Privates and Corporals) Special Units:[/b] 4 (Sergeants and Special Units)
You guys may pick from any units you currently own to make it more grounded. You will not lose these units, but if I gave you ladies free reign over any unit to bring, it could make the human side of this war a little overpowered. If you own it, you can bring it and like I said, there's no penalties of death in these battles.
Just report back as soon as you have what units you're bringing and the side you're fighting for. ~Danny
