Rebuild

A post-apocalyptic game, where you have to reclaim your city from the zombies. It's fairly simple, but if you don't play attention you can easily die. :awesome

Edit: Go here http://twotowersgames.com/games/rebuild-zombie if you want to be able to play the game in fullscreen. The little window was driving me insane.

 

On August 21, 2014, Counselor Pimp of Pimpington simultaneously wrote the Constitution of Pimpington, closed the Evil Zombie Portal, cured Zombieism and reclaimed the final city block of Pimpington. Fun little timesink.

 

First 50 days was a massive rush to balance between soldiers/builders.

And then I ran out of food - FUUUUUU you cant change them into scavengers. Was a nice little decision you had to make - soldiers or scavengers?

 

I sent the first span of the game desperately trying to manage my soldier levels. I couldn't expand too much without leaving the walls unguarded. Eventually got pissed off after losing a few squares. ;-;

 

First game I got to 164 days in before I'd conquered every block, had a constitution and closed the portal. Whoresville will live to see another day.

 

All my soldiers are losing their eyes in accidents. It's a little disconcerting.

 

Soldiers can build decently, but builders are shite at zombie-killing. By mid-game I had a nice food surplus going so I had no scavengers, only a few builders, a half-dozen scientists, one Leader (the aforementioned Counselor Pimp) and all the rest were soldiers. Only rarely did I ever do anything that didn't have the risk driven down to 0% by hordes of soldiers.

 

At day 77 atm. Fucking wish I'd read you couldn't train scavengers. Suddenly I got hit with a bunch of bad food events so I'm quickly running low. Fun game.

Edit. How do I take the city hall? I've sent waves of soldiers in there killing a ton, and I don't see any movement towards capturing the thing.

I added the link the game's main website, where you can play it in fullscreen if that little window pisses you off like it did to me. http://twotowersgames.com/games/rebuild-zombie

 

Could have just won by day 90, not really sure I want to. I haven't sealed the portal yet. I'm going to for a coup de grace and do what Tehan did and win the game in all the way simultaneously.

edit: Damn infested police station ruined it. I had it timed except it was off by one day, and the damn place got infested. It took me 10 more days to finally secure the place. At which point I won the game in three separate ways.

 

Well, my run in Harder mode as Carlton of Bel-Air failed spectacularly. Though I was probably asking for it.

 

I focused on getting a lot of farms early so I wouldn't have to worry about food. Problem was that I forgot about keeping bitches happy and had to rush to build/conquer a bunch of bars and churches.

 

I just took everything around it and kept sending in kill-teams at 0% danger until eventually it was clear of zombies. I think City Hall is a zombie spawn point, and the way to proceed is to just keep clearing it out whenever you've got some soldiers to spare until whatever the trigger is to stop the spawning - x amount of zombies killed? y amount of kill-missions into it? Some other factor? - fires, and then you're clear to move in.

Spoiler

All it does is give you the 'Draft Constitution' win condition if you've got six leaders, which I think is a fair bit trickier than the 'Cure Zombieism' one (which just needs a few labs) as well as being more finicky about who can do it than the 'Destroy the Evil Portal' one. Only the 'Claim the Entire City' win condition is more of a pain.

 

Could have won by curing the zombie plague early in the game, but chose not to. On day 204 I conquered the last city block, and chose to keep playing. The cure is being researched, and I am drafting a constitution. My score is 277,490. Only 6 people died.

Edit: On day 214, I have conquered the whole city, cured the plague, drafted a constitution, and destroyed the portal from whence the zombies arose. My final score is 310,040.

I eventually built a team of 10 soldiers, all of whom were missing an eye.

 

Cured the zombie problem at about day 120-something, got a score of 250,000-something, and had fun throughout. Didn't quite feel motivated to finish it off, but it was an awesome little timesink. I quite enjoyed sending out five recurring guys to go on zombie-killing missions and letting them fight through them, go crazy, lose limbs, get scarred and all that, and damn it all if I didn't feel a little disheartened when some of them died.

 

Fun stuff. I stopped after I researched the zombie cure on day 100-something. From days 20-40 I had serious food shortages, 5 or so people died of starvation, 2 left. I sent all the soldiers on missions to conquer farms, and changed all the apartments that I didn't need to farms.

 

All I had were soldiers and scientist. Later in the game I got some builders and an extra leader but up until that point it was me and a shitload of soldiers.

 

Tried a game on harder mode and got absolutely massacred. Wave after wave of ever stronger zombies, with me losing a guy every few days and losing the big farm I was lucky enough to spawn next to.
