Random Zombie Wanderers, and Wandering Hordes

Recommended Posts

Currently (though not a big deal), Zombies only spawn around buildings and not in the open fields and or forests (with the exception of some tiny buildings/towers in foresty/open areas where some may be found wandering in around forests).

I mostly play at night and would find this very exciting to have to be careful to not randomly run into random zombies in the forests and or in the open.

Also during the day, or even at night, this can be very beneficial for players to hunt zombies that may have some ammo or goods on them just as they hunt animals.

Also, if you watched the AMC series The Walking Dead, this would be somewhat realistic for the zombies to migrate for more food. They may adapt to being in a horde as they have a better chance to find food in numbers.

On a side note: Current 1.5.7 zombie spawns in towns should respawn fairly fast at first to simulate zombies coming out of non-enterable buildings (from gunfire), and then after a wave or two of random respawns, they should stop respawning to simulate town being cleared, however respawn in at least 10-20 minutes.

Infact the same thing is also mentioned shortly in my post, 3 minutes before you.

The last part of the suggestion seems good thou, I would love to be able to actually "clear" a town for a longer time.
