More Zombies!

[edonovan 15]

I've seen the suggestions for zombies in the woods and more zombies in towns, which is all good, but I haven't seen one request for zombies spawning without player presence.

For me, and I'm sure many others, I breathe a sigh of relief every time I scope a town and see no spawned zeds, as that means there are no players there (usually). This seems to give an unrealistic ease of tension, so how about adding dumb zombies (predetermined paths) to towns and switching to the smarter zombies when a player is within range?

This would give us quite a few more zeds, and instead of having them materialize in front of us, we'd just have their brains materialize, which would not be as obvious.

But then I'm not sure how the current system works, so this may be how it is already coded.
