I was thinking it would be great to be able to fortify an area beyond the capabilities of Wire fencing, Sandbags and Tank traps. Maybe be able to collect a lot of supplies and build sections of a makeshift wall or even find a proper fence that you could erect to try and fortify a house or something a long those lines and make a base for you and your friends to setup camp. Had the idea when playing with some friends earlier this evening and stumbling across a villa sitting on it's own on a hill looking over a town on the Lingor map. The idea that you could put A LOT of effort in to build up a base, secure it with a wall and possibly some sort of gate and a fence. Somewhere to keep vehicles and supplies when you log off and hope that they can be kept safe. Obviously they wouldn't be impenetrable, that would be a little unfair but they would definitely be difficult to penetrate, needing a specialty item maybe harder to find than a toolbox. The walls would take a lot of supplies to even build a small section so it would take an incredible amount of effort but of course the rewards would be vast. It would take a lot to perfect the idea and it is more geared towards keeping other players out but maybe if zombies were about they could "Attack" the walls and cause damage to them slowly taking them down to force their way in to the camp and get to you. This would be even more effective if the idea of "Random Roaming Herds" was introduced.

Hi guys, I know this particular idea has probably been done to death but I've not personally seen the idea on the forums so I'm making a quick post about it just now. In the standalone game, I think it would really add to that feeling of insecurity and make sure you were always on your toes if there was the opportunity of running in to a town that a massive horde of 75+ zombies was advancing through, or even out in the forest, you think you're safe so start a fire to cook some food and all of a sudden, stumbling through the trees you see one zombie, then another, then another and all of a sudden there's 50 of them bearing down on you and you have to get out of there faster than Usain Bolt jogging over a finishing line. Now, I'm not saying that they should be wandering the map at all times, that would be insane. But they could spawn at random throughout the map when players were near and wander aimlessly either stumbling across a player or eventually despawning after not being near a player for a set amount of time. It's a pretty rough idea of what it could be but I think it could really add to the feel of the game, knowing that at anytime you could be overrun by zombies and if you let your guard down by thinking you won't ever run into the horde, the feeling of sheer terror when you eventually do would be incredible. Ah well, thanks for reading through my basic idea for a game element, hope some people agree.
