Once upon a time there lived an unrivaled warrior, a famous consummate military master. One day he decided to go to Two Towers where the sage old man lived, the wisest person in the world. When the warrior found the wise man he saw him playing and having fun as would a young boy. The warrior asks of him, "Why do you waste your valuable time in such a manner elder?" The wise man replied to him, "The one who makes time only for work, and naught for rest and pleasure, will soon find he has no passion left for his work. No matter how we live, or what we do, we must find the time for our rest and fun". The warrior thinks a moment before replying, "Well, I think the time for Free Online Flash Games has come!"

Oh I do love this game!!
DrainoChild: Yes, I've scored higher than that. My latest score was about 1.1 million.
Is there a high score list? I clicked on "send score" but don't know where to find the list to compare to.
The survivors = days test doesn't apply on harder. I just beat it (all victories) in 177 days and at day 60 I had just over 30 people. It was a close call but I completed the antivenom research and then I had the upper hand.
I have beaten it on the toughest mode with 12x12 map probably 15 times now (with all 4 wins on each game) --- but I can't seem to get over 700k for score. I think my top game had 155 survivors. Anyone have a higher score than that?
lets see endings.
good
1. make a new consiuion
2.cure zombie virus.
3. take all land back in the city.
4. destroy the zombie portal.
bad/ losing
5. get all your territory taken.
6. make your people angery enough for them to put you out off office/ kill you
I played a lot of normal games because of the same reasons you mentioned. Couldn't get anything going at hard level. Then I ran across feedback from a nightmare player. He said if your number of survivors don't match up close to the number of days, then you might as well quit and start a new game. I hadn't even thought of just giving up, but it is good advice. Some of the layouts aren't winnable. At least for me. Have to have food and shelter for more survivors. Hard is becoming pretty easy, and am almost ready to try harder level Good luck! Fantastic game. Hoping for part 2 soon.
Maybe I'm just not very good or something, but hard setting seems impossible. Random events are very harsh and the hordes come way too fast before you can get enough defense going. Am I the only one?

i never play flash game, but this one, i played all day until i finished all three ending :)
I highly reccomand, and really wish there will be a Rebuild 2 game, Also created for working over Xbox live as independent game? So many people would buy it. Keep up the exellent work on such amazing content.
Ever try War Online -- http://waronline.net/home.asp. Unfortunately, not a solitaire version, other than the easy training game. Imperium was fun for a while -- http://www.gamefudge.com/Imperium.
I still think schools are pretty damn important, and the sooner the better so you can begin converting mostly useless scavengers and survivors into soldiers. Hospitals and labs you only need one each of, and then the rest can be ignored. Squares that need converting are low priority, and graveyards are the lowest of all. Attack these only if you need them as a stepping stone to something better, or you've got the extra guys and are trying to thin out the Zs in your immediate proximity.
For starting position, you absolutely need one adjacent housing building with 0-2 people in it, otherwise you won't have room to recruit the people you need. Check any new adjacent squares because sometimes they're clear without needing to be attacked, but scout them before reclaiming to check for survivors. If there are survivors in a cleared square, but you don't have room for them, begin a reclaim mission and cancel it before it finishes so you don't lose the survivors. This will keep the Zs from moving back into it until you have room at the fort to recruit them. If your only leader dies and you're not in possession of a school, you might as well quit. Recruitment missions not led by leaders rarely succeed, and your numbers will quickly dwindle without regular recruitment, and your defenses won't hold as the zombie population builds.
Don't scout too much until you've got binoculars. If a horde is on it's way, begin recruitment missions at the places with the most survivors to get them back at the fort before the attack. It doesn't matter what class you get, the point is every body in your fort is at least another 5 to your defense.
Lastly, a good measure of how you're doing is how your population is keeping up with the number of days past. Equal is good, and the greater the difference means you're doing well or poorly. If you're at day 60 with a population of under 40, you may as well restart.
Man, I love this game. Any good recs for something similar? I also love the classic Age of Empires.
Malls aren't good early on, because they increase your exposure to surrounding zombies too quickly. I generally don't need a school until mid-game. I always go for a lab and binoculars as quickly as possible, because it increases the number of survivors you find. I prefer using scavengers for scouting, because the untrained can convert whenever they're on a successful mission. It's how I get most of my builders early on. So far, my quickest nightmare game is 118 turns for all 4 endings. But they are tough, and do require a good starting setup with lots of farms and survivors to recruit.
I've won multiple times on Nightmare mode (though I have not yet been able to get all of the squares) so it is hard but possible. Here's my list of strategy and tips you might find helpful:
Starting strategy:
Step 1: Take the soldier out of the guard house. You don't need a guard for the first 20+ turns. Once your danger level is 25-30 then move a soldier in there. If you don't have a school immediately available, you can put a non-classed survivor in the guard post and it will most often turn him into a soldier over time. I prefer to use the extra man as a scout, however. Scouting as much as you can as early as you can is really important. Not only so you can plan out your expansion, but so that you can find survivors to recruit.
Next step: Secure farms. This should be the first thing you go for. Hopefully you have a farm or two adjacent to your starting fort. If you don't, you'll need to keep an eye on your food reserves and scavenge. Scavanging is non-ideal, however. If you don't have enough farms within 2 or 3 rings of your original fort, you might as well start over. In nightmare mode, you won't last long without farms.
Step 3: Tertiary buildings to reclaim in order of their importance: School, Lab, Hospital, Police Station, Mall/Wallmart, Apartment/Trailer Park/Suburb. Housing may appear anywhere on the list depending on your farm situation. If you have a surplus of food, then housing comes first. Remember: to win you must have a very large population!
Why a school? Because you must train soldiers. You should never have scavengers or non-classed survivors. You don't need more than 3 scientists, especially early in the game. And you probably don't need more than 6 builders at any point unless you have the luxury to have more. You may need more than 1 leader in mid game when you're really trying to recruit a lot, but early on you should convert extra leaders to soldiers.
Why a lab? Antivenom. Forget the other two tracks. They're nice, but unnecessary. The sooner you can start researching the zombie vital track, the faster you'll get to antivenom.
Why a hospital? This is obvious. You may want to go for a hospital first, and that's not a bad choice. But you can often go a while without suffering any casualties due to sickness. It's up to you if you want to roll the dice on that or not.
Why a police station? Defense bonus without needing to build defense!. Mall/Wallmart are nice for defense bonus too, but it can be sometimes hard to get those barricades up if in early game.
Church/Bar: Happiness is important, but it's not the most important thing. You can get by for a long time with low happiness. Protip: Churches that are adjacent to your starting spot can be reclaimed without having to kill zombies first.
In general: The overall goal should be to expand to farms and recruit as much as you can! You need a ton of soldiers to win. Keep an eye on the prize.
Hope this helps.

There are 4 different ways to win -- Cure Zombieism, draft the constitution, destroy the evil portal, take over all squares. These days, I usually quit before I even get one of those. Once you start initiating 3-4 attack missions on the same turn the zombie horde is attacking, the game is pretty much over and there's no challenge left.
Great game! Once in a while, I can click Save Score and instead of Score Sent (or whatever), Save Score keeps popping up in an endless repetition.And, this may be a trick of the game I haven't figured out yet, but why does the MVP change? My original MVP is still alive and well and doing his/her job. And yes, the seemingly random Fort Over Run on a 2% or 3% is infuriating, but maybe it is just imitating the vagaries of life and there is no certainty. Still can't win Hard level, not even once! Some of the Normal are easy, but some are normally Hard. Will keep working on strategy. What works great for Normal, does not work for Hard, at least for me. Don't want to think about Nightmare.
Freakin LOVE this game. It's very difficult to find a zombie game that actually focuses on managing a fortress, and I like the difficulty, although, sometimes your screwed from the start on hader and nightmare cause of the beggining layout, but all and all geat game!!
Its Very Easy when you put it on easy Mode <D i wish i Can Train People On my CityTo Be A Scavenger and why cant i replace the gravyard And my happiness is High On at First I was Worried about starvation but at the end i got billions of food.
poaceaejumper - I sometimes don't have a school until very late in the game. Survivors can turn into soldiers when used to guard the fort and into builders when used to reclaim or convert. I just use the scavengers in my scouting missions, so I'm not as upset when they die when I have a number of them. Another strategy I use is to capture territory (usually a 4 or 5-square width) until I hit a board edge. This limits exposure to "surrounding zombies".
incarnazione - it's a micromanagement game, so regardless of what you're doing in the game, you're really just clicking and assigning people to different tasks. The more difficult the setting, the more you have to be very precise with who you assign where. But at a certain point you have people to spare, and you realize you can do things with the system that aren't required for winning. I wouldn't say it was fun, but it also didn't take me that long, and I just wanted to see if I could do it. Now that I have, I doubt I will again.
rharmelink - I find it's pretty essential to have a school in site as well, more so than a lab. You need to train your survivors and scavengers to be soldiers to have the best chance.
FDFlash. yes, you need a good starting position. You have to recruit every mf'er you can.
You have to be agressive, and you have to take calculated risks.
and you have to have many hours to do it.
good luck!
FDFlash -- They key for me is a good starting position. Food and people. If you start in a 2x2 area surrounded by forests and similar parcels that need to be converted before they are of use, you'll find it very hard going. Also, hospital and laboratory should be visible. This is one of the reasons I complained about maps earlier -- there should be standard AND random maps for each difficulty level.
rharmelink, Thanks very much for your help w/score question. The problem was/is I would submit a higher score but would be told to try again later (or similar wording), but don't know how to re-submit. I've been playing and successfully submitting scores on another site lately. Sometimes, there is still a problem, though. It may be that my old pc is hanging up.And thanks for your tips on strategies. They have added new dimensions to the game and my scores have increased 10x+. ! I may even try to go beyond Normal again.
There's a couple of exploits: one is that you can infinitely throw parties at churchs and bars, and that;s where the million+ scores come from. There's another where you can have multiple scientists at multiple labs do the cure Zombiism mission if you assign them all at the same time, and each one counts for an ending, that's how I got 23 (each worth 10k points). You also get points for the zombies you kill, so as long as you don't cure zombiism and never reclaim at least one square, you can keep killing the Zs in there forever.
What do you mean by 'exploiting' anything?
I have reached 690,000 playing nightmare 12X12, and I try to keep happiness up, and keep characters alive. I usually finish in about 140 days, 4 endings.
Are there more?
Please explain!
It takes a bit of skill to even realize you can exploit something that's part of the game and properly use it, and then after that, yes, it's just about patience. But my top score I was also playing on Nightmare setting, so it's not like I'm not still kicking the games ass. You could neuter it by limiting happiness to say 100%, but I can still think of ways to exploit some of the game mechanics, it'd just take longer. What they should do is have huge rewards for ending the game quickly, which tapers down to huge penalties for taking too long. Right now I'm playing without defending my fort at all for more of a challenge, and I've already beat it on Hard that way.
The high scores are bogus--they reward an exploit. If I hadn't goofed the count by one I would have submitted a score of nearly 1.4 million. It just takes patience, not superior gameplay.
For me, the biggest issue with the game is the inconsistency of maps. There should be a "standard" and "random" map for each difficulty level, with only the "standard" map going to high scores. And, actually, I think # of turns for 4 endings would be better than the current scoring method. The scoring fails for prolonged games -- it should penalize points at an exponential rate as the game gets longer. That is, anything over 200 turns or so should be an automatic negative score.
The little updates are really annoying. If I want to fly through a couple days, I have to click back and forth between done and end day. Please change!
5 endings is a bug. If you have enough scientists you can research Cure Zombieism at multiple labs at the same time. You get credit for the ending from each lab.
I have 5 endings. is this good or a bug?!?
I played normal mode 10x10.
I have a screenshot for proof but im not sure if its a bug or there are really 5 endings.
alrighty then!
my wrist kinda hurts from all the clicking. ):
here's a simple suggestion: if possible, implement some kind of selection mechanic that enables you to assign multiple survivors to a mission without having to click every single one of them (eg. send all // shift-click first and last one to send, automatically select all those inbetween). it would make abusing zombie hunts for massive high scores so much less aggravating. as it stands now, it's basically menial labor.
not an essential update, but would make the late game on hardest/nightmare difficulties much more enjoyable.
i really liked this game otherwise (obviously ;D).
good luck everyone playing on nightmare, that's basically the only thing that counts there (once you understand the basics of course).
cheers (:
great game ..
i played this game for 3 weeks and still i'm not bored ..
the tactics here are ..
train all survivors that have no specialization into a soldier and when you reach day 100 + you should have at least 20 people that is always in patrol and always balance farms and apartments ..
and change all suburbs to farms and change all gas stations into apartments ..
it's the best way to survive :)
have fun playing :D
Loren -- I agree. The first task I do every turn is free up everyone on defense. And the last task I do every turn is assign anyone available to defense. Both tasks should be automatic. And I do like the idea of having the "defense percentage" status being shown as I assign people to missions. The other change I would make is to have the "daily update" notices not cover up the top line indicating the current status of numbers of people and amount of food.
Given a reasonable start (if it isn't I immediately start over) hard isn't hard--I beat it nearly 100% of the time, scores around 500k. I just did it in 157 days to all 4 victories.
Harder, though--I beat it the first time I tried it (on an older version, though) and I haven't managed to beat it since.
How it could be improved:
1) Everyone in town should fight, there should be no need to assign them to defense. This would also mean that people who finished a mission that turn would be available for defense.
2) While assigning a mission it should tell you the threat to the fort, updated as you assign people to do something else.
3) It feels wrong that the zombies in a square can attack your fort while you are engaged in a kill zombies mission in that square--at a minimum the soldiers involved should participate in the defense of the fort. (They're there killing zombies--they're going to ignore the opportunity to shoot zombies in the back?!?!)
4) An easier way to assign larger groups of soldiers.
Nice job rharmelink!
I'm going to try to beat that now. I think the problem I had is that I did not have enough builders at the beginning to keep annexing squares - i had to use soldiers which take more time, etc. Well here goes...
BoyWander -- Just tried an easy game: 79 turns for all 4 endings. With some luck, I suspect that could go down under 65 turns. In easy mode, there are rarely food, happiness, or zombie horde problems.
For upgrades to this game, I'd really recommend redoing the people selection screen. It really is a pain in the rear to click 5, scroll down, click 5, scroll down.
It would be really nice if there was just an area where you could type *** many you want to send, and a screen that tells you exactly who you have under your command - *** many soldiers, leaders, etc. It would be nice if this was displayed on the main screen, in a corner.
I've beaten this on Hard level twice now, last time in about 130 days to get all 4 endings. Main strategy is recruit recruit recruit - then go after farms and *** using early on in the game. Then mid-game go for *** spital, lab, school. Once you have about 30 soldiers to spare while keeping people in your police station to keep danger under 20%, then just hammer out block after block, keep 6-8 builders and reclaim blocks. On Hard, you need about 60-70 people to get all 4 endings.
Fun Zombie game, and addicting, of course! All difficulty will eventually be hard. At first, you will like "oh this game is EFFING easy". Then, "OMG THE ZOMBIE OUTNUBERED ME!!!"
@aldyngot who wanted a reply
Managed "Harder" difficulty now.
650423 Points
145 days to Final win (Portal closed, Constitution, cured zombiism and reclaimed all squares)
104 survivers
about 51 farms
289 sleeing places
this game is fantastic, but at higher difficulty its to much luck involved...its impossible to win, if you didn´t get the right buildings in front of you at the start.
if you will ever make a second part of this game, it would be much more fun if the player had more influence on the *** igned missions (if you *** ign a mission with 5% danger and it fails than its a real pain in the ***
I also was reset to turn 1 (on a Nightmare game that was going FAR better than I ever would have expected).
In FireFox, I find the game sometimes crashes my browser as it draws on more and more memory usage as the turns go by.
I just tried to continue my game and it did reset me from day 1... d@mn I was almost done...:(
So and advice from me - don't rely on saves - the might not work at all!
FINALLY beat nightmare mode!!!!!!!!!! A few tips are to find as many survivors as you can and have the food/happiness to sustain it. Scout and get survivors, build farms/apartments, train lots of soldiers, defend. *** rdes will start moving at you in waves every 3 to 5 turns. Try to keep survivability at around 30% at all times. Expand to malls/police stations, as they provide defense boosts.
The name of the game is defense.
spent a good couple *** urs playing this right out of the gates, never happens with most games, anymore, lost count of the number of *** urs since i first tried, great game
This game is awesome !! it's been a while since i enjoyed that much a flash game. 10/10
Need some improvments about :
- it's a bit too long
- the beginning (1/3) felt like difficulty is ok but then it becomes a bit easy and repetitive
- the view on zombie attacks is totally useless :) sorry
- maybe add some zoom in/out feature, which could be useful when the map becomes larger
- we should be able to train simultaneously the same number of people than number of schools
Congrats !! from france

Great game im rating it 10 stars
at first I found I starved cause I didnt manage my stuff that grat but later I started making loads of food and could survive with loads of people
Tip!: always try to keep at least 2 food production that way you gain 2 food per turn remember every person uses 1 food per day
though its kinda easy needs a little more death to it
Good game, about 10 *** urs spent on it in the last 2 days. Beat normal, tried harder twice unsuccessfully, then beat hard. I went on to win in all 3 different ways on hard and selected to keep playing, but now there is no way to end the game, so I don't know my score for that looooong game.

I enjoy the game (too much). I can win most of the time at Hard, but rarely at Harder.
If you can survive the first 60 turns or so, there's really no challenge for the rest of the game. I usually quit after beating down a few successive *** rdes easily.
Scavengers are pretty worthless after the initial food situation is handled.
It's fun to play while watching Dawn of the Dead or The Walking Dead. :)
Ok, I think I've narrowed down the issue. If you gain food, but the amount gained would exceed your limit, you lose. This includes farming - if you start at your 50 limit, and grow 4 food, then eat 10, you finish with 40 food, not 44. Same with scavenging - if the scavenging would take you over your limit, the extra isn't counted. I think the game would work better if the limit were not imposed until after all pluses and minuses were applied, with the exception of spoilage. Also, a message that tells you when you are losing stockpiled food due to hitting the cap would be welcome.
This game has a decent level of complexity and a lot of depth, but a good tutorial makes it really easy to get started!
I like the balance between random and non-random elements, which reward careful decision–making, but keeps things from getting stagnant.
I particularly appreciate the ability to keep playing even after you've achieved a win condition.
I love this game in so many ways I can't even explain I *** pe you make another one soon. Perhaps add vehicles and new buildings that would be great ^.^

@ eValerie: http://twotowersgames.com/games/rebuild-zombie/rating (high-score rank for twotowersgames.com) http://twotowersgames.com/games/rebuild-zombie/topscore (global high-score rank)
Oh I do love this game!! DrainoChild: Yes, I've scored higher than that. My latest score was about 1.1 million. Is there a high score list? I clicked on "send score" but don't know where to find the list to compare to.
Rebuild 2 version that allows full screen view: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/581493
FYI -- New version available on Kongregate: http://www.kongregate.com/games/sarahnorthway/rebuild-2
The survivors = days test doesn't apply on harder. I just beat it (all victories) in 177 days and at day 60 I had just over 30 people. It was a close call but I completed the antivenom research and then I had the upper hand.
I have beaten it on the toughest mode with 12x12 map probably 15 times now (with all 4 wins on each game) --- but I can't seem to get over 700k for score. I think my top game had 155 survivors. Anyone have a higher score than that?
i like this game:X:X: @JackBlackstone if you will want to save you must be loged in:D
This is just so good game i cant wait the Rebuild 2 :D
How do you save?
Best Game ever, i hope i can beat it on nightmare :D, maybe in near future will be a second to...:D, makes u replay it 100 times :D
lets see endings. good 1. make a new consiuion 2.cure zombie virus. 3. take all land back in the city. 4. destroy the zombie portal. bad/ losing 5. get all your territory taken. 6. make your people angery enough for them to put you out off office/ kill you
this game is awesoem... i get slughtered every time i move to hard though...
Fantastic game; I can't stop playing it...
I found "six" endings (yes it is possible)
I played a lot of normal games because of the same reasons you mentioned. Couldn't get anything going at hard level. Then I ran across feedback from a nightmare player. He said if your number of survivors don't match up close to the number of days, then you might as well quit and start a new game. I hadn't even thought of just giving up, but it is good advice. Some of the layouts aren't winnable. At least for me. Have to have food and shelter for more survivors. Hard is becoming pretty easy, and am almost ready to try harder level Good luck! Fantastic game. Hoping for part 2 soon.
Maybe I'm just not very good or something, but hard setting seems impossible. Random events are very harsh and the hordes come way too fast before you can get enough defense going. Am I the only one?
Loved it!
sorry, meant twotowersgames.com/games/rebuild-zombie/topscore

awsome game i play it every day
Where do they list the high scores? I can't seem to find where to click for them.

Great game
Ever try War Online -- http://waronline.net/home.asp. Unfortunately, not a solitaire version, other than the easy training game. Imperium was fun for a while -- http://www.gamefudge.com/Imperium.
I still think schools are pretty damn important, and the sooner the better so you can begin converting mostly useless scavengers and survivors into soldiers. Hospitals and labs you only need one each of, and then the rest can be ignored. Squares that need converting are low priority, and graveyards are the lowest of all. Attack these only if you need them as a stepping stone to something better, or you've got the extra guys and are trying to thin out the Zs in your immediate proximity. For starting position, you absolutely need one adjacent housing building with 0-2 people in it, otherwise you won't have room to recruit the people you need. Check any new adjacent squares because sometimes they're clear without needing to be attacked, but scout them before reclaiming to check for survivors. If there are survivors in a cleared square, but you don't have room for them, begin a reclaim mission and cancel it before it finishes so you don't lose the survivors. This will keep the Zs from moving back into it until you have room at the fort to recruit them. If your only leader dies and you're not in possession of a school, you might as well quit. Recruitment missions not led by leaders rarely succeed, and your numbers will quickly dwindle without regular recruitment, and your defenses won't hold as the zombie population builds. Don't scout too much until you've got binoculars. If a horde is on it's way, begin recruitment missions at the places with the most survivors to get them back at the fort before the attack. It doesn't matter what class you get, the point is every body in your fort is at least another 5 to your defense. Lastly, a good measure of how you're doing is how your population is keeping up with the number of days past. Equal is good, and the greater the difference means you're doing well or poorly. If you're at day 60 with a population of under 40, you may as well restart. Man, I love this game. Any good recs for something similar? I also love the classic Age of Empires.
hmm
Malls aren't good early on, because they increase your exposure to surrounding zombies too quickly. I generally don't need a school until mid-game. I always go for a lab and binoculars as quickly as possible, because it increases the number of survivors you find. I prefer using scavengers for scouting, because the untrained can convert whenever they're on a successful mission. It's how I get most of my builders early on. So far, my quickest nightmare game is 118 turns for all 4 endings. But they are tough, and do require a good starting setup with lots of farms and survivors to recruit.
I've won multiple times on Nightmare mode (though I have not yet been able to get all of the squares) so it is hard but possible. Here's my list of strategy and tips you might find helpful: Starting strategy: Step 1: Take the soldier out of the guard house. You don't need a guard for the first 20+ turns. Once your danger level is 25-30 then move a soldier in there. If you don't have a school immediately available, you can put a non-classed survivor in the guard post and it will most often turn him into a soldier over time. I prefer to use the extra man as a scout, however. Scouting as much as you can as early as you can is really important. Not only so you can plan out your expansion, but so that you can find survivors to recruit. Next step: Secure farms. This should be the first thing you go for. Hopefully you have a farm or two adjacent to your starting fort. If you don't, you'll need to keep an eye on your food reserves and scavenge. Scavanging is non-ideal, however. If you don't have enough farms within 2 or 3 rings of your original fort, you might as well start over. In nightmare mode, you won't last long without farms. Step 3: Tertiary buildings to reclaim in order of their importance: School, Lab, Hospital, Police Station, Mall/Wallmart, Apartment/Trailer Park/Suburb. Housing may appear anywhere on the list depending on your farm situation. If you have a surplus of food, then housing comes first. Remember: to win you must have a very large population! Why a school? Because you must train soldiers. You should never have scavengers or non-classed survivors. You don't need more than 3 scientists, especially early in the game. And you probably don't need more than 6 builders at any point unless you have the luxury to have more. You may need more than 1 leader in mid game when you're really trying to recruit a lot, but early on you should convert extra leaders to soldiers. Why a lab? Antivenom. Forget the other two tracks. They're nice, but unnecessary. The sooner you can start researching the zombie vital track, the faster you'll get to antivenom. Why a hospital? This is obvious. You may want to go for a hospital first, and that's not a bad choice. But you can often go a while without suffering any casualties due to sickness. It's up to you if you want to roll the dice on that or not. Why a police station? Defense bonus without needing to build defense!. Mall/Wallmart are nice for defense bonus too, but it can be sometimes hard to get those barricades up if in early game. Church/Bar: Happiness is important, but it's not the most important thing. You can get by for a long time with low happiness. Protip: Churches that are adjacent to your starting spot can be reclaimed without having to kill zombies first. In general: The overall goal should be to expand to farms and recruit as much as you can! You need a ton of soldiers to win. Keep an eye on the prize. Hope this helps. -Juice
There are 4 different ways to win -- Cure Zombieism, draft the constitution, destroy the evil portal, take over all squares. These days, I usually quit before I even get one of those. Once you start initiating 3-4 attack missions on the same turn the zombie horde is attacking, the game is pretty much over and there's no challenge left.
how many ways to win are there ? i think i screwed it up
harder is just imposible... I did my best and still got crushed by fukin zombies...I love the game tho... 9/10
Great game! Once in a while, I can click Save Score and instead of Score Sent (or whatever), Save Score keeps popping up in an endless repetition.And, this may be a trick of the game I haven't figured out yet, but why does the MVP change? My original MVP is still alive and well and doing his/her job. And yes, the seemingly random Fort Over Run on a 2% or 3% is infuriating, but maybe it is just imitating the vagaries of life and there is no certainty. Still can't win Hard level, not even once! Some of the Normal are easy, but some are normally Hard. Will keep working on strategy. What works great for Normal, does not work for Hard, at least for me. Don't want to think about Nightmare.
i mean 4
My favourite game. But... hard.... Fav game [ 7 Stars ] Abit Hard [ - 3 Stars ] Total: 5
Freakin LOVE this game. It's very difficult to find a zombie game that actually focuses on managing a fortress, and I like the difficulty, although, sometimes your screwed from the start on hader and nightmare cause of the beggining layout, but all and all geat game!!
This is a great game. I'm not one to give max stars freely so I deducted 1 for the text which gets very repetitive about 25% into the game.
Its Very Easy when you put it on easy Mode <D i wish i Can Train People On my CityTo Be A Scavenger and why cant i replace the gravyard And my happiness is High On at First I was Worried about starvation but at the end i got billions of food.
This is a intetesting game, the idea is original maybe like to city ville but with zombiesss, very cool 10/10, I like it :D
I like this game a lot. It's very detailed and the writing is fun. Thanks for making it.
it is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cool
And then the very next game I start has 5 schools in sight on turn #1. *sigh*
poaceaejumper - I sometimes don't have a school until very late in the game. Survivors can turn into soldiers when used to guard the fort and into builders when used to reclaim or convert. I just use the scavengers in my scouting missions, so I'm not as upset when they die when I have a number of them. Another strategy I use is to capture territory (usually a 4 or 5-square width) until I hit a board edge. This limits exposure to "surrounding zombies".
incarnazione - it's a micromanagement game, so regardless of what you're doing in the game, you're really just clicking and assigning people to different tasks. The more difficult the setting, the more you have to be very precise with who you assign where. But at a certain point you have people to spare, and you realize you can do things with the system that aren't required for winning. I wouldn't say it was fun, but it also didn't take me that long, and I just wanted to see if I could do it. Now that I have, I doubt I will again. rharmelink - I find it's pretty essential to have a school in site as well, more so than a lab. You need to train your survivors and scavengers to be soldiers to have the best chance.
OK, got it on first try (with the right start). Recruit, recruit, recruit, happiness and food be damned, if only temporarily. Thanks for the pointers.
very good
FDFlash. yes, you need a good starting position. You have to recruit every mf'er you can. You have to be agressive, and you have to take calculated risks. and you have to have many hours to do it. good luck!
poaceaejumper, Thanks so much for the clarification. My questions is, what the hell is fun about that?
FDFlash -- They key for me is a good starting position. Food and people. If you start in a 2x2 area surrounded by forests and similar parcels that need to be converted before they are of use, you'll find it very hard going. Also, hospital and laboratory should be visible. This is one of the reasons I complained about maps earlier -- there should be standard AND random maps for each difficulty level.
How the HELL do you beat Harder??? What are the key steps. I win Hard every time but harder kicks my ass!
rharmelink, Thanks very much for your help w/score question. The problem was/is I would submit a higher score but would be told to try again later (or similar wording), but don't know how to re-submit. I've been playing and successfully submitting scores on another site lately. Sometimes, there is still a problem, though. It may be that my old pc is hanging up.And thanks for your tips on strategies. They have added new dimensions to the game and my scores have increased 10x+. ! I may even try to go beyond Normal again.
There's a couple of exploits: one is that you can infinitely throw parties at churchs and bars, and that;s where the million+ scores come from. There's another where you can have multiple scientists at multiple labs do the cure Zombiism mission if you assign them all at the same time, and each one counts for an ending, that's how I got 23 (each worth 10k points). You also get points for the zombies you kill, so as long as you don't cure zombiism and never reclaim at least one square, you can keep killing the Zs in there forever.
What do you mean by 'exploiting' anything? I have reached 690,000 playing nightmare 12X12, and I try to keep happiness up, and keep characters alive. I usually finish in about 140 days, 4 endings. Are there more? Please explain!
And I've gotten to 800,000 without exploiting anything.
It takes a bit of skill to even realize you can exploit something that's part of the game and properly use it, and then after that, yes, it's just about patience. But my top score I was also playing on Nightmare setting, so it's not like I'm not still kicking the games ass. You could neuter it by limiting happiness to say 100%, but I can still think of ways to exploit some of the game mechanics, it'd just take longer. What they should do is have huge rewards for ending the game quickly, which tapers down to huge penalties for taking too long. Right now I'm playing without defending my fort at all for more of a challenge, and I've already beat it on Hard that way.
The high scores are bogus--they reward an exploit. If I hadn't goofed the count by one I would have submitted a score of nearly 1.4 million. It just takes patience, not superior gameplay.
Cool, I found all 23 endings.
For me, the biggest issue with the game is the inconsistency of maps. There should be a "standard" and "random" map for each difficulty level, with only the "standard" map going to high scores. And, actually, I think # of turns for 4 endings would be better than the current scoring method. The scoring fails for prolonged games -- it should penalize points at an exponential rate as the game gets longer. That is, anything over 200 turns or so should be an automatic negative score.
It spels my name,murdering children is m game.
and it is actualy the way i got to this gaming site
i played this before at Likwid games
The little updates are really annoying. If I want to fly through a couple days, I have to click back and forth between done and end day. Please change!
Welp, I broke that game.
I dont understand this the game stays at 16 % loaded..
plethora1 -- I believe only your highest score shows up on the list. So you only need to submit a score if you've beat your previous high score.
Scores are submitted, but rarely show up. Anyone else having this problem?
=p lol take a leak behind a building damn fool really got what he thought was gone.
there should be ages of people and for every 9 months 50% of 10-40 year old popuation should add to 1 year olds
Finally beat it in under 70 - got it down to 68 turns on Easy for all 4 endings
Finally beat easy in under 80 turns, got down to 79. Gonna have to have a good starting position to get less than 70.
Take a leak behind a Building?? Darn fool! ;))
easy
i have at the "5" ending save "San Francisco" as default cityname ;)))
Qiane - when you reach day 100, you should probably have at least 50-60 people, not 20...20 people wont get you past day 30 on Hard or Harder
City Default name = Kamloops. L o L
Thank you for answering so fast and kindly!
5 endings is a bug. If you have enough scientists you can research Cure Zombieism at multiple labs at the same time. You get credit for the ending from each lab.
I have 5 endings. is this good or a bug?!? I played normal mode 10x10. I have a screenshot for proof but im not sure if its a bug or there are really 5 endings.
102 days w00t
i put in all that effort to break my post up into nice paragraphs and it gets posted as a single big wall of text ):
alrighty then! my wrist kinda hurts from all the clicking. ): here's a simple suggestion: if possible, implement some kind of selection mechanic that enables you to assign multiple survivors to a mission without having to click every single one of them (eg. send all // shift-click first and last one to send, automatically select all those inbetween). it would make abusing zombie hunts for massive high scores so much less aggravating. as it stands now, it's basically menial labor. not an essential update, but would make the late game on hardest/nightmare difficulties much more enjoyable. i really liked this game otherwise (obviously ;D). good luck everyone playing on nightmare, that's basically the only thing that counts there (once you understand the basics of course). cheers (:
great game .. i played this game for 3 weeks and still i'm not bored .. the tactics here are .. train all survivors that have no specialization into a soldier and when you reach day 100 + you should have at least 20 people that is always in patrol and always balance farms and apartments .. and change all suburbs to farms and change all gas stations into apartments .. it's the best way to survive :) have fun playing :D
Loren -- I agree. The first task I do every turn is free up everyone on defense. And the last task I do every turn is assign anyone available to defense. Both tasks should be automatic. And I do like the idea of having the "defense percentage" status being shown as I assign people to missions. The other change I would make is to have the "daily update" notices not cover up the top line indicating the current status of numbers of people and amount of food.
Given a reasonable start (if it isn't I immediately start over) hard isn't hard--I beat it nearly 100% of the time, scores around 500k. I just did it in 157 days to all 4 victories. Harder, though--I beat it the first time I tried it (on an older version, though) and I haven't managed to beat it since. How it could be improved: 1) Everyone in town should fight, there should be no need to assign them to defense. This would also mean that people who finished a mission that turn would be available for defense. 2) While assigning a mission it should tell you the threat to the fort, updated as you assign people to do something else. 3) It feels wrong that the zombies in a square can attack your fort while you are engaged in a kill zombies mission in that square--at a minimum the soldiers involved should participate in the defense of the fort. (They're there killing zombies--they're going to ignore the opportunity to shoot zombies in the back?!?!) 4) An easier way to assign larger groups of soldiers.
it's hard but it's a great game .. two thumbs up
wow this is an awesome game. luv it!
Nice job rharmelink! I'm going to try to beat that now. I think the problem I had is that I did not have enough builders at the beginning to keep annexing squares - i had to use soldiers which take more time, etc. Well here goes...
Awesome game.
oh my god. i want to say. this is the best flash game i ever played. it just genius. thanks to all creators
Normal 12x12 120 days 4 endings
BoyWander -- Just tried an easy game: 79 turns for all 4 endings. With some luck, I suspect that could go down under 65 turns. In easy mode, there are rarely food, happiness, or zombie horde problems.
nightmare 12X12 125 days woot
Awesome game!
Yay 98 days.
Going to try to get all 4 endings in less than 100 days on Easy - anyone done that yet?
Nice game... my best score was 375365, but it's much lower in highscore, what's up with that?
Finally just beat it in Harder mode. 193 days. Wonder if I can beat it in impossible? Any tips from anyone who has?
perfect zombie game
best game I've played excellent
how
this is cool *** this s going to be censored
wtf
omg it is
wow funny *** the word *** is censored
how
is it possible to turn the sound off?
and why is the word h o w censored?
For upgrades to this game, I'd really recommend redoing the people selection screen. It really is a pain in the rear to click 5, scroll down, click 5, scroll down. It would be really nice if there was just an area where you could type *** many you want to send, and a screen that tells you exactly who you have under your command - *** many soldiers, leaders, etc. It would be nice if this was displayed on the main screen, in a corner.
I've beaten this on Hard level twice now, last time in about 130 days to get all 4 endings. Main strategy is recruit recruit recruit - then go after farms and *** using early on in the game. Then mid-game go for *** spital, lab, school. Once you have about 30 soldiers to spare while keeping people in your police station to keep danger under 20%, then just hammer out block after block, keep 6-8 builders and reclaim blocks. On Hard, you need about 60-70 people to get all 4 endings.
i found 4 wayes to beat it
1.20 in armor games plz ?
Fun Zombie game, and addicting, of course! All difficulty will eventually be hard. At first, you will like "oh this game is EFFING easy". Then, "OMG THE ZOMBIE OUTNUBERED ME!!!"

this is aswomer

Very nice game. easy is lame normal is ok hard is doable i'm going for harder now :D Beat me "RunenFest 561888" Ranking 12
This game *** rocks!
this game is amazingly great!!! 10/10
this game is fantastic, but at higher difficulty its to much luck involved...its impossible to win, if you didn´t get the right buildings in front of you at the start. if you will ever make a second part of this game, it would be much more fun if the player had more influence on the *** igned missions (if you *** ign a mission with 5% danger and it fails than its a real pain in the ***
this game is really fun, can keep playing it over and over again and it never gets old!
Great game, I am finding it hard with a riot though. It's quite interesting.
I have finished all endings 285 DAYA-EASY-noob, right?
COOOL! i was also reseted to day one...looks like they were upgrading the game
I also was reset to turn 1 (on a Nightmare game that was going FAR better than I ever would have expected). In FireFox, I find the game sometimes crashes my browser as it draws on more and more memory usage as the turns go by.
I just tried to continue my game and it did reset me from day 1... d@mn I was almost done...:( So and advice from me - don't rely on saves - the might not work at all!
love this game
Who couldn't love this game.
FINALLY beat nightmare mode!!!!!!!!!! A few tips are to find as many survivors as you can and have the food/happiness to sustain it. Scout and get survivors, build farms/apartments, train lots of soldiers, defend. *** rdes will start moving at you in waves every 3 to 5 turns. Try to keep survivability at around 30% at all times. Expand to malls/police stations, as they provide defense boosts. The name of the game is defense.
amazing game i haven't played a game that took me this much time since i was like 10 years old , i highly recommend this game
spent a good couple *** urs playing this right out of the gates, never happens with most games, anymore, lost count of the number of *** urs since i first tried, great game
Great game
This game is awesome !! it's been a while since i enjoyed that much a flash game. 10/10 Need some improvments about : - it's a bit too long - the beginning (1/3) felt like difficulty is ok but then it becomes a bit easy and repetitive - the view on zombie attacks is totally useless :) sorry - maybe add some zoom in/out feature, which could be useful when the map becomes larger - we should be able to train simultaneously the same number of people than number of schools Congrats !! from france

I think this game is really cool, for it reminds me of the episode Lost, and it brings a good experience of a Sim City under Left 4 Dead like scene.
This game is not better the the first 1 it SUCKS!
one of the best flash games in the world
Great game im rating it 10 stars at first I found I starved cause I didnt manage my stuff that grat but later I started making loads of food and could survive with loads of people Tip!: always try to keep at least 2 food production that way you gain 2 food per turn remember every person uses 1 food per day though its kinda easy needs a little more death to it
very easy
Good game, about 10 *** urs spent on it in the last 2 days. Beat normal, tried harder twice unsuccessfully, then beat hard. I went on to win in all 3 different ways on hard and selected to keep playing, but now there is no way to end the game, so I don't know my score for that looooong game.

This game is EXCELLENT! Finely a ville style game with a theme that is cool!!! Great game can't wait to see what they do if they upgrade it!
i was just mind-fu *** ed.....awesome game!! XD
AWSOME
cool games. i find it nice
omg impossible on nightmare
I enjoy the game (too much). I can win most of the time at Hard, but rarely at Harder. If you can survive the first 60 turns or so, there's really no challenge for the rest of the game. I usually quit after beating down a few successive *** rdes easily. Scavengers are pretty worthless after the initial food situation is handled. It's fun to play while watching Dawn of the Dead or The Walking Dead. :)
Difficulty jump from Normal to Hard is way too big!
It's okay ,not like other zombie games
Ok, I think I've narrowed down the issue. If you gain food, but the amount gained would exceed your limit, you lose. This includes farming - if you start at your 50 limit, and grow 4 food, then eat 10, you finish with 40 food, not 44. Same with scavenging - if the scavenging would take you over your limit, the extra isn't counted. I think the game would work better if the limit were not imposed until after all pluses and minuses were applied, with the exception of spoilage. Also, a message that tells you when you are losing stockpiled food due to hitting the cap would be welcome.
This is a great game, but scavenging food doesn't seem to work all the time, particularly when you have a food surplus. Any chance of debugging?
this game doesnt load
To Grizzly1900: most likely you will need to clear the cache
I've not been able to log into it today
This is an awesome game... Except for the last few days where it won't let me connect to the server so I can actually play.
This game has a decent level of complexity and a lot of depth, but a good tutorial makes it really easy to get started! I like the balance between random and non-random elements, which reward careful decision–making, but keeps things from getting stagnant. I particularly appreciate the ability to keep playing even after you've achieved a win condition.
I love this game in so many ways I can't even explain I *** pe you make another one soon. Perhaps add vehicles and new buildings that would be great ^.^
Nice game, next time will try harder level
same i won by curing zombieism then kept playing and my comp crashed -.-
LOL i beat this game but im still playing it. (i won be curing zombieism and starting a government
I Love This Game...It's Pretty Simple And I Think This Will Always Be The Thing I Go To When I'm Bored...
