It seems like luck plays a huge role in this game...particularly early game. First time I tried, my survivors kept dying without finding any weapons, so I started over and made it entirely through the game without ever taking any damage at all because I got lucky early on. I'm not sure what would fix that. Maybe make survivors rarer, but much less likely to die when searching?

People having problems with the search....
Ideally, 3 maybe 4 people max is what you want. Their melee skill has to be decent as well as their search. Check the percentage markers on the search party section for info.

People who are having problems with their search party dying perhaps should read the in game instructions more. Search and melee ratings are important, as is group size in determining if they are found or not. I don't think I got particularly lucky with the random generator, but I was able to beat this on my first time through without too many problems. Overall, I thought it was very fun, but a little too easy, if anything.

Hint : search party of 3 is enough. Commit only survivors with a 2/3 or 3/2 melee/search ratio. This makes for a tough yet less conspicuous party.
Keep handy replacements elsewhere in case of casualties. Keep this comment up for other players.

I can hold off a horde of zombies at night by myself, but an entire group of survivors gets eaten whenever they try to search an empty building. Sounds about right.

oh you have 80% chance of surviving an encounter while looking for survivors... here, let me kill you two of your teammates while you found no survivor !

First put all the survivors on the search that will make their chances to survive and find big,put the next survivors to shooters and maybe if you have 5 put 1 on the melee or PA ,after filling the shooters slots put all next on melee and 1 slot PA and the game should run smooth.

No zombie pass throught my defenses, but my searching squad is getting killed over and over, and finding no other survivors. How am I supposed to keep going ?

The probability of finding versus losing survivors isn't balanced well. If that was fixed and the game required a some tactical planning, I'd give it a 5/5. As is, 3/5.
