adding to that last comment, never last those crazy bastards set up a book or church or anything, they make everyone go insane and kill themselves, i lost probably 60 people at least to one insane bastard in a church. It would've been nice to tell him to stop, but there is no *stop crazy guy from preaching your entire city to death* button. I literally had the entire city blockaded, not one square with zombies still on, I had won the game in two or three different ways, and yet still lost afterwards from that ass.

Juustox: In reference to your question, did you complete all the endings? They are: Judgment Gang; Laboratory; City Hall; and Helicopter. (I also choose to reclaim the whole city.) If you have, you can leave the town to start a new one. (My preferred way is to go by helicopter.) You and four of your people (hopefully you have some very experienced people) can leave to do so. If you have experienced people, it is easier to complete harder difficulties. These days, I find it easy enough to play the Impossible mode from the complete start, but I don't recommend attempting that until one learns the game well. But with experienced people, you should be able to beat Impossible mode when you know the game well enough as it is far easier to complete than the original Rebuild's Nightmare mode. Good luck!

What the hell is with all the firearms in grocery stores?!?! This is like I'm living back down south! Also I found a GREAT way to beat impossible. If you wall off sections of the level, no new zombies can get there. Only take over farms/living places/malls/all-marts in your goal to wall off places. Every time you have a random zombie attack, the numbers within will be reduced. It's risky for a little while because of how many places your fence is touching, but it will eventually reduce the total number of zombies overall especially if you take over the corners. My first 'win' was below 100 days with this strat, but I kept on playing to get them all. (the zombie cure one is too random, after antivenom is researched I spent 48 days doing nothing)

It would be SMARTER if we could customize our own Character instead of clicking a picture a million times finding a Character that you like?

Ok, we have 35 survivors about 50 blocks 95 happiness and 100 food. (5 turns later) we have 13 survivors 8 blocks 0 happiness 0 food and everyone is rioting.

It was captain's birthday -382 food +5 happiness, but i guess its alright to take a load off sometimes and just have some fun...

If you keep on going in the game (my goal this time was to reclaim all the blocks of my city), happiness levels skyrocket and the Chosen Ones' worshipers start LEAVING THE CITY to join the other zombies. That's messed up. I love this game. 5/5 stars.

Youngmakar: I avoid the Church of the Chosen Ones ending (embracing zombieism) by not allowing them to write the book about the zombies in the first place. Many people do allow them to do that (for some needed happiness), but they do say NO to letting them set up the Church.

The following information Sionyx provided me (but I have never tested the results). I was told that even if you do allow them to to do such, that there ARE precautions to hopefully keep your fort from committing mass suicide (but it isn't a guarantee). They are: don't give food for the Day of the Dead; and don't add the Big Graveyard to the fort. Also mentioned is that there is an event where some of your survivors will come to the leader and ask to ban the Church because they're worshiping zombies. If you say yes you will lose the leader of the Church and two other random survivors but the fort will be saved from this ending. If you say no, some of your survivors will leave in disgust and you are well on your way to accomplishing that ending.
Elsewhere, I read that when you get a third church that the process is also irreversible. So try to either not get a third church or convert your churches into something else first (such as apartments).
Good luck!

I've loved playing this game for years now. Sad it won't play here anymore. Going to try the flashpoint player so I'll at least have a copy on my PC.

Wish you could recruit the gambler (and let him keep his cat!) instead of him just leaving. I mean, what's he going to do out there with no food? Would he literally rather die than stay in our awesome fortress? Heck, I'd even let him set up a mini casino! Or tend bar or something. I also wish "unused" weapons could add to the defense if you have idle/guarding survivors--obviously if you have a stockpile you're going to use it. And the housing situation feels weird overall. Not just the "only two people can live in an apartment building/motel" bit, but the way people are willing to live in zombie-infested malls, churches, farms, etc., but once they're inside our fort, they're suddenly uninhabitable.

So I can either recruit survivors or build a wall around the place. So I build a wall around it and all the survivors magically disappear. Ok.

it looks like it starts, but the loading screen always goes back to the screen where you choose the difficulty. It never actually starts the game.

A good way to get the hard badge if you already started a game on an easier difficulty is to go to another city with level 10 survivors. You can go to another city by drafting a constitution and it will ask if 5 survivors want to rebuild a new city. Drafting a constitution is the only way I've won so you may be able to do this with other endings as well. All 5 of my survivors are maxed out in at least 2 areas and it gave me a good headstart.

@appiey. Its a reference to pandemic 2. In pandemic you are a virus trying to infect the world. Madagascar is the hardest to infect place of all times. It closes it ports if someone even sneezes wrong in the USA. that is why the comment is funny.

If you want to complete game on seriously hard or impossible difficulty to get the badge, do the followings, so it is easier:
1.Start a game on pretty easy, with a small city.
2.Complete the game on pretty easy.
3.Choose 5 citizens.
4.Use the schools to train the citizens till' they're maxed out on everything.
5.Equip them good stuff.
6.Repair the helicopter, or write a constitution.
7.Use the helicopter or the city hall to send those 5 citizens to another city.
8Choose seriously hard or impossible difficulty for the new city.
Now you have 5 supersoldiers who are masters of everything and have great eyuipment.They will help you a lot in conquering a new city and get the badge.

I let a mad scientist take over my lab and one days note was exactly this:
"Dr. Lovokaski came out of the lab and announced he made a break through in a cure, glad he's doing something instead of jacking off in front of the lab all day."

Won in 55 days, with a max of 12 people... they all where starving, and yet somehow when I won, the news paper made them not look that skinny... I think the church must have kept some of that communion bread and wine back, only way they lived... either that or they kept the bodies... *dramatic pause* ya... anyways, good game!

Tips for seriously difficult completion badge: First, make sure that the town is a small one, and preferably one with a large farm within immediate grabbing distance. You should focus your first 5-10 turns of relative safety on securing a hospital, a police station, and as many farms and survivors as possible. Make sure you regularly rotate out survivors on guard duty so that they can all be more diversely skilled. After the zombie attacks start becoming dangerous begin focusing on capturing any nearby police stations, malls and all-marts for fortification bonus. If things are going very well by this point consider getting a laboratory, however I won without one, and you should not focus your game on it unless you are in a very solid position. From here just make sure everything stays balanced out and you keep taking territories. Constitution is the safest way to win in my opinion. good luck!

Don't allow anyone to establish "The Church Of The Chosen Ones". Sooner or later, everyone kills themselves to be a "Chosen One".

Oh, and to everyone asking for an easy way to identify which buildings have lots of zombies, click the layered green/yellow/red squares beside the little graph drawing. Buildings then get highlighted in red if there's lots of zombies, yellow if there's some zombies and green if there's none.

Claim the whole city first before trying to finish the game. trust me it's a lot easier as no hordes appear. also try to divide the city into chunks when claiming as it reduces the amount of zombies attacking you if you only have 1 straight wall across the map.

The greatest game ever haha.. you feel like such a badass when you play.
Time to up grade from easy mode though - oh shit I just died in 2 rounds. FML

Pro tip: Send one high-skill person to do a job so it gets done quickly and safely, AND send several lower-skill people along with him so that they all get skill boosts. I managed to train my entire population to be skilled soldiers by having them go with the veterans for killing missions (and it works for building, too).
