[GP/UI] infected neutrals

[TheForgivenOne]

Maybe Killer Neutrals should not be an "Infected", but just remain Killers.

That would be a good idea. I hadn't really considered it until the Monsters map was mentioned.

I agree, killers shouldn't be zombies, especially if they're going to be resetting still. That would make things way too difficult.

Alright, i updated the first post so that Killer neutrals are not infected. If no objections are made, i will be Moving this to Suggested

You missed one spot:

Any neutral armies introduced to the game by deadbeats, bombardments or killer territories are infected and incubate for one full game round before becoming active.

Might want to change that text as well to avoid confusion. Also, I suggest killer neutrals have a prefix of "k" when color codes are on.

I have some questions regarding certain scenarios. If ther are 2 players left in say, a 8 player freestyle standard game and they both have 1 territory left (and their territories do no border, it is only surrounded by infected neturals). When Player B ends his/her turn (still with the above situation), does Player A get the win?

Depends whoever gets killed first by the Infected Neutral. It's sort of like a "Nuke" situation, if 2 people nuke each other to end the game, whichever card was played first nukes first. So basically, who ever has the territory with either the Most Troops on it, or whoever's territory has the name that starts closest to A, they would be attacked first. (Can't remember off the top of my head which is being chosen, so i gave both options)

The real question is.

WHAT ARE THEY INFECTED WITH?!

Alright, i tweaked two things to the first post. If anyone disagrees, please PM me or post in here

Okay, I'll admit that I haven't visited this forum in a long while, so I'm sorry for the delayed response.

However, I've been working in the Foundry (slowly) on a map called Zombie Invasion. It's still in the gameplay stages before some serious graphics work gets done, but the idea was developed partly with the Infected Neutrals suggestion in mind. This new change you propose, which makes killer neutrals exempt, would require a possible re-think on my map.

The thing is this: my map was intended to have zombies as an unlimited force... players literally could never be rid of them, they could only hope to get to the helipad and escape. The only way to ensure that the 'zombies' (neutrals) never went away is to use killer neutrals.

If the Infected Neutrals suggestion ever gets implemented- and with a new website developer, that is a more distinct possibility- then it would seem sad to me that the zombies on my map would actually be 'zombie-proof'!

Well, for a map like Monsters, It would be impossible to maintain the Wizard. On Das Schloss, Hubschrauber A & B would kill all the Parachutes off instantly, due to having a ton of Troops on them.

Edit** Also, what the original plan was, that every Neutral would attack anything beside it, if it had the forces. Now, with Killer Neutrals, this threw a few maps like the 2 i mentioned out of whack. Now, from your map, all the Neutrals on the streets are killers, correct? Well, with this new feature coming in, it would ACTUALLY make your map nearly impossible to play, since if you have 4 starting points, and only 3 troops to deploy, you'd be kinda hooped. Because the killer neutrals, on the streets, would constantly be gaining 1 each turn, along with Neutrals in the areas off the streets. But with this, the Neutrals won't be gaining 1 each turn, but still remain as if this game type wasn't played.

The only way to ensure that the 'zombies' (neutrals) never went away is to use killer neutrals.

I'm not saying that we will remove killer neutrals off the maps. I'm just saying they won't be considered "infected". This game type would more likely give you a more zombie like feel, as each room is filled with so many infected. There still will be killer neutrals on the streets, they will come back after each time someone conquers the territory, they just won't be able to attack off their own space. Maybe create a safe room for starting terts? So that in case this gets implemented, infected won't be charging into your starting terts.

I'm so in support of this as a new setting...and so opposed to letting new recrutis play it. There really needs to be a list of settings that new recruits can't access for a few games!

Alright, after reviewing over this thread, i think all the kinks have been worked out. So i will be moving this to Suggested
